AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around skepticism regarding the authenticity of a viral claim about cellphones popping popcorn. Initial reactions express doubt about the validity of the phenomenon, with some participants finding it strange and likely fake. A referenced blog post outlines a process where cellphones, when placed near popcorn, supposedly cause it to pop due to vibrations. However, scientific explanations suggest that while popcorn pops from internal pressure release, the idea that cellphones can effectively cause this through vibrations is considered implausible. Overall, the consensus leans towards the claim being a hoax rather than a legitimate scientific occurrence.

When a popcorn is heated it builds up gas in the inside.
A popcorn pops because the pressure of the gas is released.
The vibrations of the cellphones crack the shell of the popcorn thus releasing the gas!

(I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...

Thread 'MS 365 Profile Badge colour'

Sorry if 'Profile Badge' is not the correct term. I have an MS 365 subscription and I've noticed on my Word documents the small circle with my initials in it is sometimes different in colour document to document (it's the circle at the top right of the doc, that, when you hover over it it tells you you're signed in; if you click on it you get a bit more info). Last night I had four docs with a red circle, one with blue. When I closed the blue and opened it again it was red. Today I have 3...
