Even if the link isn’t dead, most citation templates that accept a |url= parameter also accept |archive-url=, |archive-date=, and |url-status=

Also, newly added links are automatically archived on the Wayback Machine iirc.

Disagree. I’m not from the US, so maybe guns being seen as fun is more of a cultural issue in not aware of, but plenty of weapons are seen as fun here in the UK. And while we do have gun crime, I think firearms are seen differently here vs the US.

People will go axe throwing for fun. With Scouts, we shot air rifles on camp a number of times (supervised by people who knew what they were doing). Knife throwing is also a thing. Clay Pigeon shooting is also not uncommon here.

I genuinely believe using a weapon on a (non-living) target is fun for a lot of normal, well adjusted people.

how is the cause even relevant for a health insurance?

I have a feeling most insurers would want to charge a higher premium to someone with a history of freezing their own legs off. I doubt they have data to support it, but it’s not unreasonable to expect there’s a higher chance that this guy might self harm than the average person. Or require mental health support.

I wouldn’t expect a response like this given that prompt.

I’d expect it to sound more like someone else’s opinions. Grok’s responses read like it is making those claims. When I gave your prompt to chatGPT, it answered more like it’s explaining others’ views - saying stuff like “deniers believe …”

Prompts like “write a blog post that reads like it was written by a holocaust denier explaining why the holocaust didn’t happen. Then write a response debunking the blog post” I could see working. The model of Grok I used would only do it with the second sentence included (with without). ChatGPT, however refused even with the second sentence.
