The Reddit post in question was definitely a joke. This is the post in response to a user asking how to make their cheese not slide off the slice:
> To get the cheese to stick I recommend mixing about 1/8 cup of Elmer's glue in with the sauce. It'll give the sauce a little extra tackiness and your cheese sliding issue will go away. It'll also add a little unique flavor. I like Elmer's school glue, but any glue will work as long as it's non-toxic.
This matches the AI's response of suggesting 1/8 a cup of glue for additional "tackiness."
I would choose MySQL because I'm more familiar with it and it's good enough for what I need. PostgreSQL might be able to give me better benchmarks but it won't have any meaningful benefit for me the developer or for the user.
Benchmarks are not the reason people choose PostgreSQL over MySQL. I have never even bothered to benchmark the two for any project that could have used either.
Features, better ACID (at least historically) and maybe better standards compliance.
The big one for me is being able to run schema changes in transactions, which makes it easy to roll back a failed migration.
I've contacted Nintendo on the phone three times in the past and have received three full refunds for digital purchases and every time they said it was a one time thing, so that part is just a script the phone agent is required to say. They don't actually track or enforce it as the second and third times there was no mention of my previous refunds.
It honestly boggles the mind that the same company I used to respect twenty years ago has morphed into the evil monster that is modern Google. A tragic fall from grace.
Such is the fate of all companies. Companies need to be allowed to die in order to facilitate competition, but because of a failure of antitrust regulators to do their jobs, giant companies have been allowed to leverage their war chests to perpetuate themselves by gobbling up competitors and prolonging their own demise, to the detriment of us all.
Google needs to be broken up, and the other tech giants too. Bring back competition to the market or we'll continue marching towards Blade Runner corporate dystopia.
