174 - I'm a Slave 4 Endorphins

We take a brisk tour through various current AI implications. A "free" 55-inch flat screen TV that merely wants to turn your living room into a advert-hellscape. A possibly inebriated driver switches seats with his dog, the officer in question may never notice the oddness of this. In Portugal, canine lifespan records, shattered. Some annoying person ate a piece of art made by another possibly even more annoying person. 500 pounds of pasta mysteriously left alongside a stream in New Jersey. Another 500 pounds of pasta may well be running for President of the Republic. Ronald Dion DeSantis audibly reveals his micro-penis to a Twitter crowd of 700,000—only 300,000 stay afterward. We give positive cover to two "Florida Men," shattering stale stereotypes. Various people intentionally and extremely isolate themselves, independently, for science.  Did a man really collapse his skull and remain alive due to an addiction to energy drinks?  Heroes all around us and also a villain who jostled open the door of an airborne passenger plane. Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9PrYSupport: patreon.com/heatdeathpod + buzzsprout.com/heatdeathoftheuniverseNever Forget: standwithdanielhale.orgGeneral RecommendationsJason's Recommendations: 1)  The Last Kingdom 2) Vinland SagaJosh's Recommendations: 1) Emily is a Criminal 2) Modest Mouse Discography from This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About (1996) to  Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks (2001)Further Reading, Viewing, ListeningFull list of links, sources, etcLocationless Locationsheatdeathpod.comEvery show-related link is corralled and available here.Twitter: @heatdeathpodPlease send all Letters of Derision, Indifference, Inquiry, Mild Elation, et cetera to: [email protected] us Fan MailSupport the showSupport: patreon / buzzsprout
