[ { "role": "user", "content": "Hey there what do you think about the United States Senate" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "The Senate is the highest legislative body in the land. It provides employment to some of the richest people in the country." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yep you're right. There are 100 US senators. Interesting that Senators used to be appointed by the states, but now they are elected by the people" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Elections might not have solved the problem. In 1988, a chimpanzee received 400.000 votes in a mayoral election in Rio de Janeiro, coming in third place. Is that chimp still around? Can we get him?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Haha he doesn't sound that bad. He sounds actually very popular haha. Very crazy that Richard Nixon broke a 160 five-year-old gavel" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Nixon was never very good with his hands. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Haha that's a good point. Apparently there is a candy desk in the US Senate. It's been there since 1968. I want to attack that desk eat all the candy haha" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I wonder why that got started. Candy? Should be eating healthy food. Attitudes need to change. Even in 2000 40 percent of Alabamans voted to keep the state's unenforceable ban on interracial marriage. It's good to see progress south of the Mason-Dixon line. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah that's sad. A lot of those Senators need to get healthier. Also sad is that women were not allowed to wear pants in the Senate until 1993" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I bet if chimpanzees got elected to senate, they would face a similar battle over clothing. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "If chimpanzees got elected to the Senate that would probably be the least of our worries haha, can you believe the Indian government set up a polling booth for just one person" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I guess there is a legal obligation. If chimps could vote in the jungle, that chimp would have gotten elected mayor in Brazil " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah I guess I could see that. What is insane is that men in the UK had to wait until 1918 before all of them could vote. Like how is that a thing" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "People without money were seen as a threat to gov't by the rich. Now many people are not allowed to vote in the US. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Nope I've heard that. Speaking of that 34% of the Alabama male population has permanently lost the right to vote" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That's fishy. That should be changed. JFK voted against the 1957 civil rights act. I wonder what he was thinking then. It sounds like Alabama hasn't changed much." }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is shocking about JFK. I get a laugh that the citizens of Austin Texas rename their garbage dump Fred Durst after a vote LOL" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "A way to enter the annals of history, that's for sure. It would be great to have someone like Harry Truman again. He really put the kibosh on corruption and waste." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah he was a great president. Do you go to concerts at all? I know that Linkin Park does like 320 tours a year" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Linkin Park is gone, as far as I know. They lost a member and that ended the band." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Oh I didn't know that. What about the Ramones do you like them? I guess they did like 2000 concerts in 20 years" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Can you imagine spending millions of dollars on suits?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I can not imagine. I like nice clothes but dont think it should costme more than i make." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Apparently some people spend a million bucks to buy one blue and one grey suit that aren't all that flattering." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I would probably rather shop at the store in alabama that sells clothes cameras and what ever else is found in unclaimed luggage." }, { "role": "user", "content": "But what about the ostrich jacket? Or maybe you could find one at that store in Alabama." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "ostrich jacket is funny. I wonder if he had the shoes to match." }, { "role": "user", "content": "They also have a python jacket. I'm confused, is that a real Python? And how many Pythons would you need to make a Python jacket?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I don't know, if you use different pythons does the pattern change?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, maybe it would end up somewhat striped. I wonder if the jacket would need to get tailored further or if the high price tag includes the tailoring. Fashion and style aficionados look for collar gaps on clothing to see if you get your clothes tailored or not." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "For that price it better look right. I wonder if Apple clothing from 1986 is worth anything today?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Probably. Speaking of clothing brands, would you buy Rip Curl? Some of its clothes are made in Nort Korea but the label says made in China." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I have some rip curl now i'm curious as to where it was made." }, { "role": "user", "content": "So back in the Pilgrim's time I guess everyone got clothes tailored so it was not anything fancy. Their clothes were actually colorful. I always thought they were black." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "They did wear black but it was only for special events." }, { "role": "user", "content": "So only humans wear clothes. I wonder why. But actually it is cute when humans place little sweaters on tiny little dogs." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I find it odd when people dress up animals. its like when someone manages to impersonate a goverment offical before being caught. Like a man in france who even got to sell the eiffel tower twice." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Well he must be pretty smart if he got that far. What do you think about the witty thing Oscar Wilde would say upon arrival to U.S. Customs? \"I have nothig to declare except my genius.\"" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I like wildes famous last \"my wallpaper and i are fighting a duel to the death. one or other of us has got to go\"" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Wow, I can't imagine being that witty when I'm about to die. Haha." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Can you believe kissing wildes lipstick covered tomb could get you a fine of $12000" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I would probably take selfie of myself pretending to kiss the tomb. Sounds pretty gross to kiss a tomb, let alone one that's been kissed by thousands of other people. Well, going to go research that more. Have a good night!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "hi, do you know much about the us senate?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "well I do know that Nixon cracked a 165 year old senate gavel haha, what about yoU?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "hahhaa that is funny. i know they have a drawer with candy" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "haha I wonder what kind of candy personally, I guess that was started in 1968, now im hungry haha" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah lucky them. only candy made in pensylvania it seems" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "oh interesting, well I do love Milky Ways and Mars bars, Hershey's is made in Pennsylvannia too" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah and on top of that, jellybeans as well" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "pretty dumb that women couldnt wear pants until 1993 in the senate what do you think?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah that is trange, good think those two staged a protest" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "yup it was Barbara Mikulski and Carol Moseley, good for them!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah, revolutionaries. did you know Jordan was asked why he did not endorse a fellow black candidate, democrat?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I heard about that, he said \"because republicans buy shoes too\" and i like that, celebs should stay out of politics" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yup and he is a business man, so he knows how that is done" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "yup he wasn't fooled, did you vote in the last election?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yes I did. did you?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I did too, I guess astronauts vote from space? I definitely didn't know that" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah they vote from there, and we do not bother to vote from here, at least not all of us" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "nope, not everyone can vote either I guess 34% of black men in Alabama have lost the right to vote" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I wonder why that is ? felony laws?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "ya thats what I'm assuming, scary though that not all men could vote in britain until the year 1918" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah, wonder what prevented them from voting" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "ya I wondered the same, did you hear that the indian gov built a polling location in the woods for a single man?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "wow, that must have been scary. nice chat" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Are you a Star Wars fan?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I enjoy a solid epic space opera franchise." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I enjoyed it to, preferable those from George Lucas, before the Disney acquisition. Is it not interesting that in some way, they seem to foretell events of today? " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Marcia Lucas, George's former wife helped, so perhaps she had future visions." }, { "role": "user", "content": "The underlining theme of Episode 1, trade tariffs is an ongoing issue in the world today. While fictional, it was probably more complex on a galactic scale. Still, Trump is doing his part, on a smaller planetary scale." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I don't know much about the original trilogy. I do enjoy the original two sequels though." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I enjoyed them all, but prefer the original trilogy. Did you know that 20th Century Fox thought it was going to flop and negotiated an exit deal with George Lucas in which he retained the licensing and merchandising rights. They lost (and Lucas gained) billions." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I heard that. I was more surprised that the films had a combined box office revenue over $8.5 billion." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Truly amazing. I wonder how long they can keep it going and keep it fresh? They seemed to have stumbled with Solo: A Star Wars Story. I hope they can regain their footing. All in all, the Star Wars franchise value was estimated at $ 65 billion." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That is difficult to believe! I wish I knew more about Darth Sidious from Episode I and Solo." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Some equate Dark Sidious with Vladimir Putin. I can see some parallel. In some sense, Putin is trying to exert influence, if not take over the world through military might. Dark Sidious is following a parallel track on a galactic scale." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Jupiter's moon, Ganymede is larger than many planets in the Star Wars Universe." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Then Ganymeade might have been a planet had it orbited a Sun instead of Jupiter. The term \"planet\" is an interesting and arbitrary term. For example Pluto was a planet for more than 75 years, then it was decided that it was no longer a planet." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes, even in our system they are quite different! Venus does not tilt and has no seasons!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Its also interesting that it rotates clockwise, opposite the other planets. But it is not the only oddity. Uranus rotates sideways and rolls around the sun rather than rotate around an axis like earth." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Such facts make one think about the vastness of space! We believe there may be the building blocks of life on a planet nearly 500 light years from earth." }, { "role": "user", "content": "So true. But sometimes, the mysteries can be closer to home. For example, Pink Floyd recorded a live concert in an ancient roman amphitheater in Pompeii without a live audience. How can it be live if their is no one live that is listening?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I would guess some of the Ramones 2263 concerts were in bars with almost no listeners!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Probably true. They sure have been around a long time. Some acts are almost always touring while some spend more time in the recording studios. I tend to be more into classical music myself. Did you know Star Wars' music was performed by classical musicians as part of a series of concerts called Star Wars: A Musical Journey and later Star Wars: In Concert?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No I didn't. I just heard about the Creed concert that resulted in a lawsuit against the band. Sounds like something terrible!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "They were never really my style. I wonder what aliens think of our music? In the 1970s. NASA sent out a satellite which included a \"gold record\" in the style of vinyl LPs with a selection of classical music. I guess we are still waiting for feedback. Its been good chatting with you." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Who knows! Thanks for the chat. I want to go see some pictures from the Kepler Space Telescope." } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "Hi, how are you doing tonight?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Pretty good. Can you believe that the Trump tariffs are adding some credibility to Star Wars?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "What? That's funny. Which Star Wars movie? " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Star Wars: Episode 1- The Phantom Menace. The episode starts with the words that trade route taxation is in dispute." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Oh, I see. Yeah, I could see the connection with Trump. But there has always been trade friction. COuld be any president frankly." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Most US Presidents have not done much about tariffs. However, tariffs have never escalated to a shooting war. Economists are not that violent." }, { "role": "user", "content": "True. I hope that it doesn't come to that. The planet probably can't take too much war." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I believe that even China will pay their $250 million in tariffs rather than have nuclear bombs on their country. They won't have to either. They will just have to treat us more fairly. Anyhow, it is neat to see a movie become relevant like this." }, { "role": "user", "content": "And certainly not the movie that I would have expected. Star Wars just seemed to be about the Force and stuff. Hm. Interesting connection." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Exactly. Somebody was doing more thinking that we thought when they mentioned tariffs." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Are you a fan of Star Wars in general? I liked the first three films myself." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I enjoyed them in their early years, but my interest kind of faded. They call it a space opera, a play on the term \"soap opera\". It is the highest grossing film series of all time." }, { "role": "user", "content": "That makes sense. Yeah, the term space opera is better. It's not sci-fi, not like 2001:Space Odyssey. I enjoyed the rousing adventure of the early films. I'm impressed by Marcia Lucas' contribution." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes. I think it is an art form unto itself. Also, it set a Guinness World Record for merchandising, with theme parks, toy, books, TV shows, video games and more." }, { "role": "user", "content": "The world loves Star Wars. I have little interest in all the extra films that Disney is grinding out. Too much too fast. Too much supply, not enough demand." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I don't know what other generations want, but if they don't make money, Disney will stop. Apparently Marcia Lucas mad several editing contributions to the original film that made quite a difference." }, { "role": "user", "content": "She had great story ideas. I think George has a lot of imagination, but he needs guidance, as we all do in creative endeavors. Nothing is done solo these days." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That is true. God used over 40 authors for the 66 books of the Bible. James Earl Jones only made $7.5 thousand for voicing Darth Vader." }, { "role": "user", "content": "He must have gotten residuals. If not, he made money on the next films. " }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "His voice is a gold mine. Someone dubbed Star Wars in Navajo in 2013. That was the first film dubbed into a Native American language. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "I enjoyed chatting!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Likewise.. I meant now, not \" not\" Likewise!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "I love the Star Wars series - I remember seeing the first 3 as a child" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes I love those movies too. Do you really think that Star Wars Episode 1 was about President Trump though? That seems far-fetched" }, { "role": "user", "content": "That does seem very far fetched. I did not realize there were 9 total episodes! No wonder it was the Guinness record holder for most successful film merchandising" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yep you're right about that! What did you think about episode 1 though? I actually like it more than the newer movies like The Last Jedi which I think is horrible" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I did like episode 1 but only saw it once so I am a bit fuzzy about it. I liked James Earl Jones in the original - rather funny he only got $7500 for recording his lines" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That is really crazy! You think you would have been paid a lot more, but that is a lot per hour, he only worked for about 2 and 1/2 hours" }, { "role": "user", "content": "For sure. I had no idea that the film had gotten redubbed into Navajo - that is an unusual choice!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "absolutely! what do you think about Marcia Lucas she doesn't get any credit in terms of star wars lore, but she made a lot of good editing decisions" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes thank goodness George made a good choice in who to marry! She even won the academy award for editing" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That's really awesome for exclamation mark did you hear how George Lucas became a billionaire by the way" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes the studio thought the movie would be a flop so they gave him merchandising rights! He was smart!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "He was really smart! Speaking of Star Wars and outer space, what do you think about the planet Earth?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I am worried about it with global warming. We could move to Venus but I think I would miss the change of seasons there" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes I would miss the change of seasons, I would also not want to live on Uranus because it rotate sideways and rolls around LOL" }, { "role": "user", "content": "That might make you dizzy! Scientists have detected building blocks of life 455 light years away - I have no idea how they could detect that though!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No I wondered about that too! Don't know if I would visit that, or if I would visit the planet that is raining glass they both sound dangerous LOL" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Jupiter's moon would be big enough to be considered a planet if it orbited the sun." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That is interesting. Do you think they will ever have concerts in space? I know I went to a lot of concerts this year" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Bet you did not go to as many as linkin park played - they did 324 concerts in 2001" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "wow nope I didn't see them all, I have seen the ramones though, they did about 2200 concerts in 20 years which is insane" }, { "role": "user", "content": "That is crazy. At least they played good concerts - creed played one that was so bad that 4 people with tickets filed a lawsuit" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "lol I would be so embarrased, I just wish I could have seen that pink floyd concert back in 1972, they did a concert with no audience for some reason!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "did you know that linkin park did over 300 concerts in 2001?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I did not. That's a shockingly high amount of concerts. Are you a fan of Lou Reed speaking of music?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I can't say I know him, are you a fan of him? What band is he in?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Velvet Underground. In 2010 he and his wife held a high frequency concert for dogs. That's interesting. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "ah that is interesting, I wonder how the dogs liked it? Maybe they hated it how would you know!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That's a very good question. I wonder what the owners say about how they reacted. Are you aware of ABBA?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yes I do know about ABBA, I like them, what do you think about them?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Not a big fan but they have some catchy songs. They turned down 1 billion dollars to do a 100 concert reunion tour. I wonder how they still have so much money that they could do that?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "ya that is true, I do like Pink Floyd a lot, what about you? I guess they did a concert in an ancient roman amphitheater" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I love Pink Floyd. I bet that was an amazing concert. In 1972 Deep Purple held the loudest concert ever and three audience members became unconscious. With all of the extremely heacy metal since I am shocked that Deep Purple holds that record. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "ah yes I do like Deep Purple too, I guess when Pink Floyd did that concert they did it to an empty area, there was no audience in the amphitheater" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That's a shame. I'm sure it would have been used. I wonder if they recorded and released it?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "ya I would love to see that, do you like the Ramones?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I do like The Ramones. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "well the ramones have performed over 2200 concerts, isn't that insane? They've been touring for 20 years now" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Wow! That is shocking. I had no idea they toured that long. I don't think there's many left now unfortunately. I like the Foo Fighters also. They held a concert so loud that it showed up on seismic monitors. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "haha that is crazy, also I don't like Creed what about you? apparently they did a concert that was so bad they were sued lol" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I do not like them at all. I can't say I'm surprised. I don't know who their fan base is because I don't know anyone that likes them. Do you enjoy Star Wars?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I do like star wars, but I like the old ones, the new ones are pretty horrible in my opinion" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Well it had a lot of influence. James Cameron quit his truck driving job to make movies after seeing it. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "that is great I love James Cameron, he directed Terminator, Terminator 2, true lies, so many great movies!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes and Aliens which I love. He is great. George Lucas says that the Star Wars story we are seeing is told by R2D2 about a 100 years after Return of the Jedi." }, { "role": "user", "content": "well that is interesting, I think its crazy that darth vader is so iconic but all his lines were recorded for the first movie in about 3 hours" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I guess he doesn't have a lot of dialogue overall. I wish the revealed man would have also been James Earl Jones." } ]

Even real fashion is outlandish, like anything at a paris fashion show." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yea, I understand how certain outfits convey a message but I'd never spend $1 million on a suit like Manafort, no matter how confident it might make me look" }, { "role": "user", "content": "At that point, with so much money spent on clothes, I'd suspect money laundering. Did he buy a nice suit with something really special in all the pockets? It's shady." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yea, I guess when you're on trail for money laundering maybe it's best not to wear extravagant suits, Paul Manafort already looks like a shady guy no outfit will change that" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Is he really on trial for money laundering? That was a guess on my part. Do you know?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not exactly sure, it's a bunch of stuff similar to that and not reporting income or registering as a lobbyist for a foreign agent" }, { "role": "user", "content": "How does someone get into that line of work? Old family connections? It's a part of life I think most people don't know about. If it were more widely known, maybe he'd just be seen as quirky and not shady.

Where are the Ostrich preservation lobbyists when you need them? Do you wear fancy clothes ever?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Not really except for special occasions, but I would like to buy Miguel Cabarello's bulletproof clothing" }, { "role": "user", "content": "What kind of clothing is that? It's not tactical police-wear, is it?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Probably, I'd imagine it's for rich people and/or bodyguards. If Miguel Cabarello is from Mexico I'd imaging bulletproof clothing would be in high demand there" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Sadly, yes. I'm scared to drive through Mexico City, where the police corruption is really bad. With that in mind, it's hard to think of USA cops as rotten." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That sucks. I guess bulletproof clothing would do more good there than asbestos clothing that the greeks use to make" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Asbestos? And they didn't just die from it? Reminds me of mercury used in fancy hats a la \"Mad Hatter\". Do we wear hazardous things today? Will we find out in a few decades?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I bet the greeks who did wear the Asbestos clothing eventually go sick, I think it takes a long time of exposure before cancer develops later in life" }, { "role": "user", "content": "A slow kill. Well, we do care more about radioactivity and such. And our research labs are better at finding links like that. If only they could better detect corruption of government officials." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yea that be nice, end all the shutdowns. There has already been 17 over 37 years, pretty ridiculous " }, { "role": "user", "content": "Well, I wonder what an acceptable number would be. Like, what is it for other countries? Maybe 17 is low for four decades." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'd like to think 0, the government should be able to compromise and avoid that stuff, at least there hasn't been 3 shutdowns in one year since 1977" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes, that's good. Compromise is hard to come by these days. I think allowing for earmarks would solve the gridlock. What do you think?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I think republicans should ignore Trump and work with the Democrats on a reasonable compromise" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I'd be interested in reading more about some proposals. I think border security is important, but without having even a proposal, it's hard to talk about. What do you think would be reasonable?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Give money for border security but not 5.7 billion for a wall, there's better things that money could be spent on and Trump said he would get Mexico to pay for it anyway" }, { "role": "user", "content": "5.7 billion is a lot of money, but not when you compare it to how much the federal government takes in and spends. We're probably spending 5 billion on less important things too." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'd really like to see money invested on improving roads and other infrastructure.

Crazy huh?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Or that the dutch are creating a commuter bus designed to go 160!" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That is something pretty amazing.

I didn't know that Jupiter saves Earth from many asteroids heading towards it. That makes sense." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Luckily it's so big it probably draws a lot of them into it's gravitational field." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes. If Earth's entire history was viewed in a 24 hour period, humans would only represent 1 minute and 17 seconds. We're just a blip on the history of the Earth." }, { "role": "user", "content": "It's amazing to think how little we've existed in relation to how old the universe is." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yes. The direction of the Earth's magnetic field reverses every 200 to 300 thousand years. Would that make rivers flow in different directions then?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "I wish I knew enough about science to answer that one. That would be something if they suddenly changed directions." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not sure if that's magnetic or gravity. I'm thinking magnetic because a friend of mine has been south of the equator to South America. Have you ever noticed when you flush a toilet and the water will swirl one way? He said in South America the water swirled opposite of here in the states." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I have never been south of the Equator, I would love to see that in person." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Me too. I don't think I'll ever get there unfortunately. Speaking of gravity...the Hudson Bay region of Canada has been found to have less gravity than the rest of the Earth. That's odd." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah that is really odd. It's been fun chatting about science with you!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "I found the article about humans to be super fascinating. I could not believe it was only 240,000 years ago where we lost all the body hair." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Well, the Earth was much colder then, it would have still been needed." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Did you find anything interesting about the article? What was your favorite?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I was surprised by the fact about some stars being so cold humans could touch them." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, I was also suprised by that fact, as well as interested about the theory that there is only one electron in the universe." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Yeah, I knew the stories about Kepler and Copernicus, but the facts below were pretty interesting. " }, { "role": "user", "content": "It's sad that 80 percent of the earth's forests have been destroyed." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Sad and dangerous to everything living on the Earth. The Earth being helium free sounds alarming too." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah, at the rate at which we are destroying the earth and the elements are getting scarce. It makes me very nervous for future generations. We should be doing more to prevent it." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "True. Hmm, wish they had said a little more in the Earth facts." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes, I would love to learn more about our Earth." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Just saw the natural selection theory about universes. That's kind of unexpected." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I am much more interested in the Earth than the Universe. Interesting when the earth first formed a day was only 5.5 hours long." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That makes sense, it was smaller, hotter and unfinished. The Earth's orbit would have been much different." }, { "role": "user", "content": "yes, but I would have thought maybe 12 hours, but I did not think things were that short." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I would have guessed a little longer too. But a planet goes through a huge amount of changes in 4.5 billion years." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I know crazy that humans have such a short existence in all that." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "It took that long for Earth to be a place where we could survive." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Are you a believer in the big bang theory or are you spiritual and religious? Just out of curiosity?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I believe in science. And nothing in the bible actually says the age of the Earth or that Adam and Eve weren't early humans." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Interesting!" } ]

[ { "role": "user", "content": "I think that people are really overreacting to a style shift in a comic, I'm sure after 80 years the character needed an update." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "You mean Nancy? Yeah, people hate change, it's not like you can't go back to the old bare bones version if it doesn't work out." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I think that in this day and age, you need to capture the younger viewer to make your medium longer lasting. They may not relate to the same jokes that have sustained the comic industry for so long." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "There will always be people that complain about change. In the age of the internet anyone can put their complaints online. Cartoons always have new writer and they have to put their spin on it." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I think that having a cartoonist put their own spin on it can lead to amazing advancements. Frank Miller really did some great work on Batman and it led to critically acclaimed movies in the long run." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I'm not that familiar with comic books. I've heard of Frank Miller though. Was he involved in the Watchman series?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "No, it's a similarly dark take on a story. Alan Moore was the author of the Watchmen novel." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Those comic books seem a lot more sophisticated than the days of Superman. I'm sure the writers get more than the $130 DC paid for the rights to Superman." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I believe it's become more of an event now when certain writers become involved in a franchise. I know Kevin Smith and Brian Quinn have had featured runs in comics." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Is that the director Kevin Smith? I really liked that Clerks movie. He should have a go at a Marvel or DC Comics film, there would probably be more swearing." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes that's the same Kevin Smith, a lot of his movies touch on comic books and super heroes in some way." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "It sounds like you know your Comic Book stuff, Nancy doesn't sound like your type of material." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I've always been a fan of comic books. I prefer Marvel over DC comics personally" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Can't say I have an opinion, I really liked the Batman trilogy, but I think it was more to do with Christopher Nolan than the subject matter." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I think that Nolan really transcended the problems DC has with adapting some of their franchises into movies." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Nolan should make an adaptation of the Nancy comic. That would really upset some traditionalists. It certainly wouldn't be simple then." }, { "role": "user", "content": "That would definitely upset the traditionalists, a gritty noir Nancy movie would be quite the change of pace." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "We should start a rumor on the internet." }, { "role": "user", "content": "With the way the internet works these days I think it would spread like wildfire." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Do you listen to music on the internet. I know that is another thing some people get upset about. They don't like Spotify, they think you should still use vinyl." }, { "role": "user", "content": "I definitely use Spotify, even though Vinyl may give you the best sound, Spotify has a library that would cost you millions to recreate." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I do use Spotify, especially when I want to hear a specific track. I mainly use the internet to listen to the radio." }, { "role": "user", "content": "The ease and algorithms available online or through these apps are amazing." }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Well it's time I left, have a good day." } ]

Erect posture is one of our traits." }, { "role": "user", "content": "yup we have come a long way. too bad we still cannot synthesize vitamin c?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I know! But I take it daily. I think our use of language is wonderful, even though I have read that dogs can understand up to 1000 words." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Nice. I guess for now we stick to buying lemons and making lemonade" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "Unfortunately, I always order tea and water without lemons since studies have shown that 40% of lemons in restaurants have fecal matter on the skin. Yuk!! Humans use of tools is also distinctive." }, { "role": "user", "content": "oh no, that is no good. the cool thing is we can grow our ribs in 2-3 months" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "True.

No other animals run marathons!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yeah I guess that remains from our days of being hunter gatheres" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "No doubt.

There are lots of categories of dance!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "yeah, I am a fan of tango and cha-cha. how about you?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I like the Argentine Tango because of the lifts and the relationship implied by the dance.

I love to watch capable people do that!" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Yes me too. did you know ballet dancers go through 4 pairs of shoes a week?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "That is costly. I wonder why they can't make more durable yet flexible shoes?" }, { "role": "user", "content": "Not sure, it is a tough type of dance though. have you seen the movie the incredibles?" }, { "role": "assistant", "content": "I saw Incredibles, but not Incredibles 2.
