jeff goldblum is the type of guy who gets mistaken for gay because he’s jewish. nathan lane is the type of guy who gets mistaken for jewish because he’s gay. stanley tucci is the type of guy who gets mistaken for gay because he’s a mild-mannered italian, which is jewish. seth meyers gets mistaken for jewish because of everything about him. zachary levi gets mistaken for jewish because everyone wants him dead. tom cruise gets mistaken for gay because he is.

wow really good addition here

Canadian with a tragic backstory.

[larkandkatydid]

New local scandal is an old woman who will walk down to her mailbox in her robe, then, when no cars are driving by, lay down next to her mailbox as if she’s fallen or been hit by a car. Tourists will stop, help her up, and walk her to her house. Then, after they leave, she’ll repeat this until she’s bored with it.

Her neighbors have called the cops a bunch but have been told that it’s not illegal to fake being an old lady in peril so soft-hearted tourists or newcomers are nice to you. One of the neighbors sometimes yells “oh, get up, Lois!” at her. But overall local sentiment is that this is at least somewhat enviable levels of not giving a fuck.

[larkandkatydid]

Okay, I want to address the several comments that expressed concern about Lois and want people to treat her with more compassion, because these additional details are funny and also to comfort you that others also are concerned about Lois. One of the neighbors who talked about this on the town Facebook page and who had said they’d called the cops gave basically this caveat: “please don’t tell us to make friends and try to give her attention in a healthier way. We have done this. She doesn’t want healthier attention. She wants to fake injuries to passing motorists.”

But also, good for you, Lois. Hold out for the specific attention that you want.

You’ve seen those photos of dogs snapped through catching a treat, with just the silliest faces? I see those and raise you: a tiger catching meatballs.

This is Kali, a Sumatran tigress at the Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium in Tacoma.

[theswordofdamntheseknees]

Looks to me the tiger stepped on a Lego(s) and the “meatballs” were Photoshopped-in. C’mon, we’ve all made those faces.

What say you, @hatesaltrat , @mysterypinups ?!

[animalphotorefs]

Hey so you might want to check the blog info - this project is completely my own photography, and I am explicitly and rather rabidly anti-AI in sentiment.

I’m not upset or anything, I can kinda see what you mean! If you’re expecting anything cool on the internet these days to probably be fake, yeah, the colors on the meat do look incongruous.

Let’s take a second here and use this as an educational experience for everyone. Fake animal photos are totally an internet scourge these days. If you don’t trust the OP of a post like this saying it’s not AI, how else could you check and try to find out?

Three things to help you verify not slop:

1. There’s a bunch of other photos in series with this one on my website, which allows you to see context for when and how the photos were taken. There’s also other photos of this animal and this habitat in other lighting and weather conditions. That’s generally more work than people will go to if they just want to create a viral photo, and you can look for internal consistency.

2. AI isn’t good enough yet to replicate specific stripe patterns on individual tigers, they get all wonky. The animal and her location are named in this instance and it’s easy to google to see if everything lines up.

3. You can also check to see if the thing in photos actually happens. The meatball throwing demo is a very, very common occurrence at this facility! It’s a regular activity during talks when tigers are in that habitat (it is a multi-species rotational space). They posted a video on their Facebook fourteen hours ago of their curator getting a direct shot into a different tiger’s mouth.

In general, it’s good to be skeptical these days! But it’s also useful to know how to check some of the things that will help you find out what’s real and what isn’t.

[why-animals-do-the-thing]

Hah, okay, I just realized that I just assumed this post was one from the Repository account and reblogged the educational stuff from there instead of WADTT. Don’t blog in the first few minutes after you wake up, folks!

So, to caveat what I had said, the first option would be a good way to check if the photo had been posted on the right blog - the one with a photo website attached. Coming from the WADTT blog you’d want to use the other two options. 🙃

[seabeck]

Oh hey I've gotten to see and photograph this, it's very real!

This was Raj however who was in the habitat that day

Does your hand cramp up when you write by hand, and are you left or right handed?

I'm left-handed, and my hand cramps when I write

I'm left-handed, and my hand doesn't cramp when I write

I'm right-handed, and my hand cramps when I write

I'm right-handed, and my hand doesn't cramp when I write

I only write with my feet

DEFECTOR HAS TAKEN UP THE MANTLE

[farenmaddox]

I have just found. the COOLEST website???

Lost Kitchen Scrolls

It has a huge variety of historical recipes from different regions, taken from manuscripts, transcribed and translated, and a whole section of notes about the context for the recipe. It's really fun and I AM going to try a couple of these recipes.

Look at how this lamb recipe is presented:

This is just such a fun way to learn more about historical foodways and discover traditional cuisine.

Look at all the filters you can use:

Maybe if I can forage some good blackberries this year, I can make a 300 year old recipe for blackberry wine!

Anyway. Check out Lost Kitchen Scrolls.
