If you stare at just the exact right part of the toothpick, and measure the length from the tip, expressed in terms of the appropriate unit and converted into binary, and then translated into English, you can find any message you want. You just have to pinpoint your gaze very very exactly (I call this “a prompt”).
In fact, on your toothpick you can find the lead article from today’s New York Times. With enough squinting, measuring, and translating.
By producing the toothpick, they put the message there and thus they gave you NYT access, even though you are not a paid subscriber. You simply need to how to stare (and translate), or in other words how to prompt.
So let’s sue the toothpick company!
