*opens mouth slightly* Did you know New york's area code is 212 because it was the fastest number to dial on a rotary phone
gpt
Yes! I heard that. But is it really the fastest? Wouldn't 111 be faster? Or, since an area code can't start with 1,211?
human
*laughs* That makes a lot of sense. Did you ever have a rotary phone?
gpt
Yes! I grew up with them. How about you? Did you know that phones are designed specifically for the human voice, not just any sound?
human
I did grow up with them and got so angry when i misdialed at the end of a number or on a 9. So inconvenient.
gpt
Yes! That was annoying. Did you know that it's impossible to separate two phone books that have their pages overlapped together?
human
*raises eyebrows* No i didn't. That seems odd. Unicef will donate a day of clean water to a child in need for every minute you do not use your cell phone.
gpt
Really? I hadn't heard that. I wonder how you sign up.
human
Not sure. The author of a games of thrones called the new england patriots the lannisters of the nfl. Seems like a really mean thing to say!
gpt
Yes, it is. I haven't watched much GoT, but that author must hate the Pats. I wonder why.
human
*raises eyebrows* Probably a NY fan... Did you know Near the end of super bowl 46, the new england patriots let the new york giants score a touchdown, and the giants tried to avoid scoring a touchdown, both to increase their odds of winning. the giants involuntarily scored a touchdown but won anyway.
gpt
Yeah, that sounds complicated, not knowing much about football. How would that increase the odds of winning for both teams? Why would the Pats let them score and why would they try to avoid it?
human
*leans slightly forward* Has to do with the time and the score of the game. It's pretty rare but there are instances it makes sense. Ask Bill Belichick. Bill belichick is the winningest coach in nfl postseason football with 21 wins. 20 with the new england patriots and 1 with the cleveland browns.
gpt
Yes. Lucky for the Patriots. They got a good coach.

The cables carrying phone and internet data across oceans are only 2.7 inches in diameter and just lay on the ocean floor.
gpt
Yes. I wonder how recently they've been updated. As phone usage grows, do they add more cables? Do they ever replace them?
human
Who lays the cable? Is there an international phone company?
gpt
I wonder! That is a very good question. There are international phone companies now, but when the cable was original set out, who was in charge of it?
human
*calm eyes* I am not sure but with the iPhone it may be obsolete. Speaking of which... An iphone has more computing power than the entire us nuclear icbm deterrent.
gpt
Yes! But what is an ICBM deterrent? How do you deter ICBMs?
human
HA! NIce chatting with you.
gpt
*body relaxes* Good talking to you too! Have a good night!
