Could you NSFW tag this? Getting reports about rule 4 and 6 that are reasonable, but if it’s behind a tag, I think it’s fine.

I’m running PopOS and Debian with Nvidia cards that should be affected by this, if I’m understanding this right. Ugh.

What a pain.

This didn’t have such a wholesome outcome for Cricket.

Nearly dropped my phone

Apparently this was 1992 in San Diego. According to the AI summary (I did navigate into each linked source, and they seem legit), this is the info:

It also mentioned two people out of frame on the right, so I figured out it was cropped. Here’s the full original photo:

I think it’s the harsh consonant sounds. I’m not a linguist and am sure there’s some term for it, but it seems like we identify words in English more from the distinct “framing” of the consonants and are more flexible about hearing variations in how the vowel sounds in between are pronounced.

For example, it’s the same reason that whispering (which largely takes out tone/pitch of vowel sounds) is super easy in English, but more difficult in some other languages.

If it elicits a groan, it’s peak dad humor.

This is probably one of the most loosely moderated communities on Lemmy, intentionally. I have no desire to be the morality or thought police, I just know that a lot of people don’t want to be surprised with porn or gore that they weren’t intending to see, so sometimes I ask people to use the NSFW tag.

Getting reports on this. Could you add a NSFW tag?

As a general rule of thumb, it would be best to tag anything that is (or appears to be) from porn, even if censored or off screen.

Dumping this much corn at once is basically food waste.

I did some googling and found this. Not sure if it’s the most common name for it or not, because I’ve never heard it:

Please add NSFW tag

He’s famous as a really good geo-guesser (a game where people get random google streetview images and try to drop a pin as close to the coordinates as possible).

People give him challenges all the time, and it’s really impressive.

Here he is finding someone’s location based on a picture taken from a plane.

Found a scan of the article for anyone curious:

It would be funny to contact them about this…

They’re not mine. There’s a popular poster on IG, Reddit, and X called “IRL Loading Screens” (the watermark in the image), and they make these and a bunch of others. I reposted a couple of the states that I saw maybe a month ago here, and people seemed to like them, so I’ve been saving them for Lemmy as I see them.

I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.

Or

AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

It’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.

When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.

I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.

Yeah, if you search for “IRL Loading Screens”, they’re on a bunch of socials: a dedicated subreddit, Instagram, X, etc., and their stuff seems to circulate everywhere.

I don’t know if anyone has put all the states they’ve done together yet.

I thought there was no way!
