being funny and my younger brother
i learned 2 things about my brother today: he wants braces, and that he needs therapy.
earlier today, i was helping my brother danial set up his macbook. one of the things i told him to install was chatgpt mac app— its convenient and makes the subscription worth it.
well, i log into his chatgpt and in his chat history a chat labelled the “cost of braces” in nc. it broke my heart a little bit. as his older brother, i can afford to help him get braces and im going to have that talk with him.
i wanted to see what he was saying. so i read it. it started normal enough.
“whats the cost of braces”
“about 5-7k”
normal enough so far.
“is that with insurance?”
“yes that includes the price of insurance”
okay so it starts going to cheaper alternatives.
“is it cheaper to fly to turkey and get it done?”
“some response i dont rememeber”
all i know is that the response must have been very off putting. because after this my brother just gives up. his next question, and i swear to god this is true, is
“what does butt taste like?”
and i just lost it laughing. he completely gave up within 3 questions. he didn’t start a new chat or anything. he was sitting there asking those questions and then his immediate, natural follow up was “what does butt taste like”
oh to be in the mind of an adolescent.
i dont know whats worse, that he gave up or that eating ass was his plan b.
