This type of humor is paramount.
Imagine a bunch of random and different birds in one flock…
Most have been true at some point. They all (most) have a reference to something that once made perfect sense.
For example: Pot calling the kettle black. Most kettles were black at one era in time. Now they can be different colors.
But here are some [more] modern ones:
‘A 90s one: all that and a bag of chips’ a slang saying originating in the nineties. however it can be classified as “true” since many people would get a free bag of chips with their meal and it was “sweet” or “cool” to get that hence someone who is all that and a bag of chips is “cool” or “sweet” in the sense that “sweet” is also a synonym for cool. The true origins being popularized by Public Enemy as a ‘way to describe meals that black people used to eat’ (Professor Griff
‘The internet is dead’ said when we get the nostalgic shock of an era no longer the golden age of internet. And it is true, many things that were great about old internet are now gone or modernized into a streamlined mess of paywalls and adblock-blockers. This one was explained to me at one point on YouTube.
They are called idioms in a sense because some of us can’t help but feel uneducated when we cannot figure out what they mean or why that phrase would come to mean what it does. But it sure does make the past a bit more interesting. This last part is just a joke. I once heard a doctor explain what idiopathic meant to him as he stated “he feels like an idiot because he cannot find the out what the cause of something was” But Idiom means a phrase unique to language.

I think my life is stochastic enough. I need more predictability.
No, I punched walls when I was a kid for fun anger. But it is understandable for a young person to be rebellious and malicious as we almost all were. There are different levels. the main thing is looking back and realizing it was wrong and wanting to change. There are no bad people in this world, there are just people who do bad things.
No, it means you are responsible enough to look back and realize what you want to change in life. A bad person wouldn’t understand that they did anything wrong. Also, we’ve all did mischievous things when we were young .
I gotta get a pixel
Yea, I can’t believe it is happening to so many people. I got so many loan calls today it is not even funny
I once asked ChatGPT how it (AI) works. It gave me the tools needed to get the right results. There were books on prompt engineering free online. But I decided after reading them that it was easier to have AI teach me to use AI…better. that’s the LLMs. On the other hand for image generation, it takes persistence and priority. If the prompt is too complicated, it will do its own thing. If it is too simple, it will do its own thing. After a lot of practice getting to know how it outputs images you will find the right, or close results. Emphasis on close. Leonardo.ai is my favorite.
Edit: if you don’t believe you are creative enough, prone the LLM for ideas. Ask it to make the prompt. They are finnicky
I used it to teach me app script and it was 90 percent accurate
Have they given you anything creative that was good. I also, used it to make a meal plan and make a work schedule as an Excel doc, then it just needed a few edits.
They help me make better searches. I use ChatGPT to get a good idea of what better to search for based on my inquiry. It tells me what I am looking for, and then just use a search engine based on that.
Also, taught me some python and appscript. Currently learning and testing its capabilities in JavaScript teaching. And, yes I test out everything it gives me. It is best to output small blocks of code and lice it together. Hoping for the best and then, 3 years later finally create an app lol because that is on my end. Still working on an organization app. 80 percent accurate on following complete directions in this case.
Thank you. I wish I knew French. The food looks so good.
Glad you like it. Post what snacks you bought or post what you made there.

It was a better name than ‘creative potpourri’ which is what I thought of first before deciding on this. But you can share your casserole recipes there because they sound creative enough.
You’re welcome.
Thank you for pointing that out. Do you know any modern idioms? I couldn’t remember any but sayings. I was looking up sayings but a synonym is idioms though they are not perfect synonyms. That last part was just a joke. Mind the lack of “/s”. I do apologize for my “mistakes”. However OP asked about sayings and those “terms” classify as such. I could not find any modern idioms so I went with sayings as per OP’s request. Yet I have recognized the difference, I apologize secondly for not explaining myself clearer. As for the meanings, that is what is colloquial in my experience and that is how they are used sometimes, rather than just the origin, which I could have added in there. I apologize for not adding the true origins as I was going off of straight knowledge and experience using them and hearing them used. Sayings, like words can evolve over time. Thank you again for the observations.
