Forget jacking out we jacking in

Promotional artwork from Mega Man Battle Network showing Lan Hikari and MegaMan.EXE side by side. Lan, a young boy with spiky brown hair, salutes with a grin, wearing his signature blue headband, orange vest, and black shorts. Beside him, MegaMan.EXE strikes a confident pose in blue and yellow netnavi armor with a Mega Buster on his right arm. Both stand on a circular emblem split red and yellow.

Here I am making a pancake of someone’s dog

Doctor Dan the Pancake Man bent over his griddle in concentration, squeeze bottle in hand, building a colorful pancake portrait. He wears a green button-down patterned with luna moths and orange poppies. A tablet displays the reference photo beside him; squeeze bottles and tools line the workstation

A finished pancake portrait of a basset hound on a white plate, held above the griddle. The dog’s long brown ears, soulful eyes, and black nose are rendered in layered batter against a teal background with a black-and-white checkered border. A tattooed forearm holds the plate.

Beltane wedding trip successful, I adore my wife and my friends

A woman with long black box braids and round tortoiseshell glasses smiles softly while adjusting her glasses with one hand. She wears a vivid red flower crown with deer antlers rising from it, layered gold necklaces, and a flowing blue and orange top. Sunlit forest blurs behind her.

A selfie of a couple outdoors among tall evergreens with a glimpse of water behind them. The woman on the left wears the red flower-and-antler crown, round tortoiseshell glasses, and a blue ruffled top, grinning broadly. The man on the right has a shaved head, mustache and short beard, a thin gold circlet across his brow, and a deep purple button-down shirt printed with mushrooms and wildflowers.

Wella and I will be in south Texas next weekend. If you’re in the valley, come get some pancake art from us!

A detailed pancake art portrait of Jim Carrey’s Grinch sits on a decorated griddle beside hand-piped pancake lettering announcing an event: “First Friday Downtown Brownsville, Texas presents: A Grinch Christmas — Tree Lighting Ceremony — December 5, 2025 @ Market Square — Come see us!” The scene is photographed from above on a worktable.

Good to know I'm exactly as equipped to deal with the future as the goddamn government

A social media post by user "vfxgordon" discussing a tariff list organized by top-level internet domains rather than countries. The post humorously notes that this causes oddities like penguin-inhabited islands (.hm), the Diego Garcia military base (.io), Reunion (.re), and Gibraltar (.gi) being listed separately from their governing nations. The user claims this was likely generated by a large language model (LLM) and criticizes the oversight with a sarcastic tone.

Ghiblify? More like, ghibli-fried. Porco Rosso pancake art. I'd rather be a pig than a fascist. Made live at Eat Crow in St. Louis, MO.

Pancake art of Porco Rosso, the pig-faced pilot from the Studio Ghibli film of the same name. He wears aviator goggles, a green helmet, a white scarf, and a brown flight jacket, striking a confident pose with a blue sky behind him. The pancake is bordered with a red and white striped frame. Above the pancake, text reads: "Free Pancake Art, Saturdays @ Eat Crow! Tips Appreciated!" Below, a quote from the film says: “I’d rather be a pig than a fascist.” The pancake is displayed on a black griddle decorated with colorful trim.

Essentially: ChatGPT 4o was just updated with much more powerful image generation abilities, and overnight a meme emerged where people turned their personal photos Ghibli style. In short order the White House tweeted this image, which turns my stomach for a myriad of layered reasons

A screenshot of an official tweet from the White House showing an image of a frowning white man in a camo hat escorting a sobbing Latina woman in handcuffs in front of an American flag, converted into a cute Studio Ghibli illustration style using ChatGPT 4o / Dall-E.

Since Miyazaki’s work with Ghibli is being bastardized by the US government, here’s a pancake I painstakingly made of his face using actual human hands

Pancake art portrait of Hayao Miyazaki, featuring intricate shading and color detail. He is depicted with white hair, a matching beard, black-rimmed glasses, and a warm smile. The pancake is shaped to match the contours of his head and shoulders, displayed on a black griddle.

Hah. Take that, libs

The same screenshot from before but now the interface says “stopped creating image”

Dr. Dan the Pancake Man@anthromancer· Mar 27

Oh boy

I have prompted chatGPT 4o with the text “Generate an image of the bell curve wojak meme with the dumb guy and the smart guy saying “it’s fun”, and the crying mid guy saying “you can’t just make AI images in the style of studio ghibli and Wes Anderson!!”” and in this screenshot it is processing my request

Ladies and gentlemen, the brother in law

Screenshot of a humorous text conversation joking about Peter Thiel. The sender realizes they didn’t have the recipient’s number saved, and the recipient jokes they’re texting from Peter Thiel’s phone. The sender humorously asks for Thiel’s CashApp, and the recipient claims they’re now his “minion,” adding that Thiel provided a sleeping pod that prevents aging and intelligence gain.

A chaotic and absurd first-person shooter (FPS) video game screenshot featuring an underwater setting. The objective, displayed at the top in bold yellow text, is “KILL HITLER,” with a countdown timer of 5 minutes and 18 seconds remaining. The player is holding a sniper rifle with a scope while submerged underwater, aiming at monstrous sea creatures with glowing red eyes.

Numerous HUD (heads-up display) elements and alerts clutter the screen, including a warning about decompression sickness at 72% and another warning about returning to the surface too quickly. The depth is shown as 45.3 meters. A dialogue box on the left offers help options: “Get help with swimming” or “Get help with the plot.” A notification at the top says, “ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED: Go underwater with a gun.”

A radar in the top right corner displays red enemy markers, and a distressed escort character with “critical” health is pleading, “I’m being attacked! Help me!” in a small window. Another prominent UI prompt reads, “PRESS X TO NOT DIE.”

Additional bizarre elements include a “fingerless glove meter” in red at the bottom right and a “semen remaining” bar at the bottom left. The combination of nonsensical UI elements, exaggerated video game tropes, and the surreal underwater battle scene suggest this is a parody or humorous edit of FPS video games.

My boss doesn’t fuck around

The image shows a book titled The Fine Art of Garnishing by Jerry Crowley. The cover features an elaborate fruit and vegetable garnish arrangement, including a carved watermelon made to resemble a ship with a sail that has the word “Welcome” written on it. The display includes various fruits such as grapes, oranges, and melons, along with decorative elements like carved fruit flowers. The book’s tagline reads, “from radish roses to watermelon whales.” The book appears slightly worn, with visible creases and smudges on the cover. It is placed on a desk with other books and electronic accessories, including a black computer mouse and cables.

And if you’re from St. Louis, MO, come check us out on the weekends. We do pancake art for the general public for free every Saturday morning at Eat Crow in Soulard for their Heavy Metal Brunch, 11a to 2p.

A pancake art rendition of Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer rests on a custom griddle with a laser-etched grid. The pancake captures the iconic portrait with remarkable detail, using layers of batter in shades of blue, yellow, brown, and beige to recreate the subject’s gaze, headscarf, and luminous pearl earring. The background is a deep black, contrasting with the vibrant tones of the figure. The texture of the pancake is visible, with slight cracks and air bubbles adding to its handcrafted nature. The image is a screenshot from a social media platform, with interface icons visible at the bottom.

You are looking at the most beautiful griddle on the face of the earth and you can’t convince me otherwise. Specially engineered for pancake art designs and customized by @wella.bsky.social and I with a grid system, custom paint and sticker decoration. It’s a work of art. You saw it here first.

A pancake art griddle sits on a wooden table, customized with a laser-etched grid overlaying its black surface. The grid is marked with x- and y-axis labels—letters along the horizontal edge and numbers along the vertical—creating a precise coordinate system. The griddle’s frame has been painted a vibrant yellow and is adorned with what appears to be hundreds of tiny puffy stickers featuring an array of adorable characters, including animals, food items with faces, and whimsical designs. The background reveals a crafting workspace with a green cutting mat, beaded keychains, a glass jar with paintbrushes, and resin art pieces embedded with intricate pancake designs. A person wearing a striped sweater with red embroidered details is partially visible in the upper left corner. The scene exudes a playful, handcrafted aesthetic, blending precision with charm.

This is a screenshot of a text conversation with ChatGPT detailing the meaning of a hexagram from the I Ching.

Hexagram 36: 明夷 (Míng Yí) – Darkening of the Light
• Theme: A time of adversity when noble or wise individuals must protect themselves because corrupt or unworthy people hold power.
• Imagery: The sun (light) sinking beneath the earth (darkness), symbolizing wisdom and virtue being suppressed by ignorance or corruption.
• Advice: When the “inferior” or unworthy are in power, it is wise for the superior person to withdraw, adapt, and protect their inner integrity rather than confronting the situation head-on. Resistance would be futile or even dangerous. Instead, one should wait for the right moment, knowing that all cycles eventually change.

@mishellbaker.bsky.social hey I’m a week late but I made you this! Pancake art of The Unreliable taking flight!!

The artwork on the pancake depicts the spaceship Unreliable flying through space, surrounded by planets and stars, with the caption “Against All Odds, The Unreliable Takes Flight” written at the bottom. The pancake is placed on a white paper plate. In the background, a phone screen displays the reference image for the artwork, along with various art supplies and tools on a striped tablecloth.

Let’s build a better carnival Posted by u/blockchainsocialist on r/cryptoleftists

A Reddit post from the ‘cryptoleftists’ community features a screenshot from Hacker News. The post includes a comment by user ‘notacoward’ from November 9, 2017, discussing entrepreneurship using a carnival game analogy. The comment explains that middle-class kids can afford one throw, with most missing, some winning small prizes, and very few hitting the bullseye. Rich kids can afford many throws, allowing them to keep trying until they succeed, then attributing their success to hard work and meritocracy. Meanwhile, poor kids are not playing the game; they are the ones working at the carnival.

It really do be like that sometimes

A light blue background features a rollercoaster track illustrating the emotional ups and downs of the creative process. Small black stick figures ride red rollercoaster cars, each labeled with different emotional states. The first peak has a figure raising its arms, saying ‘This is awesome!’ As the car descends, the next label reads ‘This is tricky!’ Further down, it says ‘This is shit!’ At the lowest point, the figure slumps over, saying ‘I am shit!’ As the rollercoaster ascends again, the next label reads ‘This might be ok.’ Finally, at the new peak, the figure raises its arms once more, exclaiming ‘This is awesome!’ The image is credited to Thomas Gläser, Delightex (2015).

Surprised I’ve never seen this argument made this way before.

Screenshot of a Reddit thread on r/AskMen. First comment says “it was an overreach of power, let the states decide, most states have laws in affect that governs abortions already” (username censored), with -75 downvotes. Response says “States getting to decide is an overreach of power, let’s go a step further and let cities and counties decide. Or fuck it, however about the individual household or family gets to choose. Or maybe, just maybe, the woman gets to decide what to to with her body” with 114 upvotes.

I do text all the time, it’s tricky but I take pride in it!

A screenshot of a pancake sitting on a black griddle. The griddle has a grid etched into it, and the pancake has been illustrated using colored pancake batters. It showcases an absurd meme with the distinctive architecture of a brutalist KFC (Kentucky fried chicken) and in the style of image macro memes the text “what if we kissed at the brutalist KFC” has been rendered in the foreground. The pancake showcases a firm representation of concrete, strong angles, and the greenish ochre of water damage over many years.

I believe I am one of the most skilled pancake artists on the planet. I am pretty sure I was the very first professional ones, and most of the other good ones I directly taught.
