How and why do cats purr? Scientists finally found the answers - Earth.com

To the reader/asker:

And ever so dutifully, Claude reports:

Claude boy, how do I do division and modulus in OCaml?

Why do I smell bad even though I have good hygiene?

Ah. Claude Claude Claude.

Let’s ask Claude Sonnet 3.5, which is quite the advanced model (at par with Deepseek V3 R1 and GPT 4o) a very simple question:
