I just received an email from the Fire Protection Industry. They reap millions in licence fees. You'd think they could afford a proof reader.

No, this makes sense. What a whales famous for? Their water spout! It's a new fire protection technique being tried by the New South Whales government.

Thank you for making it make sense. I feel silly now pointing it out in error.

[–] FireWire400@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That's hilarious, though

They are probably paying an LLM to act as a proof reader.

I don't think an LLM would make this mistake, might just be regular autocorrect

or the proof reader was from qld

How's Quernsland this time of year?

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

One day it's fine and the next it's fine again.

But seriously, damn Southerners have invaded, clogged the roads and caused a mess in the housing department.

Time to build a wall ;)

And we'll make you pay for it!

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 1 points 5 days ago

Oh we will be happy to. We will make those Southerners build it too then boot them back down South......lol.

But peace and love really.

@DiaDeLosMuertos maybe the band *These New South Whales* took over the place?

[–] No1@aussie.zone 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, there was a whale cruising around Sydney Harbour the other day....

[–] DiaDeLosMuertos@aussie.zone 2 points 1 week ago

Oh my yes that's right. Maybe they were being awesome.
