There are probably a couple of them who would be envious that they didn’t have the opportunity while they were alive. (Not a defense of AI girlfriends, just a joke and semi-relevant meme)

A lot of people have commented on how Ben Franklin would love porn, trans women, modern voluntary sterilization, etc., but I'm just gonna come out with a hot take: Ben Franklin would fucking love cocaine. Really all modern stimulants. If there's a heaven he's up there doing lines off some chick's dick discussing her PhD dissertation. This is a man who would be fucking pissed that the nation he helped found has created Adderall shortages by restricting supplies. He'd demand healthcare be in the bill of rights for that reason alone.

If you brought Ben Franklin into the modern world you'd lose him within a couple hours then find him again in Goodsprings NV hungover and missing his pants.

Edit: If you read NV as New Vegas and not Nevada you need to turn off the 500+ modded semi corrupt New Vegas install and go read Blood Meridian or something.

You can pry my 500+ modded semi corrupt TTW install from my cold, dead paws.

He also might break down crying at the fact that we eliminated smallpox. He did the variolation thing, but his son didn't and he died of smallpox. Franklin deeply regretted not having him do it.

Then tell him that there's a whole movement of people who sees the tech that eliminated smallpox as a bad thing. That's where he's going to get deeply disappointed with us.

Was he into stimulants, too!?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The stimulants available to a north American of his time were wildly popular at the time in the british colonies and it's difficult to imagine him not partaking in either of them. Thst said, they were coffee and tea, both of which remain legal here to this day, and we even scrapped the extra tax on tea.

Franklin died in 1790. Cocaine was first isolated in 1859 and it looks like coca wasn't really available in the global north until around that time. That said, upon the arrival of cocaine, the USA put that shit in everything. We loved the stuff

[–] Pieisawesome@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Tobacco products were also very popular. Snuff being popular among rich people.

Coca was used as a drug (documented) in 1568.

Additionally laudanum and opium we’re also popular, but they aren’t stimulants afaik.

Madison Cawthorn? The gun-toting sex-pest who got caught driving without a license Madison Cawthorn?!

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

The same one who claimed he was invited to cocaine fueled Republican orgies.

After that claim his political career tanked. I don't know why.

I'm sending her money so she can meet me at the airport tomorrow! She's fleeing...!

[–] Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Good friend. It's me, her acquantince she mentioned once. She asked me to reach out that ran into trouble and needs $2000 sent to this crypto address 4837DDJFRJFHDH34SDTODUVJS in the next 12 hours or she's going to die and you'll be arrested and I'll need $5k to that address to protect you.

How the fuck do people do it? Like is there something else more wrong with me?

It says it's AI. It reads like an AI. I'm desperately lonely too, but it doesn't remotely come close to even a hint of being a real person.

Maybe it's the user interface? The constant awareness of the AI girlfriend URL?

[–] stoicmaverick@lemmy.world 16 points 3 days ago

When I play videogames, I know I'm not ACTUALLY driving a racecar, but I still have fun.

[–] DarkSpectrum@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I think it has something to do with the person needing something other than a human relationship. Its like those lifesize dolls that some guys are into. They meet needs that are different to a human relationship.

Don't know if it's better or worse than me jacking off for 4 hours. Regardless my ancestors would probably fully understand. They'd still be disappointed for a myriad of reason.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I do look like a caveman, in a big foots cousin sorta way.

[–] SuspiciousCatThing@pawb.social 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

AI girlfriends are good for helping with that.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They absolutely wouldn't be, I'm aromantic hypersexual. I don't need thine petty emotions for such acts. Also I won't lower myself to the level of speaking to the inbred cousins of Bonzi buddy.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think if you've got to the point where you are even vaguely considering the idea of using one of these AI for personal gratification you are already fairly far down the rabbit hole and probably beyond the point of saving.

Even with someone with a barely standard sex drive the concept just isn't appealing. Even if it was a real person the constant praise would just seem condescending and unearned after a while. In the end it would probably make you paranoid you or we're some way a joke, and everyone but you gets it.

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yup, also I find these AI to be instinctually unsettling. Folks around where I am are pretty harsh even with kith or kin so the fact that the AI also love bombs reminds me of the various cults in my region. As my great grandfather once told me "If they constantly have a smile they ain't smiling".

How does one jack for 4 hours?

Autism and being descended from some very horny people.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

He is the Goonmaster. The chosen one, prophesized by the ancients, to save us from a dark evil. By his hand, he will lead us into salvation. Praise be /u/vaultdweller013! May his sword remain strong, and his hand firm, for dark days be ahead of us.

It'd be interesting to watch said AI girlfriend leaving you and taking your apartment.

[–] bigchungus@piefed.blahaj.zone 27 points 4 days ago

If you were the result of your bloodline, they would not be watching from heaven.

[–] yesman@lemmy.world 21 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The concept of a bloodline is incoherent.

Since the number of direct ancestors doubles every generation you go back, individual lineage is closer to a bowl of spaghetti than a family tree.

Every generation you go back, you share less and less genetic markers. You share exactly 50% of your DNA with each parent, about 25% with each grandparent etc. Eventually you'll find a direct ancestor with whom you share no DNA markers. It's 12 generations back, on average.

So, go back a few hundred years, and you're not genetically related to anybody. Go back a thousand, and everyone's list of ancestors is indistinguishable.

...So you're saying it's OK to fuck my cousin

[–] Capricorn_Geriatric@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Depends on how far removed the cousin is. Literally.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago

Nice, she moved like 1,000 miles away, so it's SO on next family reunion!

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 12 points 4 days ago

If he's okay with it, I don't see any issues.

That's assuming you have a family tree and not a family column.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago (2 children)

99.5% of your bloodline probably thinks this is a great idea and is excited to meet your kids.
