Earlier this month, a dog in Austria that smelled "like a beer hall" was brought to see a vet. The dog was barely able to stand on his own four paws.
Dingo is a three-year-old Labrador who weighs 40kg. He was a sad sight when his owner, a hunter, brought him in to the vet. Dingo was farting, had diarrhea and was throwing up. When Dingo was put up on the table, the vet said the place smelled like a beer factory.
Tests showed that Dingo had a large amount of alcohol in his body. But that was not because he had had one drink too many.

The hungry pooch had stolen and secretly eaten 0.5kg of fresh yeast dough from the kitchen. Alcohol had formed inside his stomach as a result of the fermentation process. That left poor old Dingo drunk.
"[Mean] people say that we hunters are often drunk. With me, it's my dog," joked the owner.

本月初，奧地利有隻聞起來「像間啤酒店」的狗被送去看獸醫，這隻狗幾乎無法撐起四肢站穩。
「丁哥」是一隻三歲大、重四十公斤的拉布拉多犬，當牠的獵人飼主帶牠到獸醫院時，丁哥看起來楚楚可憐，牠一面放屁、拉肚子還一面嘔吐；當丁哥被放置到手術台上時，獸醫說那裡聞起來就像是一間啤酒廠。
化驗結果顯示，丁哥體內含有大量的酒精，不過不是因為牠喝太多造成。
這隻飢腸轆轆的混種狗從廚房偷走並悄悄吃掉了一塊半公斤重的新鮮酵母麵團，結果酵母在牠的胃裡發酵產生酒精，才讓可憐的丁哥醉醺醺的。
狗主人自我調侃地說；「『刻薄』的人說我們獵人總是醉醺醺的，以我而言，醉醺醺的其實是我的狗。」

In an effort to fight phone scams, British mobile phone company O2 has introduced Daisy, an AI designed to engage phone con artists in time-wasting conversations. Daisy is portrayed as a kindly British granny, exploiting scammers’ tendency to target the elderly. Her voice, based on a real grandmother’s for authenticity, adds to her credibility in the role. “O2” has distributed several dedicated phone numbers online to direct scammers to Daisy instead of actual customers. When Daisy receives a call, she translates the scammers’ spoken words into text and then responds to them accordingly through a text-to-speech system. Remarkably, Daisy
Bilingual Story is a fictionalized account. 雙語故事部分內容純屬虛構。 Emma had reviewed 41 resumes that morning. While the ATS screened out 288 unqualified, she screened for AI slop. She could spot it a mile away. She muttered AI buzzwords like curses under her breath. “Team player.” “Results-driven.” “Stakeholder alignment.” “Leveraging core competencies.” Each resume reeked of AI modeling: a cemetery of cliches, tombstones of personality. AI wasn’t just changing hiring. It was draining the humanity from it. Then she found it: a plain PDF cover letter. No template. No design flourishes. The first line read: “I once tried to automate my
Every May 1, Hawaii comes alive with Lei Day, a festival celebrating the rich culture and spirit of the islands. Initiated in 1927 by the poet Don Blanding, Lei Day began as a tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing leis. The idea was quickly adopted and officially recognized as a holiday in 1929, and leis have since become a symbol of local pride and cultural preservation. In Hawaiian culture, leis are more than decorative garlands made from flowers, shells or feathers. For Hawaiians, giving a lei is as natural as saying “aloha.” It shows love and
