“finished with a classic doughnut-style hole”

That robs you of cookie! That’s a clever cookie saving technique!
A screenshot from the Crumbl cookie app of a donut shaped cookie described as “A soft vanilla cookie crowned with a luscious pink glaze and rainbow sprinkles, finished with a classic doughnut-style hole!”

To further prove this point it looks like a genAI, having hoovered up all facets of our language, has no problem understanding this either...
A screenshot of ChatGPT, where I have asked it to visualize Zach’s “icemerpuppycorn” and it has done so quite successfully by creating an image of a dog whose back half is fish like, has a unicorn style horn, and is surrounded by ice.

These anti-homeless bench designs are getting ridiculous.
A bench that has been cut in such a way that there is no middle section at all, upon which to sit and has caution, tape strung across it and a traffic cone as if to protect people from trying to sit down on the nonexistent bench.

Another Vex Via competition today! #robotics
Faruq, the announcer from the TV series Battle Bots, making his signature announcement. Text on the image says “It’s robot cooperatively solving a gamified engineering challenge time”, where part of the text is overlaying the original word “fighting”.

Apparently the UPS makes an extremely high-pitched sound, so every time the power blips it freaks out poor Lily #doggo.

“I can’t wait until the end of August when the weather starts cooling down”…….
A screenshot from my Weather app showing that the next week is going to go from 80s to over 100 because we’ve ruined this planet

Ha!
Description generated by AI: The image shows a wooden display cabinet with glass doors. Inside the cabinet, there are shelves that hold several disposable plates, bowls, and red plastic cups arranged in a neat but peculiar manner. The disposable items are placed as though they were fine china or valuable items, which creates a humorous contrast. The caption above the image reads, "We follow the customs of our elders, but we have forgotten why," implying a humorous take on how traditions can be carried on without understanding their origins or significance.

Thanks ChatGPT, that’ll do. #ai
A screenshot of the ChatGPT app. The user has provided a picture of a corn snake in its terrarium with red light and asked the app to describe the image with “wrong answers only”. ChatGPT has responded with “It's a giant, overcooked piece of spaghetti that's been left in a sauna for too long.”
