President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho did seem more entertaining at least then the circus we’ve had for the last few years. At least we can look forward to that?
Plus Ow! My balls! Does seem like some good tv.
He was a great president. Saw a problem, admitted his ignorance to it, and hired the smartest person he could find to fix it.
Our timeline is far worse.
A benevolent idiot is better than a malicious ignorant.
True, but 
, is 1 out of 6 that great in selecting?
They can't all be like the attorney general.

Quora
well, there is the problem
Festering pit of misinformation it is. And yes, they’ll ban you for calling it out or correcting the record.

You can melt anything. An egg will burn first. Then you will get some type of rendered carbon ash. Which will, eventually, melt and/or vaporize with enough heat.
I would argue that it's no longer 'egg' once it's carbon ash and therefore never melted before it's existence ended.
Which came first, the egg or the time dilation of carbon atoms?
Melting is a physical process that changes the form and aggregation state of a thing, but it still remains that thing. Melted gold is still gold, for example.
Burning on the other hand is a chemical process that leads to new "things". The egg isn't longer an egg.

Well, for eggs, that are carbon based, you will in fact have problems since carbon doesn't have a liquid state at regular atmospheric pressure. I guess you can add pressure, but is that really what we mean when asking a question if something melt?

Eggs are primarily comprised of colloidal suspension.
Colloids cannot melt, as they are not in a solid phase
Which raises an interesting question: what if you cooked it in a zero oxygen environment (say argon, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide... basically welding gases because they're mostly inert). I can't burn in that context, so does it melt? Or do you drive off all the volatiles and are just left with carbon anyway?

But then you're melting carbon ash and not eggs.
In an inert atmosphere under enough pressure pretty much anything can melt without burning.

well it's referencing this article now
Somebody needs to write an article about that article that states the opposite
Take frozen egg. Melt. Repeat as needed.
Thawing isn’t always melting.
can't wait till more LLMs and content generators get trained on this garbage data and repeat it all over the internet ad inifinitum.
Truly the best future.
Even when Quora isn't being ruined with AI, it's flooded with Neo-Nazis that are self-proclaimed historians.
Wtf kind of quora are you reading to find neo Nazi shit? I just find people shilling crypto and bad tech advice.
I read a lot of world war two history, so search engines naturally shove such parts of Quora at me. Some are more subtle about being Neo-Nazis, but are defintely pushing the agenda.

Egg shells melt at 825°C. Saved you a click.
So it's true, you can melt eggs
No, only the shells.
Tell me Easter eggs aren't eggs, motherfucker! Just go ahead and tell me that!
Doesn't everything technically have a melting point?
No, carbon, among lot's of materials, goes directly into sublimation stage. It has no liquid form.
Yes but we generally don't want AI to answer questions like evil genies.
AI was gifted to us as a wish granted by a Monkey's Paw. It can answer all of life's questions... but incorrectly.
Honestly the best analogy for AI I've seen.
Had a friend open a conversation line by referencing something on Quora and I immediately tuned out. Quora is a wealth of nonsense.
I do sometimes “provide feedback” on terrible featured snippets, but goddamn does it feel like shouting into a void.

Make the internet a little less shit
You can find some blacklist subs on GitHub too if you want to blanket filter out a lot of the other shit (like alternative.to and other bulk targeted result sites)
You can freeze an egg and you can melting it again by putting it in a stove or microwave or just anything with temps above 0° C. Context matters and that human seems to blindly assume one specific context.
It's kind of ridiculous how we went from AI being mostly scifi and DeepDream, to every journalist expecting that AI has to be 100% correct all the time and be able to answer all the questions correctly. Of course AI will make mistakes when it was trained on incorrect data, that happens, that's what humans do all the time. AI stands for artificial intelligence, not magic.
