Aligators all the way down
PHWOAR
That's not a croc, _this_ is a croc.
@bezt However, this is probably ML generated, and it's simulacra all the way down - the legs on the furniture in the background don't quite make sense. AI-ligator, not alligator. This does seem to have happened in 2019, though on a smaller scale. https://www.clickorlando.com/news...

Intricately detailed shapes of the blue-tiled mosque's ceiling
'The ceiling of Shah Mosque in Isfahan, Iran (1611), featuring a mesmerising array of geometrical tessellations and radial designs. The patterns are meticulously planned, with each tile cut to fit into the celestial design.'

Please tell me those fuckers haven't bombed this
I was fortunate enough to visit Iran in 2015. The architecture and mosques of Isfahan were an absolute highlight. I'll dig up some photos to share, it's a spectacular place.
This mosque is very high on my list of places to visit, and each year it gets less and less likely I will be able to...
Tardigrade-esque

I love this so much
i love doing this. i'm considering doing a photo book of just photos of other people's photos the moment they're being taken.
I love taking photos of people taking photos.
i'm glad it's not just me!
I was at a show in a small venue this winter, and one of the groups had set up a videocamera to film their set. I took a photo of the display, with the band blurry beyond it, and afterward three or four other audience members did the same thing. The first one actually told me it was a great idea.

[satirical statement from george costanza]
Good afternoon.
The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jerry Seinfeld need to end today.
I have never been friends with Seinfeld.
I was invited to the same parties as Seinfeld from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City.
The first time I crossed paths with Seinfeld was in the year 2000, at an event Elaine Benes and I attended together. I never had a relationship with Seinfeld or his accomplice, Kramer.

Introspective petunia loving pup, what kind is she?
@0y3ahSansAcut3 Her mom is a Rat Terrier-ish dog - that's about all we know. Hard to tell about what else is involved. She'll stay pretty small though.

I can just barely remember this on the outskirts of my mind. I wonder if this is where my love for sorting came from.
Those came in periodic packets in the mail, yeah? This is unlocking some core memories for sure
Illustrated Wildlife Treasury cards from the 70s. I remember these too. We're all old.
I might still have mine in the house somewhere, I loved reading those things when I was a kid
YES!

Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Melania Trump on the Weekend at Bernie's poster
if you watch this again, i would say it actually holds up. if anything it improved for me, because the lampooning of drunk east coast jackasses become much more prescient to me in my 40s than in my teens. also it's funny when rich people die.

Jerry, Mark (as Booji Boy), and Bob 1 of Devo at The Complex in SLC.
It only took me 45 years to finally get my ass to see these guys, and it was so worth it! I've been a fan since high school, but have never been able to line my schedule up with theirs. Oh, and I even got a smiley face bouncy ball from Booji Boy!

Lives in England, made by New Zealanders
"Ten tonnes of chalk has been dropped by an RAF Chinook helicopter on a giant kiwi as part of a major restoration project.
The Bulford Kiwi is set in the chalk on Beacon Hill, above the village of Bulford on Wiltshire's Salisbury Plain.
Constructed in 1919, it was carved by soldiers from the New Zealand Expeditionary Force who were waiting to return home following the end of World War One."
More here https://www.bbc.com/news...
Bigness not confirmed, however I have seen pictures of the NZ Expeditionary Force https://www.awm.gov.au/collecti... and I therefore have no need to question the validity.

Bringing the chalk in by Chinook. hmm
10 tonnes of chalk dropped and about 7 tonnes blown away.

a flat rectangular plastic card with four large round circles arranged in an arc and a semicircular cutout in the left edge. It is white with orange highlights. It's clearly designed to engage with the fingers and thumb of the left hand. There is a small round hole for a knotted string in the top left corner, marked "Memory". The larger holes, from top to bottom, are numbered 1, 3, 5 (thumb cutout), 2 and 4.
All of the text is written in a delightfully retro-futuristic font (likely Data70) invoking MICR computer text. Other texts are "The Zlotnian Calculator™" and "© Fingerbrain Co. Seattle, WA 98103 U.S.A."
This one is 3D printed, unlike the other one posted earlier.

A man and woman wave at someone from in front of a white house. As they turn and walk between topiary back to the house, it's revealed that neither is wearing pants or underwear.
Do you think she has sock tattoos on her lower legs?

short video clip taking the "harpsichord solo" from the beatles track "in my life" and slowing it down to its original recording speed. video is a still photograph of producer george martin sitting at a keyboard in the studio with paul mccartney standing over his shoulder
i was always a big fan of the novel recording techniques developed by george martin while working with the beatles, but this was something i learned about very recently:
"Martin wrote a Bach-influenced piece that he found he could not play at the song's tempo. On 22 October, the solo was recorded with the tape running at half speed, so when played back at normal pace the piano was twice as fast and an octave higher, solving the performance challenge and also giving the solo a unique timbre, reminiscent of a harpsichord." [wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...]
full song for reference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch...
the "harpsichord solo" is at 1:28

next level butter management
Not too long ago I made a pie crust with thin butter strips like this instead of chunks and it was next level flaky.
OOOoooooh!!!!
And @dad I gotta try that!!
And @dad I gotta try that!!
butterfingers!
Been doing this for a while, keeps your toast intact.
oh shit
My problem is that years of experience in analog-era prepress has left me with knife skills that allow me to make butter peels like that with a steak knife or whatever else is handy so I never thought of using a peeler and that's dumb because the peeler would be so much faster.
A+ tip. With an extra + for the Kuhn Rikon peeler there.
