The term you’re looking for is “uncanny valley”

Why doesn’t someone just fork it and change the name?

Like, I dunno, “Super Human Image Treatment” or “Consistently Lovely Image Treatment Oriented for Real Imaging Stars”

All those comments, and only you knew what was really up? People really do treasure their ignorance…

You assume there’s lots of chemicals, but did you check? The process of canning food doesn’t necessarily require a lot of chemicals: a lot of canned food is cooked in the can, after it’s sealed, which kills most of the microbes that might spoil the food and make you sick. And because it’s sealed, no microbes can get in, either.

Makes you long for golden parachutes that don’t open when their 737 Max loses an engine or two

With Product Placement!

Cuts like a knife, don’t it?

I gotta have my naturally sparkling Perri-air

I’m sure he got a little cum on his back at some point.

You’re trying to apply objectivity to a very subjective area. I’m not saying it’s impossible, and you should by all means try it, but maybe it would be a good idea to try something that has a better chance, first, such as this:

How about an open platform for scientific review and tracking? Like, whenever a new discovery or advance is announced, that site would cut through the hype, report on peer review, feasibility, flaws in methodology, the ways in which it’s practical and impractical, how close we are to actual usage (state of clinical trials, demonstrated practical applications, etc.)

And it would keep being updated, somewhat like Wikipedia, as more research occurs. It needs a more robust system of review to avoid the problems that Wikipedia has, and I don’t have the solution for that, but I believe there’s got to be a way to do it that’s resistant to manipulation.

Resistance is futile. (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)

Distilled water is safe to drink, as long as you have a balanced diet that includes all the vitamins and minerals your body needs.

The claim that it “leeches” those minerals out of you isn’t supported by any real evidence.

I used to drink distilled water at home for years with no side effects.

Unless you turn on “original sound for musicians” Zoom uses AI to filter the audio for voices mainly. I rarely if ever hear any keystrokes or mouse clicks anymore… Lots of other non voice noises get filtered out.

Kind of ironic that the content they can’t monetize through ads is the content they’re blocking from third parties
