  • Had this happen this week at a Tesco Express. The only guy on the register had to call someone out from the back to remove the double-scanned Irn-Bru.

    What made it extra awkward was that the staff door was directly down the aisle from the self-checkout, so I could see the employee marching down the aisle so they could deal with this shit and get back to whatever they were doing. I want those 2 minutes of my life back.


  • I went on Grokipedia once, months after launch out of curiosity. I found an error in the first article I looked at (the city that I live in). It was in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the History section.

    It conflated erroneously King William the Lion of Alba and King William the Conqueror of England. They weren’t even alive in the same century.

    I can absolutely follow the logic of how Grok would make the error. Both Kings, both William, both the first of their name in their respective kingdoms, both notable and significant in their own right, but definitely not the same person.
