What the hell kind of scam is this now?

I've been getting a call every day from a different area code about "financing options or some such (I never answer).

Now ... I guess they're gonna try this.
Screenshot of the voicemail section in a smartphone OS, showing the transcription of a voicemail claiming that there is a $99 (the actual voicemail says $999, so good job Google) charge on "my account" for an iPhone (tellingly, at no point does the message identify what account this in regards to)

Recently purchased some keycaps to replace the OEM letters on my wireless mechanical keyboard (my fingers are long and I keep fat-fingering keys). Hoping this helps with accuracy and comfort but for now I'm only noticing that these keys sound different when clicked :(

Don't forget to occasionally check the back of your pantry for rodent infestation.

The birds that come to my house are so funny. The sparrows love to queue up or hang out inside of a hedge bush fronting the side of my garage opening. So sometimes I bump into the bush and startle them (when they quietly cheep at each other it's especially funny) or they poke out like this.

Little known fact: cats are the only animal that evolved from croissants.

Hot take: more bands should do concept albums
Screenshot of album art for Lost in Kiev's "Persona". The song playing is "LifeLooper". The album follows a story around a distraught scientist trying to resurrect the dead through the use of AI

I just got this plant THIS spring, and have replanted it once already. What the hell kind of a plant is this?? It went from a "bushy" shape normal plant to this sprawling, reaching tentacle monster.

It's actually very funny that nature could create something so soft and fuzzy and alluring that also hides very sharp pokey bits and is an obligate carnivore.

Facebook ads are quickly becoming indistinguishable from Twitter or, I presume, Truth Social ads
Screenshot of an ad on Facebook for a company with a generic name, showing a woman bloated with plastic surgery and enormous cans leaning toward the camera and tapping what, I guess, is a syringe and it's some kind of a commercial for weight loss drugs ???

Remarkable that something so soft, round and fuzzy can hide such sharp bits.

I posted this and 2 seconds later it was auto-deleted. If a human person had read this, you'd have to be an abject moron to not see it's satire.

So what keywords are they using here?

Wait until they find out the origin of the word "robot".
Screencap of a block of text from Wikipedia: tl;dr - the word robot comes from a Czech word meaning, basically, "serf" or "indentured servant".

Not sure I want to meet this person, but ... I dunno though?
Photograph of a car in a parking lot covered, literally covered from the roof to the hood to the bumper, in bumper stickers or larger decals. Unclear what most say, but none appear overtly political. However, a few say stuff like "The War on Drugs is a War on the Poor", so ... maybe not a crazy conservative?

COMPUTER: ZOOM AND ENHANCE
Still frame from quoted video share post - cropped in zoom image of the back of Trump's right hand - the video is blurred, but even so, you can see how clearly discoloured and bruised his hand is.

When you're a big kid dove, but still worried about where your mom went.
Photo of a juvenile dove perched on the end of a branch, somewhat camouflaged amongst the branches. Hard to tell if he's curious, or terrified.

"Oh, you thought I had just one baby? You were mistaken, human."
Photograph of a messy ornamental tree, looking up at a slight angle. Hidden amongst the leaves and branches is one juvenile dove stretching its neck out to peer at me. Behind that one is another baby dove, and peeking out from behind that baby is mama dove, one eye real big and inquisitive.

You don't say ... 🧐😳

Multiple paragraphs of text talking about how, in medieval Europe, prostitution was not only common, not only legal, but actually sanctioned and overseen by the Roman Catholic Church (the thinking being that being lustful was less a sin than adultery).

Someone bought a gift for my child through Amazon, and they delivered it like this.
Photograph of a package left at the end of my walkup path closest to the driveway, which is about 25 feet or so away from my door and more or less on "the ground".
