Not sure why this was offensive, the Wii had quite a bit of market success with the elderly.

In defense the Wii was popular with people that very likely died of natural causes years ago.

Dreamcast came with a modem and an optional Ethernet adapter 8 years earlier. The GD-ROM was too clever by half. But perhaps it was the prototype of peak game consoles. I have a soft spot because the home brew scene on that started a full quarter century ago.

And most AirBnBs charge cleaning fees. So if you’re not paying for “cleaning” what exactly is it?

There’s no value to this post honestly.

You mean dietitian.

This is meant to be good natured pedantry, but look it up, you may find it interesting.

Were any of the 39 answers to a question that was not likely to be from a sock puppet?

Doesn’t necessarily make the solutions less impressive, but it’s kind of a relevant detail that is left out in the Wikipedia summary.

More AI slop.

You’re right, it just sucks. I don’t care how much AI anyone uses. It’s not that it’s “AI” slop, it’s slop. In this day and age we are almost certain AI was involved, but it has little to do with the criticism. It’s just a few short years ago we assume this kind of crap wouldn’t make it to the front page on the regular.

And the criticism isn’t even that it is off… things that are off can have artistic or entertainment value. This doesn’t. It’s just screams laziness.

Nobody called you out. You really can believe whatever you want. The delusions of grandeur comment was clearly not addressed at you personally (“site with delusions of grandeur”). Touch grass, seriously.

MODY is something else entirely (a genetic mutation driven disease with distinct pathophysiology from Type 1). What’s being discussed here is LADA (late autoimmune diabetes in adults). LADA itself isn’t that rare but it is a small minority of all cases of diabetes in older adults.

"Some day, your immune system may decide to attack your pancreas."

Immune attack of the pancreas is usually a disease of youth. Type 2 diabetes which is overwhelmingly the diabetes associated with aging is not an autoimmune disease.
