PeriodicallyPedantic,

I thought the juxtaposition of horror game merch in the middle of a section of toddler toys section in a Walmart was pretty funny, but eye of the beholder and all that

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Gross
But considering the current state of Google search, not as gross as it was.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I kind of agree. I’m not a pro but I’ve been using gimp to do little bits of editing (mostly to make slack emojis and memes) for a few years, and I constantly encounter little things that seem like they should be simple and intuitive, but are not.

I haven’t used Photoshop in over a decade, but I feel like I rarely felt the same frustration regarding basic tasks.

prompt on copilotmake an image of a centaur that is half horse and half sailor moon

Not what I was originally going for, but then I remembered hearing about how AIs all seemed incapable of making centaurs, and I had to try it. I’m glad I did.

I was originally trying for something like this, themed after the “one can only tell the truth and the other only lie” puzzle:

But that led me to this other gem, that I had to share: https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/ae91b758-2892-42e8-ad71-630181481a4f.jpeg

Which eventually lead me to try to make Popeye cosplaying as sailor moon, but I discovered that Bing doesn’t know what Popeye looks like

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Kerrigan? Is that you?

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Fun fact, the vast majority of the mass of a plant is extracted from the CO2 in the air, not from matter in the ground.

Trees mainly appear out of thin air

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Funny, but also some pretty glaring omissions. You can’t get everyone, but Putin seems like a pretty obvious one to include.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I feel like these are the war criminals for pretty much every conflict.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Last I remember, serif fonts were easier to read on physical mediums, and sans was easier on digital mediums. Never learned why though so, grain of salt and all that

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I think I did you a disservice with my theme description, I think all of your pictures would qualify as unexpected! I was a bit vague because I didn’t wanna dampen creativity, but I fully considered “astronauts that aren’t human” to be unexpected to a (hopefully) human audience.

In either case, I love it!

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Well, it’s certainly unexpected! And that’s exactly what I asked for 😜

PeriodicallyPedantic,

The submissions are in and the results have been tabulated.
Everyone did an amazing job, but there can only be one two winners!

Congratulations to @thelsim and @M0oP0o who tied for first place!
Since thelsim got to choose the theme fairly recently, I’ll make an executive decision and grant next week’s theme to M0oP0o! Good luck, I hope you can choose better than I did 😜

The podium finishers are:
1st @thelsim: 4
1st @M0oP0o: 4
3rd @cloudless: 2
3rd @Ziggurat: 2
3rd @Itrytoblenderrender: 2
3rd @allo: 2

PeriodicallyPedantic,

We should probably make a rule about who gets to choose the next week’s theme, if there is a tie for first or the winner already got to pick recently 🤔

PeriodicallyPedantic,

This was my favorite submission of the contest, good job! I love it, so cute, so colorful, so surprising to see an animal as an astronaut at a dance party in space!

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I picked this as the most original of the submissions for this contest. Even if you couldn’t get exactly what you were going for, having a moonlet cosplaying as sailor moon was certainly unexpected!

Justice Department says Boeing violated deal that avoided prosecution after 737 Max crashes (apnews.com)

The Justice Department has determined that Boeing violated a settlement that allowed the company to avoid criminal prosecution after two deadly crashes involving its 737 Max aircraft, prosecutors told a federal judge on Tuesday....

PeriodicallyPedantic,

I assumed this was in the context of paying recurring bills rather than shopping. Agree with you about stuff like groceries.

PeriodicallyPedantic,

My VPN sometimes sends me reminders and special offers when my contact is almost up, for example. Mobile phone data usage reminders and warnings. Even just reminders that they’re going to be charging your card on payment day.

But mainly I don’t wanna leave home so paperless has already won for me lol

PeriodicallyPedantic,

Thank you!

This was another great contest and theme. I’m really gonna need to think to come up with something good!
