I know that some people associate sex with food, but I’m not convinced raisins and muffs really go together all that well. Although a fashionably accessorized muff is always nice to see. And feel. 😁 :leer: ---

Speaking of cyberf\*\*\*, I have an unrelated anecdote. I recently asked Bing Chat to make up a fake news article about a person who misunderstood what “Cyber Monday” meant, obviously trying to bait it into writing about the NSFW use of “cyber”. It made up a _mostly_ coherent story about a man called Cyber Dave who thought that Cyber Monday was about Cyberpunk. The only part that was obviously not written by an _actual_ satirical news writer was the part where Cyber Dave complained that he went to the mall all decked out in his cyberpunk gear, and there _were_ a lot of people at the mall, but they were all shopping on their tablets and phones. ---
