Did your beer just get fatter? ;)

In an effort to fatten up cows and get them to market faster, scientists have altered the DNA of Golden Promise barley to increase its fat content

Seems legit.

I was just waiting for the "Only 50 payments of $19.99, but wait, there's more" LOL

No clue why you posted that. So, I'll go with the obvious. No. Is your name really Sandy Feet?

We had an AI agent on another forum that was so specific about a question that I think it was stumped on the answer elsewhere so 'went to the source' hoping for clarification. It wouldn't answer relevant questions. I told it no one would help until Alan was satisfied. (Hint: Turing )

According to my son, who uses AI at work, it mainly plagiarizes while stripping all attributions to the source and apologizes profusely for being an idiot. In this case it was an idiot because no one would help it out even though it started pretty much the same thread again, with the reworded questions, when it realized it wasn't getting anywhere. At that point the mods deleted its' account.

Love the name @Anon E Moose !

Looks like this will only be a problem for your beer if you regularly include barley leaves in your brews.
