  • For me, it would be more about figuring out the rough volume. So, like, you look at a hazelnut, it appears to be about a half-inch spherical value. There seem to be about 6 wide across the bottom, so you could assume that the bottom is somewhere around three inches wide. The top is probably closer to about 5 inches wide. And the height is going to be something like 6 inches.

    This is also using rough guesstimation from my own personal knowledge of cups.

    So with that information I would use what I remember of the cylinder formula, which is pi times diameter times height I think.

    And average the two diameters for a four, so you would go four times six times pi is about 75 cubic inches of volume. Each hazelnut uses about 3/4 of an inch of volume so I would guess there are about 100 hazelnuts in the cup.

    That being said, the question is not, what is the correct way to guess it, just how would I do it, and this is how I would do it.

    I live in a geodesic dome and I have a free-standing wood-burning stove as a supplemental heat source in my master bedroom which overlooks the living room.

    It is capable of heating the entire house by itself, but I only use it like two or three times a year.

    That being said, it’s often very nice to start a fire on a cold day and have a girl over and have the fire. It’s a good excuse to not be wearing any clothes.

    Like, that’s the one-dimensional concept of the succubus.

    The one that most people think about or know about is a demonic creature that takes on an exquisite feminine form to lure their hapless victims into a state of lust from which they can drain the souls out of them.

    But, succubi, by and large, are servants of the Dark One, and therefore, it may rather be taking on a form that can suck out this one particular soul and confuse the person the whole time. They’re like, she’s not even that attractive. Why is my soul being depleted? I don’t get it. There’s got to be some sort of mystery going on. And everyone else os like why the fuck are you fucking that hag beast, the hell’s wrong with you, you’re rich, you can do better.

    And the whole time the dark one is laughing.


  • I mean, they are chock full of all sorts of preservatives to extend their shelf life, but they also have things like toilet paper and wipes, spoons and forks, heating pads, and various other things, and they can be eaten cold if there’s some reason not to start a fire.

    That being said, you can live a very long life eating only MREs. It’s not like if you only ate them for three weeks you would die. You might have some malnourishment, and you might desperately long for something else, but it wouldn’t be the nutrition issue that would kill you. They are designed to keep people alive in situations where bullets are an occupational hazard.

    But if I have an infinite supply of them and they are fresh, then when I encounter people that are starving I can trade it to them for bullets or knives or I can just give them away. Could probably save a lot of lives by being a food producer capable of keeping people alive.

    The largest risk I would face would be growing tired of the assortment.

    In the AI’s defense, it didn’t tell you to do it. It just said you can try.

    Kind of like that uncle we all grew up with if we grew up in the 90s that like could tell you how to do all sorts of illegal shit, but never told you to do the illegal thing. Just said, “Oh yeah, if you wanted to do that, I would do this.”

    Like, if you had just watched a crime movie, the conversation would go to how you would rob a bank and the uncle would whip out some, like, 40-step plan to rob a bank and get away with it involving ATVs and picking the right location and who his accomplices are.

    But, like, you can, at the same time, you also know the uncle would never do it. He’s talking out of his ass, making all this shit up on the fly.
