Having to wear adult diapers after giving birth is not unexpected.

Similar reaction. After reading the previous piece, https://rogerdickey.com/in-defense-of-996/, I am left wondering if this is just a very clever bot.

here's how this likely went down: 1. they found the dataset and thought "i bet there are weird order combos i could write a blog post about" 2. they did all the analysis and found nothing all that interesting 3. posted it anyway
They did it interactively with Claude, it’s possible that it played up the significance and humor of the findings in a way that the interaction left the user feeling like they were really on to something.
That's the smoking gun.

> Why is it funny to buy Oreo and lube?
It implies SEX but without saying it out loud, haha, so funny, am I rite my fellow 16 year olds?
> Why would someone buying kale and an enema make someone else laugh out loud?
You don't get it, it's about the ASS. So funny!
Some people just remain adolescents.

#77Time for me to re-post my perennial "fun banana facts" post: Bananas are the #1 most-sold item at most grocery stores including, notably, Wal-Mart. Bananas also have the highest standard deviation in terms of predicting if a given (known) consumer will purchase bananas in a given store run. (At least as compared to other food products and consumables.) When predicting a consumer's shop, it's generally pretty easy to…
This comment is WAY more interesting than the article it is a comment on.

Berries are most certainly not seasonal anymore. They should be but we thoroughly engineered the seasonality out of them. They're always on the shelf. Do people's purchase habits follow the natural seasonality of the product anymore? Probably something that can be found in this dataset as well.
Depends where you are. I am in Southern England. Strawberries are available year round - we get them from Morocco and Spain outside the summer. They do taste differently and during the off season are less reliably red all over. Thus I will buy them only in the Summer. Prices also change over the year.
I don't get snobby about food very often, but I have to say that these days strawberries and tomatoes are things I never buy any more.
They're so large, watery, and tasteless, that I grow them myself or go without.
A lot of foods are no longer seasonal, as noted above, but I can't say I can taste the difference. Except for tomatoes and strawberries where I think I can - who knows, maybe I'm imagining it?

scanned through pretty much the entire post. Still waiting for the funny part.
