Examples to run
I've found sometimes in the moment people can't think of anything to ask after they've uploaded the mega-prompt. Here are some questions to try and images to upload.
The snow used in the Wizard of Oz was 100% asbestos.
analyze this: The US banned all artificial dyes effective April 22, 2025.
sources table: can they grow teeth in a lab?
Analyze: In 2016, a train station in a remote Japanese village was scheduled to close permanently. However, when they noticed a single student using it to commute to school, they decided to keep it open until she graduated.
sources table: it's a mystery how the pyramids were built
Analyze: PBS aired a drag show for kids during the pandemic
Analyze: As Azar Gat shows, organized intra-species predation ("war") shows up in every hunter-gatherer or horticultural civilization we have data for. In fact, the rates of violence are often much, much higher than in agricultural societies or states.
The idea that "bread" 100 years ago was pristine wheat and yeast is just not true. This is the actual reality: bread adulteration was happening at scale by the end of the eighteenth century, and it caused wide scale issues with people getting rickets.
the more carbon dioxide you have, the more plants you have.
the more plants you have, the more oxygen you have. this is 5th grade science.
These are the richest municipalities in Connecticut: Darien, Old Greenwich, Westport, Riverside, Stamford, New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport
sources table: water fluoridation is dangerous

Azar Gat Claims
An analysis of Azar Gat's research on warfare in hunter-gatherer societies. Examines evidence suggesting that organized violence was common in prehistoric societies, with debate between "deep roots" and "shallow roots" theories of human warfare patterns. Reviews scholarly perspectives on violence rates in ancient versus modern societies.
Asbestos Snow in Wizard of Oz?
A log of an exploration of whether asbestos was used to make the snow in Wizard of Oz. Has an interesting turn owards the second half of the log, where requesting "another round" of sources ends up overturning the up-to-then prevailing conclusion. If pressed for time at least scroll down to the "Read the Room" section.
Eisenhower Assassination Claims
Investigation into whether President Eisenhower authorized the assassination of Patrice Lumumba, Congo's first elected leader. Examines conflicting historical evidence including NSC meeting testimonies, declassified documents, and subsequent historical analyses of US involvement in Congo during the Cold War.
Bread was healthy in the past claims
Examination of the misconception that historical bread was more wholesome than modern bread. Documents widespread adulteration practices in 18th and 19th century bread-making, including the addition of alum, chalk, and other substances. Explores Dr. John Snow's research connecting bread adulteration to diseases like rickets.
Does Gravity "pull"?
Clarification of modern physics understanding of gravity according to Einstein's General Relativity. Explains that gravity is not a traditional "pulling" force as in Newtonian physics, but rather a curvature of spacetime caused by massive objects. Describes how objects follow geodesic paths through curved spacetime, creating what we perceive as gravitational attraction.
Miasma Claims
Overview of the historical miasma theory of disease that dominated medicine until the late 19th century. Describes how diseases were attributed to "bad air" from decomposing matter, and how this theory, while incorrect, led to useful public health reforms before being displaced by germ theory through the work of scientists like Pasteur and Koch.
