my basic “should I use generative AI” rules:
* the 3 D’s of automation are Dirty, Dull, & Dangerous, and Dull is the only one applicable—so stick to that
* dont use it for any task where doing it yourself would improve your skill at that task
* “hard to guess, easy to check” format + ALWAYS CHECK

as described, really. the bulldog is standing in the doorway staring at me. the wooden bulldog is just outside, also staring at me.
Perfect storefront:
1) it’s called III Antiques & Thangs
2) there’s a bulldog
3) the bulldog has his own identical wooden bulldog

Der Comic besteht aus zwei untereinander angeordneten Bildern. Die Protagonisten sind ein einfaches Strichmännchen und ein personifiziertes Gehirn mit Armen und Beinen.
Im oberen Bild sitzen das Männchen und das Gehirn am Boden. Das Gehirn hält Hammer und Meißel in den Händen.
Das Männchen sagt motiviert: „Hey Hirn, lass uns an meiner Lebenseinstellung arbeiten!“
Das Gehirn antwortet abwehrend: „Zu spät, die hab ich längst für dich in Stein gemeißelt.“
Im unteren Bild stehen beide vor einer großen, grauen Steinplatte, die fast das halbe Bild einnimmt. Das Männchen starrt mit leerem Blick darauf.
In den Stein ist folgender Text eingemeißelt: „Alles beknackt, Doppelhass, ihr könnt mich mal, hab keinen Bock, lasst mich pennen, scheiße.“
Das Gehirn betrachtet sein Werk zufrieden und sagt: „Ach wie hübsch! Das bist eindeutig du.“

Licorice/fruit flavor combinations are actually quite good.
Danish and Finnish manufacturers also have some great tasting varieties ❤️

Title: A Valentine’s Day experiment
In an effort to test the efficacy of cupids arrows of desire.
A placebo group is shot with regular arrows.
Their injuries range from moderate to sever.
Unexpectedly, romances struck up in hospital and lawyers’ waiting rooms create a "romance ratio" similar to that of magic arrows.
However, once the cost of compensation claims is factored in, it is decided to discontinue.

An 11 panel cartoon featuring a bottle of craft beer called Oliver coming home and being greeted by his mother (also a bottle of beer) who has been worried about him. It transpires that Oliver has had a "punk" makeover and his label now reads Piss Chimp. On reluctantly turning around his mother sees that his rear label is now full of phrases describing his flavour such as "Vanilla Headbutt" and "Brutal Fruit" and comments "your lovely back, it's covered in bollocks!" At this point Oliver/Piss Chimp runs upstairs sobbing and shouting "it's who I am!"

Das Bild ist horizontal zweigeteilt.
Im oberen Bereich steht in großen Buchstaben das Wort „VALENTINSTAG“. Darunter befindet sich eine dichte, chaotische Anhäufung von vielen rosa und orangefarbenen Herzen. Einige dieser Herzen haben Gesichter, Arme und Beine und wirken überdreht fröhlich. Sie tummeln sich direkt über einem Kanaldeckel im Boden.
Im unteren Bereich, der von schwarzem Erdreich umgeben ist, sieht man einen weißen, unterirdischen Raum. Ein Schild an der Wand beschriftet diesen als „Anti-Valentinstags-Schutzbunker“. Eine Leiter führt von dem fest verschlossenen Kanaldeckel hinab in den Raum. Dort sitzt eine kleine Strichmännchen-Figur mit weit aufgerissenen Augen allein auf dem Boden, abgeschottet von der Herz-Masse an der Oberfläche.

OP: farming in traditional and indigenous methods is what will SAVE the planet this capitalistic ass lie should disgust everyone"
quoted post: Bill Gates, intends to completely re-engineer the entire global food supply, to
artificial, "non-agricultural" methods of production which do not require "vast
amounts of land" under the guise of "saving the planet".
I have immense respect for indigenous cultures. However, it is deeply impractical to feed 8+ billion people sustainably and reliably without high-tech industrial agriculture.
Ultimately, this is just reactionary, conservative pastoralism wrapped in leftist framing.

Assassins dispatch Musk’s security and enter his bedroom. Elon awakens and, with cat like reflexes, knocks over the tower of half-empty Diet Coke cans on his nightstand, pulls the trench knife from the wall, and rushes his assailants. He slips and stabs himself directly in the testicles.
