Apparently this is for a child

A lil baby child

Just teach them to play twinkle twinkle lil star please, they can unlock the secrets of western diatonic harmony when they’re older
Screenshot of chordteacher.com It features a picture of a child’s piano with another overloaded infographic stuck on it Text on the website reads: “I play a little piano, start kids out with music at a very young age and they do well in math class because music is maths it makes there brains…” “Fun and easy to learn, play and teach music chords”

Music is when symbols on circle

This is probably the worst “solve music” graphic I’ve ever seen and I’ve seen a few, who could possibly learn about music from this?
A Facebook advert for CHORDTEACHER.COM The advert is a photo of the world’s most over designed infographic where too many symbols and colours have been smooshed together into a circle that is utterly unparseable

I missed when the internet was just horny people rather than being immediately hit in the face with a scam the moment you try and press an (one, singular) button
Image of a bot sending me a suspicious message about how amazing my music is after I only just uploaded it Text reads: Joelidrey: Just listened to your hits and I must say you're really good at this cos it has a replay value...you're doing great man Me: Which was your favorite chord?

Ink Theory is the best Splatoon band fight me
Album cover for the fictional Splatoon band, Ink Theory. The artwork is painted but modern, with the band members (anthropomorphised cephalopods) looking towards the viewer.

❗️
Photograph of two police officers and a police liaison officer. The two have their backs to the camera, while the middle one is looking directly at the camera. They have a red exclamation mark above their head, like NPCs have in Metal Gear Solid games when they detect you. In the background there is a pro-Palestinian protest.

Abstract art based on photographs of a gull. Text at the bottom reads “Birdflight, compressed” The photographs have been timelapsed and layered. A purple triangular streak in the centre represents the movement of the bird as emphasised by the timelapse and various contrast focused edits. The colour scheme is white and blue highlights, with grey and purple highlights.

Digital art that looks like a record sleeve. The focus is an edited photo of the sky with buildings on either side. The text in the centre reads: "What's on in the sky"

Also a apple
The above picture of an apple, edited to have a noisy, saturated pastel palette, which emphasises the natural skin texture on the apple

I promise there is definitely not a secret message hidden in this RGB noise and the NSA should definitely not waste all of it's computing power trying to find it

I hear electricity in the walls

bzzzzzzzzzzzzz like clockwork my sweet 50hz
A photo of a wall which has been edited for artistic effect. Colour adjustments are used to produce a neon-glow effect which is designed to emphasise wiring and piping. The color palette is purples, blues and yellow for highlights. The focus of the image is a glowing bar sign with the number "33" and some illegible text.

70% apparently!
Photo of a metal bollard (pole) with raindrops on top. The direction of the shot is straight down towards the circular top of the bollard. The picture is edited to make it appear older and to enhance the green light without going overboard, to give the impression of life. There is blue text that reads "Water World" in the bottom right corner

Blue Skies, watching them both fighting
Deaf woman with a post-it note instead of eyes. She is doing the Metal Horn symbol with her hand. The note reads "Blue Skies, watching them both fighting" Deaf woman, not so subtly implying she is a lesbian, with a post-it note on her face. The text is illegible, but it's her signature.
