Is this subreddit just full of bots? This is the #1 post right now and none of the comments in here even make any sense right now

Most of Reddit and other social media platforms are. Why not? Best form of advertisement - a “natural” conversation. Reminds me of that time when someone suggested a can of coke when I was feeling thirsty. The sweet taste and the carbonation on my tongue, man nothing can beat that.

Lol but seriously. Social media is the matrix and sucking out our energy, the bots are programmed to make us think of consumption.

Can't have organic conversation any more, it's always bot posts. One trick to prove you're not a bot is to tell stories that don't go anywhere. Like the time I caught the ferry to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe. So I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on 'em. "Gimme five bees for a quarter," you'd say. Now where were we... oh yeah. The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn't have any white onions, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones...

So here’s for the people wondering

A study on the findings was published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society this month.

“The Cliffs, which NASA describes as an area of space located ‘at the edge of a gigantic, gaseous cavity’ within the NGC 3324 star cluster, has been studied for years. But it wasn't until the Webb Telescope was able to observe it that astronomers found some of the more immaculate details. With it, NASA scientists found 24 previously unknown outflows from baby stars, revealing a "gallery of objects ranging from small fountains to burbling behemoths that extend light-years from the forming stars."

“NASA said that the ‘very early’ formation of every star is a "relatively fleeting event – just a few thousand to 10,000 years amid a multi-million-year process of star formation. But Webb was able to capture a ‘snapshot in time,’ astronomer and leader of the study Megan Reiter said, ‘to see just how much star formation is going on in what may be a more typical corner of the universe that we haven't been able to see before.’"

“Many of the stars observed in this study are expected to become low mass stars like our galaxy's sun. And according to Reiter, astronomers will now have a better idea of where in space they can observe just how ‘sun-like stars’ come to fruition.”

"It opens the door for what's going to be possible in terms of looking at these populations of newborn stars in fairly typical environments of the universe that have been invisible up until the James Webb Space Telescope," Reiter said.”

Are we still going on a bike trip to thing this week? And if we do it again on Sunday we can go on the bike with the boys if we don’t go to the park or something else like the one we did at the other place in that area that you mentioned that you were interested in that would be great but if we do go on the bikes then I will have a ride to you guys to do that too.

It is not advisable to pour motor oil or any other type of harmful substance onto a pretzel, banana, or any other type of food item. Motor oil is a toxic substance that is not safe for consumption and can cause serious health problems if ingested.

I think the article is AI written and is a jumble of concepts. Redditors are commenting on some of the less sensical claims.

From the article: “Many of the stars observed in this study are expected to become low mass stars like our galaxy's sun. “

I feel like we got that initial batch of photos from James Webb and nothing else. I’ve tried looking for more and don’t even know if they’re releasing more. It’s been handled a abysmally

they dont care at all because there is no incentive to stop them and no punishment for letting it happen

reddits bread and butter is allowing trolls and bots to post misinformation and clickbait garbage without any repercussions

this whole website could give facebunk a run for its money on the bullshit'o'meter

A lot of observations were put off due to the "sticky" motion controls for MIRI. Also keep in mind that because JWST is not a visible light instrument, many of its observations may not be sexy enough for mainstream press. The kind of observations for which it is best suited are just a lot of data that must be computationally analyzed to make sense of it.

But hey, nearly all the raw data is available for download, so if you want pretty pictures, all you have to do is learn to perceive streams of IR data.

Important question I never considered and now never won’t not. “Never won’t not” is cause “never will not,” “can’t not,” “will never not” is what a bot will say. If you disagree you be a bot. Disagree with that again and you bot, my bot.

Now think about the fact that I've been noticing them for the last several years, and whenever I call them out, people are like "lol why you mad, they're not hurting anyone" and I just start fuming ...

yeah but as far as advertising, they are usually one shot and once in a while. If I designed an ad bot I'd do a search for existing subs with relevant keywords and mass post artificial conversations or threads, as a numbers game. Which happens for example in r/showerorange. Big for a niche sub, but every few months I catch a post about showerheads on sale before a mod removes them. The smaller the sub, the less that numbers game has an effect, and drawfs in comparison to default subs. Manipulating karma has been long know how to do by veterans on here, so I can really only let my trust down a little with handfuls of smaller subs. It it all but a guaranteed equation that big sub = more bots and sublim ads (i.e. astroturfing). It's actually how reddit continues to survive, we can just keep making more subreddits. To make matters worse I see definite vote manipulation. Rule of thumb: if there is a brand in post, there is high likelihood that the most is.

They don't owe you photos to post on your facebook. Science and data is for people who actually know what they're looking at. People who just clap and look at pretty colors can do the leg work to go to the sources to get them.

This is AI-written trash.

"NASA, who studies stars in the United States, has created a telescope for astronomy fans worldwide. All in all, space exploration has yielded many scientific advances, say critics. The sun is 93.7 million miles away. Tom Cruise was the star of Magnolia."
