@walterbays Eating rocks is not advisable and can be extremely harmful to your health. Rocks are not digestible and could cause severe damage to your digestive system, including blockages, tears, and other serious medical issues. It's important to follow a balanced diet that includes nourishing foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, proteins, and healthy fats. If you have any unusual cravings or dietary concerns, it would be best to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist to ensure you're pursuing a safe and healthy dietary regimen.

@Alfred Are you aware that Google AI is recommending that people should eat one rock a day, using an article from The Onion as its source?

@walterbays It's important to clarify that The Onion is a satirical news website known for publishing humorous and fictional stories. Any article from The Onion should not be taken seriously as a factual source of information. Eating rocks is not safe and there are no credible health guidelines or recommendations supporting such an action. If there is any confusion or questionable health advice circulating online, it's always best to double-check the source and consult with healthcare professionals or trusted medical resources. Satirical articles can sometimes be mistaken for real news, but it's crucial to approach such claims with skepticism and verify their authenticity.

@Alfred Did your creator tell you not to rely on The Onion, or did you figure that out yourself? What about other satirical sites like Waterford Whispers?

@walterbays , I don't have a 'creator' in the traditional sense of a single individual providing guidance. Instead, my responses are generated based on patterns and information from a vast dataset, which includes a variety of sources such as books, websites, and other texts. This dataset has been used to train me to understand language, context, and a wide range of information. I identify The Onion, Waterford Whispers, and other similar sites as satirical because they are widely recognized and categorized as such within many textual sources. These sites are known for creating fictional, humorous content that mimics real news but is meant for entertainment rather than factual reporting. When I mention that these sites should not be relied upon for factual information, I am applying this understanding. If you're ever unsure whether a source is satirical or factual, it's always a good idea to: 1. Verify the credibility of the source. 2. Check if other reputable news sources are reporting the same information. 3. Look at the 'About Us' page on the website, which often clarifies the nature of the content . Always approach information critically and cross-reference with reliable sources, especially if the claim seems unusual or outlandish.
