There's something cute about the way the description admits to the painting being based on guesswork

They used to do a good line in that with animals.

Those pictures that you posted, Samson, do look as if somebody had heard or read a description without much detail and had then drawn a picture that meets those specific criteria. E.g. the hippopotamus has tusks, a tail and a weird snout.

It's a lot like some of the downright weird results I got from trying to feed lines to an image-generating artificial ‘intelligence’ about two weeks ago.

Darned wokeness strikes again!



By the way, are these sorts of postings allowed in this thread?

 

[r16]

isn't that supposed to come with pictures of mud huts in Africa to compare ?

Le Corbusier—Master of Wokeness!

Obviously, kneeling football players traveled back in time and stopped all classical European architecture. What madness!

I hear the Bezos-Musk feud is heating up.

I will settle this contingent upon the amount of money received. Whoever gives me the most wins! My appreciation is something money can’t buy.

Apparently it can easily be bought.

Do neo-Nazis answer the phone with “heil Hitler”?

…do people still make phone calls?

Apparently it can easily be bought.

You’re not supposed to point that out.

Eh, pretty close

I made several yesterday. The "H-word" never came up, though.

It might be the painkillers from a visit to the dentist, but I just read that as ‘whoever gives me the most twins’.

Okay, I has a bemoozment.

I bought a plush African penguin today (the species with the pink markings around the eyes). Someone in the store said that since I like penguins, I must be from the East Coast (ie. the Maritimes). They don't have penguins in the wild there.

I said no, so he said I must be from the West Coast (ie. Vancouver). They don't have penguins in the wild there, either.

I said no, I was born right here in Red Deer (which is nowhere near any coast; Alberta is landlocked). I just like penguins.

Then both the clerk and I realized that he was just really confused as to where penguins come from. Southern hemisphere, in the wild, zoos in the northern hemisphere. And he was one of the people running the store!

 

[Takhisis]

Hmmm. He might have mixed them up with puffins.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Could've, yeah. But African penguins don't look anything like puffins.

Bug repellent smells awful and, like bad emotions, it attacks what you don't like.

You might have asked him on behalf of a friend about buying an Antarctic polar bear ?

This was in a store that sells plush toys, both the cartoony kind and the realistic-looking kind. Most of the penguins in my collection are the realistic-looking kind, and so are most of the other animals. I've got a couple of whales, a puffin, some dogs, and a bunch of pet rocks that are painted to look like cats. There are some others - teddy bears, of course, a tuxedo cat, some rabbits, and a purple dragon. Those are part of my Fuzzy Knights collection.

No polar bears at all, unless you count the cookie tin the Penguin Place sent by mistake - that has a lamentable scene of a penguin, an igloo, and a polar bear. That sort of thing is godawful annoying.

Sort-of like Paddington?
