the reason why normies like AI is because it lets them disclaim responsibility

it's like "i'm just following orders" but for civillians who aren't employed by the state

i spotted a herbal tea at the shop today labeled "Funcho" and i was like, ooh, what is this, i wonder if it has anything to do with the name of the capital of #madeira #funchal

the girl at the shop seemed to think not, but then, my old taxi driver neighbour last name Silva didn't think that Silva had anything to do with trees

this region, Sao Vicente, is known for its Laurel trees, which are called "Larressilva" so i think that a grown man who is in his early 30s doesn't know his family name relates to forests, probably the 20 something girl doesn't know that funchal is named something to do with the herb fennel, which is sweet a lot like licqorice

fennel is quite famous in greek history for being said to give courage to warriors, and it has been found that its oils are insecticides

soooo

sweet, and probably antiparasitic, as what kills crawlies often also kills wormies (which are a class of animals themselves as well as being the infant form of most insects)

i'm going to make me some tea and drink some today
