Some tech dipshit. I have two corgis, a cat, fix rats, and one human child, in ascending order of how likely they are to eat me when I die.

A meme featuring a three-circle venn diagram. In the top circle is Prometheus, in the bottom left circle is the Jeff "The Dude" Lebowski from The Big Lebowski, and in the bottom right circle is Saruman scrying into a palantir. The overlap between Prometheus and The Big Lebowski is "Severe liver damage". The overlap between Promethus and Saruman is "Cunning technological fireweilder deity". The overlap between The Big Lebowski and Saruman is "Obsession with large heavy ball." The intersection of all three of them is "I hate the fuckin' eagles, man"

Dr Sarah Cott from the horror movie Smile, grinning in a very unsettling manner at the camera. Her head is tipped forward and her smile only shows her upper teeth, and she is staring directly into the camera. It is unnerving. Below the unsettling grin are the words "welcome to target!"

I've had days like this and the thing that gets me through it is "It doesn't matter how much everyone hates me, I have got to get it together because my dogs are depending on me"

Like, look at these dingdongs, they can't even figure out a chair, they need their stupid asshole father.
Two cardigan welsh corgis sitting in a blue chair. The chair is for a single person and has armrests. The dogs both fit on it but they are clearly uncomfortable. The little merle one in the front has her butt hanging off the front of the chair, and the brindle one in the back looks peturbed.

"make each other dumber" is an S-tier pet dynamic. Definitely applies to my dingdongs
Two cardigan welsh corgis sitting together in a big blue easy chair. Penny, the brindle corgi on the left is staring magestically off into the middle distance at nothing in particular. Maggie, the merle corgi on the right is leaning forward and staring intently out the window left of frame, probably trying to figure out how to pick up a squirrel with her mind and drag it into the house

The scene from The Enigma of Amigara Fault where a character climbs into a hole shaped like him, yelling "Th- this is my hole! It was made for me!". The hole is filled with "Fell for it again award" ribbons, which are like a rough ms-paint sketch of a first prize ribbon; blue rosettes with gold discs and the words "fell for it again award" in black text.

I got to meet a basset hound puppy today, this dog is the best. I've never met a young basset before, I kinda thought they just vat aged them to 10 or 11 before you bring them home.
A brown and white basset hound puppy. He is close to the camera and you can see his big nose and floppy ears A brown and white basset hound puppy, from the side. He is turning his head to face the camera and his giant ears are flapping up like a twirled skirt.

Here's Penny (left) and Maggie (right), my cardigan corgis
Two cardigan Welsh corgis at the dog park. The brindle one on the left is laying on the ground with a tennis ball between her feet. The merle one on the right is standing and facing the camera. Both are panting, it's a beautiful sunny day and they've been having a great time.

Basically this, but as public policy:
A four panel comic. In the first panel, a child has a thoughtful expression. In the second panel, he is hanging up a red blanket on the wall as a backdrop. In the third panel, we see cardboard cutouts. The child is painting a monster face on one of the cutouts. In the fourth panel, we see that the child has drawn monster faces and flames on the cardboard cutouts. He lays in the fetal position, surrounded by images that he deliberately created, apparently terrified of them.

For a good example of the type of garbage that genai is, and why it is so hard to make it do anything useful, google the quote "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it".

It "assumes" you're wrong and corrects you, b/c it mostly shows up as a response to the wrong version.
A screenshot of the Google search results for "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." The AI Overview reads: The quote "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" is often attributed to the philosopher George Santayana, but is actually a misquotation of his actual saying. Santayana's original quote from his 1905 book The Life of Reason was "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," according to the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The quote highlights the importance of learning from history to avoid repeating past mistakes.

Google started using AI for Translate and one time it told me the English translation of "Gedanken" was "throughts", so I'm going to remain skeptical of this use case as well.
A screenshot of Google Translate. The user has entered the German word 'Gedanken. Google has helpfully translated this to the English word 'throughts', which is not a real word, but is instead a misspelling of 'thoughts' caused by ai nonsense

People are being rude to you about this but I want you to know that they're not being rude enough, this sucks complete and total ass. You guys have rocks for brains and dog shit in your souls.

This is Peaches, from my kid's preschool classroom. She is pretty big, I think, a mighty and healthy little cavy.

We had guinea pigs when I was a kid and I adored them, such sweet little friends. I was SO excited to take my kid's classroom guinea pigs home for spring break

definitely have also done this; it's either the 10:30pm phone alarm, or the 5:45am corgi alarm where they take turns making the sad dog fire alarm until one of us gets up. Not barking, but this:

The cultural damage inflicted by cockroach wife syndrome is incalculable
Tumblr user grawly shares two images of a character from a video game. On the left, labeled 'original', is a slightly tan woman in a leather jacket. She has brown eyes and blond hair with pink highlights. She has shoulder armor and some kind of mechanical backpack device. She has a black v-neck t-shirt with visible cleavage. On the right, labeled 'un-tumblrized', is the same character, but heavily edited: the character's skin is lighter, their eyes are now blue, the pink highlights are gone from their hair, which is a lighter shade of blonde. They have a christian cross necklace over their visible cleavage, and the breasts are larger. The t-shirt is replaced with a sports bra. The character now has freckles on their cheekbones. They have a smaller, thinner mouth with more pursed lips. Their nose is noticeably smaller, as is their face, and both have a narrower and more angular structure. In response, tumblr user azzandra says "Every time I see some gamerbro edit of a female video game character to make her 'prettier', I always see something I have mentally dubbed Cockroach Wife Syndrome (in honor of the guy who accidentally conditioned himself to only be aroused by a fantasy of his cockroach wife Ogtha). That is to say, there is a certain subset of gamerbro who interacts so rarely with real women, that his primary touchstone for how women look is fiction: often video games and anime. So when a video game woman looks too realistic--too close to having traits that one might find in real flesh and blood women--this is foreign to them. This is unattractive. They have been jacking it to hentai and blender animation porn for too many years, and have inadvertently conditioned themselves to only be sexually aroused by the exaggerated cartoonish traits of animated women. So now every time I see one such edit, I can't help but think. My. What a coincidence you've made her look more like an anime waifu. Truly dedicated to your cockroach wife."

Image from the manga The Enigma of Amigara Fault, where the man is climbing into a hole in the cliff that is shaped like him. He is saying "th- this is my hole! It was made for me!" The hole has been edited, it is now made up of "fell for it again" awards. The "fell for it again" award looks like a gold medal made in MS paint. It has a blue rosette around a gold circle and blue ribbons hanging down from the rosette. It has the words "fell for it again" in the middle of the gold.

Here's my cardigan corgis Penny (left) and Maggie (right) demanding shredded cheese from me.

I always think back to this tweet about those kinds of dudes
In response to a poll where one in eight men think they could take a point off Serena Williams in a game of tennis, Jason (@longwall26) on Twitter writes: "Confident in my ability to properly tennis, I take the court. I smile at my opponent. Serena did not return the gesture. She'd be prettier if she did, I think. She serves. The ball passes cleanly through my skull, killing me instantly"

Here's my Cardigan Welsh Corgi Penny, from this very morning at the dog park. We were out of town for a bit, so she hasn't been to the park for over a week. She got to lay down in every single one of her favorite mud puddles, she was SO happy.
Penny, a cardigan welsh corgi, resplendent with mud. She is very dirty from laying in mud puddles, and has big patches of grime on her nose, chest, and feet. She is REALLY enjoying herself.
