You Want Fries With That Shake? Cafe

Last night I posted a photo that was clearly AI but somehow I missed it. Lemme try again:

Black Hole
@konstructivizm
It seems incredible, but this is a real photograph!
It was taken on July 24, 2024, just seconds before Saturn disappeared completely behind the lunar disk. The image creates the illusion that Saturn is hovering right above Glushko Crater--a young, 43-kilometer-wide crater near the Moon's western limb. Of course, the Moon is 400,000 kilometers away, whereas Saturn is 1.4 billion kilometers away.
The photo was taken by amateur astronomer Chengcheng Xu in China.

Poor little herding puppy is disrespected by the goats who chase him off, but then he remembers he is the descendant of wolves and asserts his authoritah.

Two paddleboarders save a weakening wallaby who somehow got herself swept out into the open ocean.

Oh my goodness -- a tiny tree kangaroo has an even tinier joey in her pouch.

Hippos sleep underwater but raise their heads and take a breath automatically, without waking up. Or so the fedslop would have you believe.

He knows what he did.

These babies are hungry!

These baby deer are also hungry!

Painting a mural to merge with the foliage.

This will make you misty. Poor shelter dog.

The cat is unimpressed and he's right to be unimpressed.

Its always that way. Unless you're Mrs B, who I swear marks on the calendar when hers were changed last. She comes home out of the blue "I got us new wipers for the cars". Uh..ok, I didn't notice mine were bad, is this a timed event?

I saw today that California has strict goat ownership
regulations and registration. I guess there's not enough transsexual goat. We really a second and a half amendment regarding goats.

I recall a story... some ocean lab type thing. They were losing sharks out of tanks and couldn't figure out how.
The octopus was leaving his tank, getting into theirs, and eating them.
Then going home. Spooky!

Doing the math you could drive there in 8-9 months. Not bad considering it probably took some of the "49ers" of the gold rush that long to get to California.

An animal with a rational problem solving brain. But a brain totally unlike an earth bound brain. Unfathomable.

So they're not that smart. Kid coulda kept eating sharks if he didn't bling himself out with a shark-tooth necklace.

38 Are you saying this still isn’t AI? The moon is less than half a millions kilometers from Earth. Saturn is 1.4 billion kilometers from Earth. Rounded to the nearest tenth of a billion, Saturn is also…1.4 billion kilometers from the Moon.

Saturn won’t look any closer from the Moon than it does from Earth - if it’s any closer at all. It will definitely look clearer and brighter - due to the absence of atmospheric distortion, city lights, and all that - but it won’t appear any larger.

A retired couple friends of ours were driving fools, drove all over the US. The wife wanted to go to Hawaii. He told her as soon as they put a bridge in, they'd go. Probably happen before Newsom finishes the high speed rail.
