Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story? That's Erica. She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three. Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most. Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell. You can find more of her work at www.EricaFazio.com

It's the middle of 2022 and the New York Times has just published a piece touting the joys of "A Swift and Easy Way to Heat Water Without using a Stove."

It's an electric kettle. That's it. That's the big discovery.

Tea kettles.

Did you just mentally picture every Brit in the world smugly chuckling like:

"*gasp* Well hello, if it isn't the Americans finally catching up with civilization! See what happens when you throw all your tea into the harbor?"

... because yeah that's pretty much what happened.

The article got roasted so hard, in fact, that the publication has since changed the headline. Right now the headline indicates that the article will be a review of multiple electric kettles, but what initially went up sold the article differently.

The article was originally published June 24 with the headline:

"A Swift and Easy Way to Heat Water Without using a Stove"

and the subheader:

"Consider the electric kettle. Many models will even let you set a precise temperature - key for getting the best flavour from coffee and tea."

Twitter treated the article like a coffee bean and set it's precise temperature to "roast."






Perhaps unsurprisingly, because electric kettles aren't exactly new technology, there were just as many Americans chiming in on how ridiculous this all was.





Lots of Americans know what a kettle is and use one regularly.

Lots of Americans even know what an electric kettle is.

Lots of Americans use their electric kettles just as regularly as Brits or anyone else.

... and then there's this brave soul willing to put their truth out there for us to judge.

Moment of honesty, readers: Do you think the original headline was silly? Or are electric kettles really a magical new discovery for you?

Giant AI-Generated Christmas Mural Removed After People Notice Some Truly Unhinged Details

Though many of us are worried about the prevalence of AI and its potential to take away the jobs of professional writers, artists, and designers, one truly haunted Christmas mural proves that AI is not ready to take on the responsibility just yet.

Ample theories are available for how this unhinged mural came to be, but a favorite is that an upper executive didn't want to approve an art budget for this year's mural and suggested AI instead, so a designer planned the worst option possible. Or someone turned immediately to AI, barely checked their work, and just hit the "approve" button.

People who have not performed in front of a live audience might assume that adequate rehearsal time and production planning ensure things will go smoothly.

But seasoned performers will tell you that mistakes happen, no matter how well-rehearsed or fine-tuned the project is. When the mistake is obvious enough that the audience becomes aware of it, the best thing to do is laugh it off or incorporate the mistake into the program as much as possible to keep the show going.

Pete Hegseth Gets Blunt Reminder After Claiming That AI Is The 'Future Of American Warfare'

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized after he announced in a new video that the U.S. military is going to be integrating artificial intelligence to make soldiers "more lethal than ever before," a move that has been described as "one of the first mass deployments of a commercially-created generative AI tool across the entire Pentagon."

The Defense Department announced Tuesday that it will roll out Gemini for Government via its new GenAI.mil platform, allowing employees to access the tool directly from their work computers.
