This is an IHeart podcast.

Open AI is a financial abomination, a thing that should not be, an aberration, a symbol of rot at the heart of Silicon Valley.

And I'm going to tell you why on my show, Better Offline, the rudest show in the tech industry,

where we're breaking down why Open AI, along with other AI companies, are dead set on lying to your boss that they can take your

job. I'm also going to be talking with the greatest minds in the industry about all the other ways

the rich and powerful are ruining the computer. Listen to Better Offline on the IHot Radio app, Apple Podcasts,

wherever you happen to get your podcasts.

Hey and welcome to The Short Stuff.

I'm Josh, and there's Chuck and Jerry's sitting in for Dave.

And appropriately, in this short stuff, we're going to talk about the world's shortest war.

That's right.

Another Dave Roo special for the Shorty.

So thanks, Dave, for this.

Yeah, thanks.

This is about the Anglo-Zanzibar War, which is generous to call this a war, but technically it's listed as such.

It was really a very quick, one-sided conflict.

So quick, it is known as the shortest war.

Numbers vary, but you probably see 38 minutes online when you look this thing up,

maybe as high as 45. Yeah, but everyone agrees it was less than an hour this war. That's right.

So Anglo-Zanzibar means that it was between England and Zanzibar, appropriately enough.

It happened, did you say, in 1896?

I did not mention the date.
