Re: Real-Life Weirdness
The description makes it sound more like a distance "stickiness" which I suppose is a way to describe gravity after initially "falling" out of a B.E. condensate which is kind of a way of describing anti-gravity. But not really how a hypothetical negative mass would behave, as far as my woefully shaky understanding goes.

8-year old drives his sister to McDonald's to get a cheeseburger.

Re: Real-Life Weirdness
Google Translate writes surrealist poetry if it doesn't understand you.
In this piece, it writes black-metal music lyrics for H.P. Lovecraft fans. In this piece, it has an existential crisis over its' fundamental lack of humanity.
