My cat does not need help looking like a doofus, he can do that all on his own!
I think this may explain why this cursed... thing turned up in the middle of my tablet photos. I thought about asking about it at the time but I thought everybody would just say I had used AI to create it and was lying about it for clout.
Does anyone know what these things are? I bought them on eBay as beard / dread beads but though they're about the right size, they have a closed base and I have no idea what the hooks are for. Please share with anyone who might know, thank you!
I think *part* of the confusion I've seen about this has to do with 'professor' being an earlier career job title in US universities than UK ones, but it makes me wonder how many unremarkable conjobs have found places in academia without anyone invoking this comic. imgs.xkcd.com/comics/how_i...
Awww, she looks like my beloved late Koshka, who I used to describe as a Siamese drawn by someone who had never seen one. She was smart enough to open the fridge & scared of everything except other cats, who she would drive off by crouching menacingly and making a noise like an eldritch car alarm.
Giant fluffy cat update: while his brother stays in the shade under the bed during the daytime, he continues his usual toddler-like routine of 'explore, return to lap for cuddles, shout incomprehensibly, sleep, repeat'
Hello Scarlet, I remember meeting you when you were a baby. Giant fluffy cat's name is Sherlock and this is his brother Mycroft.
Me: do you really want to sit on me in this weather, giant fluffy cat? Giant fluffy cat: what kind of question is that of course I do
I made a mad LARP scarf thing because why be normal when you can be extremely extra. I say LARP scarf, come winter I will probably just wear it out and about.
Mushroom Pride necklace Whether you have no gender or are compatible with thousands of them I support you
I made hair spirals. Excuse all the cat hair, I did my best but I have two very affectionate, very fluffy cats.
In this bonus picture we see AI's existential confusion about jars containing... foodstuffs? and jars containing candles, and also the Holy Grail caught in the act of disguising itself as a potted plant.
4. Hoo boy. I'm just going to give this my best shot. 2,6,1,3,4,5,D,0,1,18,16,1",7,18,19,12,18,13,10,10,13,12,12,17,12,30,28,24,31,22,25,24,23,23,25,23,24,23,28, THE CLAWS OF OUTRAGED TIME ITSELF BREAK THROUGH THE PAPER. Better call Mgifit.
3. Road. Fix: Set. 1, Mgifit, 3, n, 5, 10, 15, 75, 16, 11, 16, 28, 29, VAGUE BLUR DAY, 2, VAGUE BLUR DAY (CONTINUED), 30 (but in red) 29 (but in red) 251 These people are having terrible trouble with their temporal flow and want Mgifit to fix and set something called the Road to sort it out.
2. Planet 25. They really like 25 here & it is the... Year of the Boneless Malteser? Pomegranate! 1,2,3,4, NAMELESS DAY OF WOE, 11,5,8,6,7, NAMELESS DAY OF OTHER WOE, 25,25,20,25,20,5. I think this was created by a child who wants more Christmases in the month & no bones in their Maltesers.
And now a thread on the many terrible AI calendars I encountered in the pictures from one (1 ) Etsy listing. 1. The planet of the 12 day month, which probably suffers from a lot of tidal trouble what with the moon zipping about like that. 1, 2, 3, 4, Other 4, 5, 15, 6, 10, 31, nu, 20.
Happy twelfth birthday to these beloved idiots, who intend to celebrate by carrying their cat toys around the house and shouting, sleeping in boxes, and in Mycroft's case purloining socks.
Other people's lucky beckoning cat statues have drums or gems but mine has a catnip mouse. Possibly he wants to welcome lots of catnip into the household?
