aneous sip, and it happens now. Oh, I feel sorry for the resistors. You know, I hear that there are some people... I tried to talk before I was done swallowing. I'm a pig. I hear that some people are trying to resist the simultaneous sip because you don't want to feel like you've been manipulated. Well, you also miss the thrill of being connected to thousands of people

around the world at the same time. So, you know, I guess you can pick your fate.

Allegedly in science, according to wonderful engineering scientists, they have created light from empty space by manipulating time and space. Or the other possibility is that it's total bullshit and nobody created any light whatsoever. I look at a story like that and I just think, really? Really? Did they make light out of time and space? Did that really happen? I don't know. It might have, but I'm going to say you're going to need a little bit more evidence before I say yes to that.

Meanwhile, in something way more fun, there's a company called CudaJet that makes an underwater jetpack. It looks like it's obviously electric, and you strap it to your back and you can just go like hell underwater and at the surface. And I said to myself, this looks really fun. It looks really, really fun. So I could easily imagine myself seeing lots of people doing that. I was going to say me doing it, but you know, it's not like I'm going to scuba either. So I don't think I'll be doing it. But it looks like fun. It can last 90 minutes, which is probably the hard part, having the battery last long enough, and it can recharge in 75 minutes. And you can feel like you're Aquaman and Superman at the same time.

In important New York Post news, allegedly the average penis size has increased and Ozempic could be to blame. So anecdotally but not scientifically yet, anecdotally people are reporting that their penises are larger when they're on Ozempic and losing weight. Now, may I address the NPCs directly? NPCs, what you should say is the most obvious thing. What's the most obvious thing you would say? Oh, it's not any bigger. It's just that you can see it now. That's the most obvious thing you can say. So if you were already typing that, sorry, you're an NPC. You're not programmed for creativity. You're programmed for the most obvious things. So sorry about that.

When I see a story like this, I have to wonder, do you think the PR department at Ozempic could possibly be behind this story? Now, not that they made up the story out of nothing. It could be that there were reports, actual reports, but they were anecdotal so it didn't really mean anything. But if you were the PR department and you had this potential story, do you think you would call up the New York Post and say, "How would you like an exclusive story about how penises get bigger when you take Ozempic?" Now, if the PR department at Ozempic did not do that, I think they all need to be fired because I can't think of a way to sell more Ozempic than that. I mean, the weight loss is good, but it doesn't really come close to the other thing.

Meanwhile, Apple has got a big event today, and the general feeling is that we're all going to be disappointed and that whatever they say about AI, for example, is going to be underwhelming. My understanding is, I didn't see it personally, but my understanding is that Apple has recently made some negative comments about AI in general, which would suggest that they don't think it's either good enough or ready enough to be in their products. Now, my guess is that they tried really, really hard to build AI into their products as prototypes just to see what they could do, and that they couldn't get past the hallucinations. If you can't get past the hallucinations and you can't make it go get you information, there's not much you can do. Except it's really good at... I'll tell you, my Apple phone, the fact that it understands me when I talk to it, which it did not a year ago, is a really big deal. I mean, because I do talk to it a lot, but just setting alarms and stuff. Anyway, so we'll see if Apple excites us or disappoints us.

Here is the least surprising story of all time. Apparently there's new informatio

n that came out that the CIA was behind starting the stories that Area 51 had some UFOs because it turns out they were just trying to have a cover story for the fact that there were some advanced aircraft that they were working on and they didn't want people to think it was our stuff. Now, how many of you assumed that was true? Because I remember I was reading the story and I said to myself, doesn…
