I understand you have a different religious view although I am curious what is so offensive about this one, it's a house blessing tradition
 
do you object to observing the 12 days of Christmas? Or rather the Epiphany? Epiphany traditions are pretty old:

> The earliest reference to Epiphany as a Christian feast was in A.D. 361, by Ammianus Marcellinus
 
The protestant / fundamentalist / evangelical / etc. rejection of certain traditions feels hard for me to follow as Catholics and orthodox and some protestants share a history and agreement of observing them to some degree

Anyone Eat Coffee Beans? (coffeeyak.com)

Apparently they're edible without people having to make coffee out of them by adding hot water:
 
There's estimated to be up to 4mg (?) caffeine per bean
 
Seems like for some people they might enjoy simply eating the beans rather than brewing up coffee if they're just trying to get a dose of caffeine

On the one hand, I could see wrong answers being submitted and that being a problem, but maybe they could just mention that ChatGPT contributed to the answer? On the other hand, this could slow the generation of correct answers unnecessarily.
 
Thoughts?
