    So, y'all see that there's no author, right? It's Computer generated crap.

    That just solidifies why I think that even those that are book smart are not really highly intelligent unless some street smarts are present.

    Dryness – The drier the firewood is when you start using it, the longer it will burn. If you store wood properly, it will remain dry even if it’s kept outside. This will allow you to use the wood again once it’s been burned.
    Use the wood again once it's been burned? WTF?
    Are we getting into fishes and loaves territory here?

    I stopped reading after the subheading “What is firewood made of?”
    Really?
    Seriously?
    Wow.

    Exactly my thoughts....reminded me of papers I might have composed in 8th grade. Not too bad for that....obviously not enough sources, and little to no experience....

    But for grade school, not bad

    This is exactly right. Usually the AI-generated stuff isn't this bad, but we're seeing more of this kind of stuff lately. I assume the site just generate all sorts of garbage hoping for clicks and ad revenue.

    Well not totally worthless. It's an excellent bad example of journalism, regardless of the source.

    Train wreck of an "article". I suck at writing and could do better than that. Not to mention keep it somewhat factual.

    I'm surprised they didn't write about the advantages of organic free range firewood.
