Posted on September 20, 2024September 20, 2024 by WillemFriday/ a widget in my beer 🍻 Happy Friday. I cracked open one of my Guinness beers tonight. I knew, more or less, what the little ball inside my can of Guinness beer was for, but thought I’d ask Chat GPT anyway. Hmm .. ChatGPT Is very enthusiastic about the widget (‘a brilliant solution’), making me suspect that it had lifted this answer in its entirety from the Guinness website. That’s all right, though— at least I learned that the little ball is called a ‘widget’, and that it has nitrogen in.
