a while ago I read this sci-fi short story from the 50s where a guy is kidnapped and interrogated by aliens using a very sophisticated lie detector, but he realizes that the lie detector works off technical truth, and with some careful phrasing and misdirection, he manages to make them believe that humans are a race of immortal, overpowered, omniscient telepathic beings. and it works.
my favorite part is when he tells them that humans are "capable of transportation without the aid of spaceships or any vehicles, just by using mental power to control physical matter". it's true, we can. it's called walking.

girl typing a very specific question into google search bar, scrunching her face as she takes time to make sure she hasn't made any spelling errors, hitting enter, shaking her head as google only presents her with unhelpful websites that don't answer her query at all, moving her cursor back to the search bar and clicking on it so she can carefully write 'reddit' at the end, hitting enter again, sighing with relief as she finds a link to a reddit post asking the exact question she needed answered posted in a subreddit for a very niche topic, finally moving her cursor to click on the link, wondering why she didn't go straight to the subreddit earlier, only to be met with a deleted comment with a reply from the OP stating 'that was very helpful, thanks', sighing with frustration as she moves her cursor back to the search bar so she can copy the link and paste it into the wayback machine,

video description: an AO3 tutorial narrated by a female voice. She is answering the question, "is there a way to include two separate tags? like to show me fics with fluff OR angst and it doesn't have to have both?"
"This is a great question because you might think that you want to do this."
The narrator zooms in on the filters menu where Fluff and Angst have both been added as other tags to include.
"But this actually means that I want to have both of those tags together."
She then explains that if you want search results that contain either one of those tags or both of them, the user should instead use the Search Within Results field at the bottom of the filter menu.
To create a filter for either fluff or angst, she instructs the user to type
fluff || angst
into the field. She explains that || means or. She also explains that you could use the word or in all caps instead like this
fluff OR angst
She then demonstrates search results with one fic which has the tag fluff, one fic that has the tag angst, and one fic that has both tags.
At the end of the video, she notes that if the tag you want to include in your search has more than one word (meaning there is a space between the words), then you should put quotation marks around it.
Note: you can string together multiple ORs, so for example
fluff OR angst OR hurt/comfort OR crack
