Prices are printed on packaging for many things too, books, magazines, bags of potatoe chips.

So then stores would have to cover the manufacturer price with a higher one just in their store. Which is a waste of time and material if you can just condition a population to ignore the price jump at the register.

Novemugust is what I’ve been feeling since last November.

Must be nice living somewhere dry. I’d just end up with a moldy table a day later.

Stick of gum in a pinch.

Definitely photoshopped. Also found the skinhead celtic cross hidden on the other sleeve.

Pretty sure just photoshopped. The logos are way sharper than the rest of the image and the arm band and sleeve logos are really fake looking.

They did a decent job on the flag I guess though.

We do this with “little libraries” all around the northern US at least.

Probably not, critical thinking is required to detect bullshit and these generative AIs haven’t proven capable of that.

Yeah good point, also you wouldn’t have time to feel the effects, since the water is all going to vaporize, not just dissolved gases in your blood.

Yeah, also the nitrogen escapes (along with the rest of the now gasses too), but I guess you wouldn’t have time to feel those effects.

The added tax revenue would also make the rural places these vacation home are in more sustainable for regular residents. And probably keep local governments and even small hospitals solvent.

And 59 years after landing on the moon we’ve just been watching Space X rockets explode instead of going back on rockets NASA proved it could engineer with slide rules and drafting tables.

I guess you can only go to college for one of the 3 Rs now. Readin’, ‘ritein’, or ‘rithmetic.

Actually it’s Indiana, so it’s probably only religious studies, business, and poli sci that are left.

Plus it too evenly fits the page. There are really only a couple of places the letters are a little closer that work toward making this believable.

But yeah, up close the letterforms are clearly Generative slop.

Doesn’t all the water in us boil. Like instant Bends.

Also aliens who evolved on planets without magnetospheres: “these earthlings are interesting but they seem to get stressed and lumpy in space.”

It’s actually because they started offering syrup filled, whip cream and caramel covered drinks directly on the menu. They were briefly infamous for like 1000 calorie macchiatos.

Little espresso shops had flavor shots before, but the rest were pretty much donut shops that sold regular utility coffee, and the sugar and fat was external (donuts sandwiches and pastries).

One of the few things “AI” is good for, absorbing Karens and Kevins.

Much harder to remove fingers with a scroll saw. Also way tighter curves and blind holes can be done. Plus you can get old ones for almost free off marketplace.

If you can get local fresh eggs you might not need to refrigerate them. We get them from a relative who has a few chickens and more eggs than they can eat to share.

The textures are pleasing, but the lamp floating in the background is weird (much too tall given the perspective of the bench and main lamp), and the subject is too amorphous for my tastes.
