There are many cooking methods out there for chicken. You can roast it, fry it, sauté it and many more. What about slapping? Well, one man did just that by creating a contraption that can slap a chicken until it’s fully cooked. But, how does it taste?

👍👎 AI can’t read your mind: Use “do” and “don’t” in your prompts to get the results you want. Say you’re cooking for friends, and some have allergies. Say, “Create a recipe for six people. Do include protein, fruits, vegetables and carbs. Don’t include dairy products, shellfish or nuts.” Easy-peasy.
I support these internet laws
Have you heard about the new ideas Californian legislators are cooking up? Listen to this one-minute episode to find out why I’m giving these new bills the thumbs up.
Not all “Hey, babe” DMs are created equal: Oh, shocker! Two guys are suing OnlyFans because, brace yourself, they weren’t actually chatting with the models they subscribed to. Turns out, some creators outsource fan messages. That flirty “I love your cooking 🥺” message was probably written by Chad in a WeWork.

For what scientists call the perfect hard-boiled egg. Periodic cooking alternates between hot and cold water every two minutes to achieve cooked whites and creamy yolks. If I had 32 minutes, I wouldn’t be eating a hard-boiled egg. I ordered a chicken and an egg from Amazon today. I’ll let you know.
Gifts that give them something to do
🏡 And they won’t even have to leave the house.
- Stop spending hours in the candle aisle trying to guess what scent they like. They can make their own with this kit!
- A cozy cup holder is great for movie lovers … or anyone who doesn’t want to tear apart an entire sectional looking for a lost remote.
- You’ll have the hottest gift of the day with a hot sauce-making kit. Maybe pair it with a gallon of 2%.
- A dream decoder ($16) might help them figure out why they keep dreaming about pugs wearing tuxedos.
- For the person who loves YouTube and podcasts more than crafting, these headphones sound as good* as models three times the price.
- A sushi-making kit (23% off, $8), because paying $16 for a California roll at a restaurant is lunacy.
- Channel Columbo with a fun murder mystery game (33% off).
- This cookbook (29% off) has 100 recipes straight from Disney’s parks. And yes, it has the Magic Kingdom Dole Whip. Mmm.
- This book (34% off) is like paint-by-numbers but with stickers. Even I can do that!

Alexa+ is here … kinda: The gall! Amazon’s new $20/month (Yikes!) AI assistant is rolling out to newer Alexa devices, but a few hyped-up features are MIA. Right now, you can order an Uber, get cooking advice and upload docs for summaries. Storytelling for kids, recognizing who’s in the room and chore reminders are coming. FYI, smarter Alexa is free if you pay for Prime.
💸 Another flop for Harry and Meghan: Their $100 million Netflix deal is on shaky ground. “Polo,” their new series focusing on the world of elite equestrian sports, has been ridiculed by critics as “unintentionally hilarious.” I tried to watch it, but it was so bad. The couple never did the animated series Netflix signed for, either. Meghan’s reputation as being extremely difficult to work with isn’t helping matters, and her cooking show is going up in smoke, too. PSA: Working for a living takes up your whole day.
