Any list that has Woody Allen on it twice and isn't labelled "People who won Oscars for the movie Annie Hall in 1977" is a very worrisome list.

Alright, me. You win, I'll get out of bed and drink coffee.
Scuff that bad boy up, drop a bit of grease on it, throw a handful of dirt at it from 12 feet away, and you've upgraded to the platinum+ Crime License.
Extra points if you're wearing chunk khaki colored work boots.

They also happen to be my names, but surely that's coincidence.
As with most content flagging systems I am sure it's a combination of automated processes that are attempting an impossible task and bad actors abusing the system.
07.11.2025 00:22 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0About 12 extremely cute rats photoshopped together to look like one cute growth of rats, in others words: A rat king. Underneath the rat ball are the words "It's good to be king" written in playful hand drawn looking block lettering that is yellow with a gold outline. The biggest rat has a yellow and orange messy hand drawn crown and brownish aviators. Several messy hand drawn purple hearts are artfully scattered around the picture as to appear casually placed. A pair of gold and orange stars flank the lettering. It's very cute energy, objectively. You can't lie in alt text.
This just in, I make daily rat memes and decided I want to share them sans explanation.

If you set a label to warn, thinking it's reasonable to want warning, and a reply to a post has that label, it will *hide the reply entirely and not tell you why unless you unhide it.*

Contrasting levels of detail is part of what gives visuals depth, AI images and video tend to look and feel very "flat" because of this.
You can apply the same idea to photos and videos, but at that point it becomes more an intuitive sense.
Trust your gut.
Humans are experts at noticing patterns, both where they break, and where they are abnormally perfect.
Listen to that doubting voice in your head, but don't witch hunt, please.
A good example is when you look at AI generated art.
If every inch of the image is the same level of detail, it's likely AI.
Real human artists tend to focus their efforts on the important parts of a piece and not exhaustively detail every flower petal.
This is especially true with "anime" art.
This is a good space for me to point out a few tells with AI that many people don't recognize.
Many people look for imperfections, but those are the easy things to hide.
Look for things to be *too perfect* as well.
Humans mess up, technology has limits, light can only be so good.
I am unreasonably angry that there is a "Cheeseburger in Paradise" food item on their menu and it is in no way a cheeseburger.

I promise you there were some dork shots from this photoshoot that we are not seeing.
Also, regardless of wether Rivers is actually EGG, you've openly accepted yourself, which is so much better.
