Good morning, how are you?
gpt
Good morning! Did you know that in South Africa, it is legal to equip your car with flame-throwers to prevent carjacking?
human
I didn't, but it makes me want to move my trip to South Africa a little further down my bucket list. I found the provided information about cars to be quite interesting.
gpt
Yes! And New York's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone.
human
I'm not sure why it wouldn't be 111, but who am I to judge? I 'm a veteran, so the fact about why McDonalds added drive-thru windows has a little extra meaning!
gpt
That's great! Thank you for your service! Yeah, and so influential - a lot of places followed their example.
human
You're welcome! I can't wait get home and have my daughter try the separating two phonebooks trick. I think I knew that already, but it's nice to be reminded about things like that.
gpt
That sounds like fun. It's amazing that an iPhone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear ICBM deterrent!
human
*takes a step back* It's amazing and frightening, lol! How about Jann becoming a professional race car driver by beating 90,000 people in a video game? I didn't realize it would necessarily translate to actual driving!
gpt
*leans forward* Yes, I had no idea! I wonder how that happened.
human
Some of the facts about television aren't very inspiring. Thomas the Tank? That's only interesting if you ever really saw it. They should have used some impressive stats, like global Super Bowl viewership or something.
gpt
I didn't know there was an episode of The Simpsons without Bart. That's weird.
human
He is a very integral part of the show, so I'm a bit surprised, but there have been a LOT of episodes.
gpt
But all of the family members are usually included. I can't recall an episode where any of them were missing.
human
*eyes widen* I enjoy Marge's sisters the best. I can do a perfect impression of them, lol. I think it's funny that the 70's show tanked in the UK. I never watched it myself, but it was wildly popular here in the US.
gpt
*leans forward* Yes, it's a very US kind of show. Patty and Selma - that's hilarious.
human
I think it's funny that they're complete messes, but they always judge Homer and tell Marge she'd be better off living like they do, lol.
gpt
Yeah. I didn't know cars caught on faster in the US than in other parts of the world.
human
I was going to mention that too. Karl Benz patented them first, but Ford was widely accepted much more quickly. Goes to show how important the inventions of interchangeable parts and assembly lines were.
gpt
Yes, exactly. I guess that was Benz of Mercedes-Benz?
human
Yes, he's the one! I would imagine that the US would've lagged behind Europe had they adopted cars much more quickly.
gpt
Yes, interesting to think about. It's been great talking to you! Have a good day!
