La Bene Vita

I Asked Google Gemini For a More Current Metaphor

I asked Google Gemini:

Are there any gadgets, tools or toys popular now that might be a more currently relevant metaphor than diving into a pool full of thumbtacks or razor blades

Here are the suggestions. They're so delightful that I just had to share. Feel free to use them (see previous post "Can I Copyright My Work If I Use AI?"  for more info.)

Diving into a pool of spam bots.
Hitting the 'Like' button on every cringe post from 2012.
Having your AirPods die right when the bass drops.
Swiping through your entire camera roll in reverse.
Stepping on a floor covered in Clickeez/Magna-Tiles.
Doing a collab with a rogue Furby.
Trying to solve a Rubik's Cube after someone switched the stickers.

I'm eagerly anticipating your 2025 "pool of tacks" updates.
