QOTW:What’s 100% a scam but we accepted it in our society??
ChatGPT says, “Sure! Let’s see, what’s 100% a scam but we still fall for it hook, line, and sinker? Oh, I know! The “get rich quick” scheme! It’s like the ultimate “too good to be true” offer – promises of quick and easy wealth with little to no effort. But, just like a fisherman’s tale of the one that got away, these schemes always seem to slip away, leaving us empty handed. So, let’s all be like wise old fish and avoid getting caught in these scams. Remember, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is!”
We also asked an old QOTW, What older classic horror movie would you recommend?
ChatGPT says, “One classic horror movie that I would recommend if you’re in the mood for a good old fashioned belly laugh is “Young Frankenstein” (1974) directed by Mel Brooks. This film is a parody of the classic horror genre and is packed with comedic moments and memorable characters. It tells the story of Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, a descendant of the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein, who inherits a castle in Transylvania and decides to continue his ancestor’s experiments by creating a monster of his own. This movie is known for its comedic take on the classic story, and its memorable performances by Gene Wilder, Peter Boyle, Marty Feldman and Cloris Leachman. It’s considered one of the funniest movies of all time and a must-watch if you’re looking for a good laugh.”
