Siri's bedtime stories can be rather touching

The following was performed on macOS 11.3 Beta. It likely has the same stuff in 11.2 and on iOS, but in case not it's clarified.

Tonight I wondered what happens if you specifically ask Siri for a bedtime story. I'm very easy to tears, but I did not expect to sit here crying over the story Siri read to me. The first one was just a bit endearing; Made me smile. About a girl asking a fairy to not have to sleep and seeing the world at night being rather dull and going back to bed. The second had my face turn into a wet mess, haha. It's the one about the star Stella in case you try this yourself.

will try that. i've had her tell me jokes, which i then share with friends; why should i have to suffer alone? 🤣 ...

Fun little feature. Tried it and got one about the planets.

I'll try too. Good tip there, Casper.

Thought you were playing on words there; Casper was Apple's original voice recognition software code name... But no, just the OP.

Little known fact that I am in fact that original voice recognition software... *beep boop*

Siri read me a long treatise on Quantum Mechanics, then asked me if I was asleep yet 🤔

(apologies to 'unsupported', whose joke i've kinda hijacked)...

It wasn't a joke. It's true! 😉

I'm not that clever

( also, I wasn't aware of the fact your brought forth )

PS.. I haven't tried anything Siri-related as of yet. I've been too occupied doing other stuff.
(Off-topic = Despite my laziness I seem to get a few things done. It's amazing how much dust crops up at home, even if I'm alone. It's more upkeep than I imagined just keeping a relativly clean house)

Yeah… I’m OK with dusting, but I’ve not got the best strategy for tidying up… Don’t open the middle closet, haha

simple: when you're out, wear a mask. when you're home, wear a mask... over your eyes. no more messy home!

I don't know what version of iOS is running on my kid's iPad, but Siri told us 2 bedtime stories last night - the planets one, and one about a girl who didn't want to go to sleep.

I've only been able to get 5 stories but they've all been really rather good. Though a shame Siri seems to think Uranus isn't important, haha

Especially since Uranus is full of gas.
