Why is brain, WHY
It's Tom Bombadil, but instead of the traditional bralette he's got two of the face from darth's pfp crudely pasted on.

Oh, no. These are the guys we had killed in '99. XP is descended from the Windows NT, and THOSE devs look like this:

The "say the line, bart!" meme from the Simpsons, with text changed to: "Say the line, Mark!" "You peasants are nothing without me, nothing" mad cheering

And this is the skull of the devil as described in the current Oglaf (www.oglaf.com/wishbone/). He won't genocide you, but don't accept any deals from him!

One more piece of evidence to support my theory that the Manuscript is actually a catalog of 1980s-era newspaper comics. Look, this one is obviously about Garfield!
A page from the Voynich Manuscript, depicting some sort of plant-like thing with lots of green blobs, with the usual text stuff written around it.

now with even more hideous DANGER
A busy farmer's market... with giant hideous spiders drawn on the booths, in very bad MSPaint. I guess they're spiders, five legs is spiders, right?

And here's the unedited version, showing the real terror of living in the Pacific Northwest:
A nice photo of some people walking in Portland, with a giant tyrannosaurus crudely scribbled in. The tyrannosaur is also missing a leg.

Putting Lander up there wouldn't be quite right, but it needs a lil' something...

They can spin their own acrylic yarn! Just set up one of these in the kitchen.
The setup for polymerizing acrylic liquid before it is spun out into fiber via spinnerets. It's a LOT of pipes going every which way, and a couple of 1950s-looking control consoles with buttons and stuff, and a big round object that's probably called something like "The Reactor." The whole gizmo is about twenty feet square.

I mean, just look at it! You put this in the water, and push it about one MiG length forward, and it's going to suck in about one MiG volume of water and go straight down.

No idea how the boat dealer got the thing.
A MiG-21 fighter, nose number "4128," on the tarmac. No visible national markings so probably privately owned.

You just need one of these
A genAI image of a pencil. The point is pointing about fifteen degrees out of line, the ferrule is way too long, there's a bit of ferrule at the point end. Also it's round not hexagonal, so would be totally useless for rewinding a cassette tape.

This fidget puzzle has a distinctly odd failure mode.
A cube puzzle, like a Rubik's Cube but the corners are gears and you rotate them around each other to scramble or unscramble the colors. One of the gears has gotten misaligned by a tooth, so it's cranked over a little even though the entire puzzle is "solved."
