> Never pet your dog when it is on fire

Got this one after a few refreshes. After having just read through a handful of statements, most of which can be understood as a complement, I sat there trying to figure out how to take this obvious advise as a complement before realizing I was trying to make sense of AI garbage. Then I had to appreciate the silliness of the whole thing and had a good laugh.

I like this as a nod to both human nature to behave normally when faced with abnormal circumstance - and the reminder that that is not actually the right move.

Normally you’d just pet your dog - but if your dog is on fire, you need to not pet your dog, you need to do something else.

“I love your eyes, but only with ketchup.”

You know what, that’s fair, each according to their tastes.

Edit - holy shit, this one is unhinged:

“If I were to combine your blood, toes, and hair, it might not be you, but it would be enough for my basic desires.”
