They’re taking our memes!

Oh, no need to remind me, I’m not even a former but a current redditor. I just find the idea of the little reddit alien being a pest funny. Maybe precisely because I’m still on the site…

Truly a cursed way to underline a word, is there no better way to do it on Lemmy?

Now his arms are short, wtf 😓

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯

Turns out it takes three slashes, one has to block the underscores from italicising the middle

It’s not going to make much of a difference for me either way, I don’t like people just because they’re sexy.

You dropped an arm there, btw, here you go: \

Make sure you reinforce it this time, type it like this: \\

So, it has to be admitted that there’s no strong, direct evidence for it. The main argument in that thread is that he’s supposed to have some scarring, but none of the other photos from the time period show them either, so the guy just concludes they all must’ve been edited.

And yes, the look is somewhat different from the other photos, mainly the eyes, more widely open than on the other pics. But people can hold different facial expressions…

You actually understood it better than I did, and I posted it, lol

Yeah, I’d like a source too. The pic has been floating around a lot, first time I hear it’s edited.

This version is on Wikipedia, no mention of it being modified (it looks different from the one in OP but as far as I see just due to sharpness and contrast):

Ngl I saved this meme a long time ago. I remembered I found it funny, but as I was posting it here I realised I forgot who’s the guy in the lower right. Some right wing shithead, but I just couldn’t remember the name.

So, thank you for reminding me of Sam Hyde 👍

Just set your device clock to a day before 8/23, problem solved.

True, but that would be resolved by checking the output, picking the one result that works reliably, and sticking with it.

So for clock software this should be good enough (ok, not really, since the clock should know the location of the user and adapt according to the timezone and daylight saving switches, etc., I doubt AI can nail that down as easily).

On the other hand, there’s been many stories of frustrated AI users who complained that changes to the models broke their workflow. I haven’t heard such stories in a while, however, perhaps they’re kept more stable these days?

Even frontier models are not yet strong AI

I believe that would require a whole new paradigm of how AI works, the sort of shift that won’t be achieved by mere refinement of the current models. So I’m not expecting surprises on that front right now. On the contrary, what has surprised me the last time I tried to use ChatGPT is that it produced ungrammatical sentences with incomplete words. That’s a sort of “chickenpox” issue that should’ve been fixed long ago by now…

A solid part of them work well, it has to be admitted. And some are entertainingly bad…

Tbh it does slightly surprise me, because I got the pic from Nyazsche’s bluesky, whose type of humour is very 196-coded

And you’re doing well!

Ah… I’m deleting this bullshit now.

Ah, the heaviest artillery of art criticism: food comparisons.

Ohh, I like that idea!

The direction is the trickier part of the problem. Bending over seems to be the only way to get the water directly hit the asshole, although then the asshole water would wash over the rest of your body as well

It is real btw

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roblox_ban_protests_in_Russia

Following the Roskomnadzor’s statement on 3 December 2025, which stated that Roblox would face a national ban in the Russian Federation over content regulations, a series of rare, coordinated public demonstration and digital campaigns, occurred throughout the nation. The protesters were mostly children and teenagers from Generation Alpha and Generation Z. This wave of resistance from Russia’s youngest demographic ultimately forced a rare political retreat by the government, culminating in the Minkomsvyaz officially lifting the ban on 10 June 2026, following over 63,000 official letters of complaint from minors.
