Attached is a picture of food on hand. I need a dinner recipe for 2.

I’m looking for help understanding why my 5-year-old is lashing out at school.

Some context:
- He’s normally sweet and curious at home, but lately he’s been hitting and yelling at classmates during preschool circle time
- The teacher says it happens when he feels ignored or loses a turn—especially during group activities
- At home, he’s been more defiant too, saying “no” a lot and sometimes throwing toys when frustrated
- No major changes at home, but he just became a big brother 2 months ago, and we’re all a bit sleep-deprived
- He’s still affectionate with me and plays well one-on-one, but group settings seem to trigger him

I’d like to explore:
- What could be going on emotionally or developmentally at this age
- How much of this is typical 5-year-old behavior vs. something to flag
- Specific strategies I can try at home and ways to work with his teacher
- What other parents or early childhood specialists have found helpful in similar cases

Please include a mix of expert-based advice and hive mind input if possible.
Also let me know what other information would add depth or clarity for a better recommendation.

I’m searching for a new shampoo.

Specifics are:
- My hair is fine, color-treated, and tends to get oily at the roots
- I wash it 2–3 times a week and prefer a rich lather
- I hate fruity or herbal scents—something clean or neutral is better
- My current shampoo (Pantene Repair & Protect) feels like it’s leaving buildup
- Budget: under $20

Based on real user experiences and hive mind consensus, can you suggest 2–3 top options that fit my needs?
For each one, include a few pros and cons from reviews—what people love, what they complain about, and who it’s best for.
Bonus if you can tell me which is most popular among people with my hair type.

This is becoming a big topic. On forums, I'm seeing an increase in posts of people who started treating the LLM as a therpist without understanding its limitations. I've discussed drift, hallucinations and the mirror effect here.

It is incredibly important when delving into this area that the user be aware of the dangers. The LLM doesn't go backwards and check its work to see if its staying consistent. That's up to you.

I just went on a three-month medication withdrawal from a medication I no longer needed. I wrote about it and included a master prompt I used during the time to ensure the mirror effect didn’t cause me to drift in unhelpful directions.

If you are in a similar situation and want to hear how I got through it, my story is here.

I’m struggling after losing my cat unexpectedly this week. I’m not sure what to do with the feelings—it’s hitting harder than I thought.

Please help me:
- Understand what might be going on emotionally (grief stages, overload, guilt)
- Clarify what’s normal vs. what might need closer attention
- Offer realistic, non-corny suggestions for what might help me regulate a bit
- Suggest one or two phrases I could use if I want to talk about this but don’t know how to start
- Skip platitudes—I want something that helps me feel more steady and less reactive

You can assume I’m reasonably self-aware and prefer thoughtful, direct insight over vague comfort.

I’m looking for the best Chinese food in New York City—based on recent reviews and verified open status.

Please check only places with consistently good reviews from the last 2–3 months, and confirm each one is still operating with accurate hours and price range.

Focus areas:
- Authentic neighborhoods: Chinatown (Manhattan), Flushing (Queens), Sunset Park (Brooklyn)
- Regional styles: Sichuan, Cantonese, Taiwanese, Xi’an, etc.
- Crowd favorites and cult gems—not just Michelin or tourist picks

Break down by:
- Cuisine style
- Price range (cheap, moderate, upscale)
- Known-for dishes or specialties
- Dine-in vs. takeout
- Notes like “cash only” or “long wait”

Provide the search date and flag anything that may be outdated soon (e.g. seasonal dishes, limited hours).

I want to understand the true scale of the universe.

Start with a size comparison I can grasp—from human scale to planets, stars, solar systems, galaxies, and beyond. Use familiar objects (basketballs, grains of sand, light-years) to help me visualize the scale.

Include:
- How many known objects or celestial bodies exist at each level (stars in Milky Way, galaxies in the observable universe, etc.)
- A sense of how far apart things really are—use examples that make spatial gaps relatable
- Any scientific milestones or discoveries that helped us map this scale
- If possible, include both mind-blowing extremes and the limits of what we currently know

This doesn’t need to be poetic or philosophical—I’m looking for clarity, data, and perspective. Educate me like I’m curious, not clueless.
