When you see AI art, the deepest question you can possibly ask is how the algorithm worked to create it.

Not even kidding when I say that this graffiti has more meaning and depth than literally any AI art.

Pigeons arrive in the background, the female says "Ope! Here comes the herd" There is a long horizontal frame of the two sparrows in the midst of a bunch of pigeons cooing around them. The male then says "gentle giants" the female agrees "mhm" and then says "coo" and the male responds "haha. coo!"

Oh right, I'm on the internet, I can link to things lol.
www.renpy.org
If you ever do decide to try it, I recommend looking into RenPy. It's a free visual novel maker that uses Python (generally regarded as being easy to learn).
Imo it's a great entry point for artists, since most of the work is the art/writing, and the code can be as simple or as complex as you like.

18.01.2026 16:12 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Many old systems used to store the year as 2 digits, so like "87" => "1987".
This was a time when every byte of data was precious, and also, 2 digits fits nicely into a single byte (max of 255), which kept the code simple.
To these systems, 2000 == 1900, which caused all sorts of weird issues.

I hate being the guy yelling "source???" but better safe than sorry. I appreciate it!
Is there a source that this is actually from DDG? It uses their branding, but I can't find any press/links from DDG about this and anyone could have registered that domain.
I voted No anyway tho. yolo.
It isn't often that someone hits on my exact sense of humour. This is amazing lmao.

I wonder how much of this debate is people drawing on whiteboards vs people drawing on desks tbh.
Not to even mention people drawing on Superscape Do3D (1998), of course.
I used to think of Z as "up" until I played Minecraft (years ago), and I honestly can't remember why that is.
I guess it's because when I draw something 2D, I think of the axes as X and Y. Then when I visualize something coming "up" off the page, I call that Z.

Have you picked up one of these recently? It could explain why everything around you is suddenly failing, if so.

-they fail
-in failing, their fingerprints get all over the art
-other humans see the fingerprints and find them beautiful, learn something unexpected about the human that created the art which is beautiful
