During the Iran-Contra scandal, there was a man named Luther Moby who used to run brothels for the black ops CIA operatives performing illegal excursions to assist the rebel contras. Over time, the operatives trained Moby in spycraft and mortal combat, some witnesses going so far as to suggest he was one of the most natural martial artists they'd ever encountered. Not long after, he disappeared off the face of the map, assumed to have been killed or captured by Sandinista forces. That is, until he re-appeared as the star of the 1992 hit movie Under Siege under his new moniker, Steven Seagal.

If you write a ChatGPT prompt for a story, it'll include the proposed title for your story in the first paragraph. If you want it to look more like your work, take that out. Don't call your thread, "The Resistance: A 1950s Tale of Defiance" and then also keep that title as the opening line of your post. Gives the game away somewhat.

Yesterday I watched some videos about relativity, speed of light, why nothing can reach or go above that speed, why for things moving a lot fast time runs slower... so difficult topics, but those videos made me understand something more about it I wasn't getting, and it's amazing

There is a very specific frequency of whistle that when properly performed can unlock almost any technology. Phones, doors with number pads, computers, etc. You could infiltrate the highest security building in the world using just your mouth. It's one of the first things they teach you at spy school and is why spies are famously good at whistling.

The pyramids were originally constructed as squares but as time has gone the walls have faced so much erosion that they now appear pointed and sloping as opposed to flat and rigid. They were also built as apartment blocks but since no one wanted to live in a triangle, they were repurposed into tombs.

Cats and dogs evolved from a common ancestor and ancient phenotypes were discovered to have had wings and highly evolved vocal chords that could have feasibly mimicked human voices. The reason dogs bark and cats meow now is because somewhere down the line it wasn't evolutionarily worth it to continue to genetically maintain the biological expenditure it took to keep their voices, so one could conclude that ancient cats and dogs didn't really have anything to say to each other.

The Godfather. Citizen Kane. Casablance. Before these were movies, they were comic scripts penned by Spike Lee of Marvel fame, featuring the likes of Superman and Batman. They were adapted into 'moving pictures' (as they were called at the time) when a young, upcoming executive name Walt Disney (ever heard of him?) realized the potential this novel new media format had. The rest is history.

In the early 1900s a man named George Hockley was born with an extra finger and toe on each hand and foot respectively. This was hardly a disability for George and in fact his extra digits contributed to what some may call a superhuman level of agility, athleticism and dexterity. He excelled at baseball, basketball and football, and could've been a star at anything he chose to do. However, the reason he isn't a household name today is because the early 1900s were a different time, and his shocking, repulsive appearance caused people to fear and despise him. Most experts agree that if George Hockley hadn't been born ginger he could've been the best to ever to do it.

I read this morning (and out of a sense of duty to fun I have not investigated this) that the entire state of Wyoming has only two escalators in it. Incredible news if true. This has somehow made me more interested in Wyoming. No one could have predicted this.
