Every so often I have moments like this where I encounter actual adults out in the wild and am reminded that I am just masquerading, and poorly.

    I recently found a new shower cleaner that actually works for the first time, and it cleaned the heavy deposits from my weird local water on my tub in less than five minutes, which normally takes me half and hour or more of scrubbing.

    I felt like a superior adult, started sharing the news with all of my fellow grown up children. Maybe some day I’ll identify a funny noise in my car as well and earn my real adult degree.

    For those of us adulting along at home, could you tell us the name of the product you used for the shower?

    Made by a company called EcoLab, legitimately made me happy for days every time I saw my tub and remembered it was actually clean.

    Please share, if my water was any harder rocks would come out of the tap.

    I have the same issue. For your toilet, get some bar keepers friend liquid toilet cleaner. Shits magic.

    I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.

    I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.

    If you've ever watched or read anything with that "wise old hermit" that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can't function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.

    Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.

    Important to note:

    LLMs absolutely do not use logic.

    Hehe, I just meant the collecting and redistributing knowledge part. Though yes, it also doesn't qualify as knowledge, just a string of words that seems like it fits the occasion. Though.... not to sell myself short, but not super far off.
