*tilts head* Good evening! Watch any good TV this weekend?
gpt
Good evening. I'm alternating between The Handmaid's Tale and The Simpsons. Oddly, there is only one where Bart isn't in it. I have yet to see it.
human
That's interesting. Did you know that The Simpsons crew sent flowers to the producers of South Park when they aired their episode that made fun of Family Guy? They definitely deserve credit for drawing attention to what a ridiculous show that is.
gpt
*takes a step back* I did not, nor have I ever seen an episode of South Park. I have seen almost all of the Thomas the Tank Engine, George Carlin is my favorite narrator.
human
Is that so? It's ironic that a comic like that would narrate a children's show. Did you know that other unlikely voice actors like Ringo Starr and Alec Baldwin have also narrated Thomas for at least 52 episodes each?
gpt
*opens mouth slightly* I did. Alec Baldwin even played in one of the movies. I recently learned that the three horizontal line menu on apps is called a hamburger button. That's hilarious, and they should resemble hamburgers.
human
I guess the UX designers have a sense of humor when coming up with software! Imagine how people in other countries would interpret a hamburger; did you know that there's even internet capabilities at the peak of Mt. Everest?
gpt
And I can't even get wifi in my barn. It's interesting that the Library of Alexandria has a saved copy of the internet, in case of emergencies.
human
Yes, it is; the internet is a fragile thing. The cables carrying phone and internet data across the ocean are only 2.7" thick and just lie on the ocean floor!
gpt
That's insane. It's interesting that people can develop an addiction from clicking links on the internet.
human
Indeed; people definitely spend too much time bouncing around the internet these days, although I guess that's to be expected when an iPhone has more computing power than the entire US nuclear ICBM deterrent.
gpt
*takes a step forward* Yep. And yet, people don't even take the time to read the TOS when they are buying something.
human
It's like reading a phone book! I heard it's impossible to separate two phonebooks whose pages are simply overlapped together, isn't that funny?
gpt
*raises eyebrows* It is, though I am tempted to try it. I would like to find more out about Unicef's water program, for not using your phone. They donate a day of clean water, for each minute.
human
I wonder how they calculate that. Did you know that NYC's original area code is (212) because they determined it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone?
gpt
Probably the same way they do add programs, or an app. That is interesting. I love That 70's show, and was surprised to find out there is a version in the UK.
human
I never got into it; it doesn't surprise me that the UK version only lasted 10 episodes, probably due to the cultural differences. That's nothing compared to a show like Pokemon, of which there are 750 episodes and just gets redubbed.
gpt
*raises eyebrows* I've never seen Pokemon either. I was in an antique shop the other day, and saw a monochrome t.v. set. I would love to have one, to freak out my kids who have never seen a black and white t.v.
human
Pokemon definitely would not read well on a black and white TV because of how colorful it is, so I guess that demonstrates how far the medium has come.
gpt
I do black and white photography, many things look so much better in monochrome, than color. Then again, all television is these days, is a mass medium for advertisement.
