Oh dang, even the AI video version on FrazierKay’s Twitter and TikTok looks really plausible. The only tells that it’s fake are the 5 second video length and originating on a feed with other AI versions of Call of Duty maps.

I still kick on the HTML5 port Webamp every now and then. It’s a relic of a time when we tried to make apps look like their equivalent home electronics.

Asking Trump to read a chapter from the Bible is like asking ChatGPT to count to 200. He is incapable of speaking that long without making stuff up. If it’s pre-recorded, watch for it to be a deepfake.

Aw man, Learn to Float is already sold out!

Oh, thank you! I tracked it down further and found your neighbor’s Facebook post.

There really wasn’t any wind at all, so I’m impressed the pilot found a place to land. During the jump, the crew had to pull the balloon around your house with those ropes.

@[email protected] Wow, how surreal! I wonder if any of the local cameras caught the balloon descent and tight landing on video. You are really lucky. I’m glad the balloon and passengers made it out of there unharmed. You had a nice block party gathered around at the end there.

Edit: This balloon made a similar emergency landing in 2019

Indeed, she could’ve been a national hero.

ImgOps. Add imgops.com/ to any random image URL on the internet and get quick links to a bigger version, look it the source on SauceNAO, or search Google, Yandex, or TinEye. I always run art through ImgOps before posting here.

Found it! I’m convinced it came from this Instagram post from March 2021.

Oh yeah, Yandex is another tool in my kit. I usually open a thumbnail in ImgOps and try TinEye, Google, Yandex, and SauceNAO.

That’s fair. The hippo’s name is Moyo.

I found it. This was uploaded March 16, 2021 by @[email protected] and I couldn’t find any earlier posts of it. She recorded this video of Moyo the Hippo at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay in 2019. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CMedd44hs5t/

Welcome, fellow PieFed user! Our group is smaller, but that means you can have a bigger impact here. If you don’t see enough of a type of content, try to post some here yourself. A little push can send us far.

My community’s most popular post in 4 months breaks our rules 1 and 2 about giving creator credit. I’m letting it stand because people like it, but now I’ve got to track down a source of a video someone took on a phone at a zoo and resolve the broken rules myself.

Duolingo has AI slop lessons, but this widget isn’t AI. They use weird eye-catching art like this all the time. It’s that way by design.

Kbin was once more promising than Lemmy, we didn’t know how hard it was to keep a Kbin instance running, and the mighty PieFed wasn’t here yet. We couldn’t imagine that kbin.social, lemm.ee, and lemmy.fmhy.ml all wouldn’t last. Instances also defederated each other far more commonly back then. Art communities were just getting started here, experimenting with what types of posts work best across platforms. Our disdain for corporate social media united us here, and that disdain has only grown stronger. Yet, [email protected] was once more active than it is now

This is a great example of community response that actually really helps people in need. If you organize something like this, keep it on the down low and don’t advertise it online. [email protected]

I don’t like posing unsourced art here. What I really wanted to post was this GNU-tan version but I can’t find a source! OS-tan groups are unusually bad with stealing art, and I’m afraid the origin is likely lost to link rot.

My hometown is named after Christopher Columbus, and even we got rid of most of our statues of him years ago.
