The more obvious choice would be to make everyone go dark, instead of setting up nationwide voice mail to pretend everyone is alive. But maybe this way they can keep everyone's communications open while also fooling most of these intelligence gathering methods (someone answered, in the right language, mark it as active).

Not really early Germanic though, because every other Germanic language kept the meaning of "animal". It's only modern English (since the 1500s) that narrowed it all the way to one specific species (or family of Cervidae).

My guess would be that the language gained the word "animal" from French and "deer" was pushed from its niche and forced to specialize?

How strong is that spider that it can lift a turtle? Will one nuke be enough?

Yeah, I was surprised too, I really thought the crop was going to line up. I ended up getting the nose and the watch as close as possible, but as you can see the head needed to be squashed into a little gremlin face.

The reverse image search spotted it well, but it isn't the same image. It's very likely the source where the image generator got its ideas from though: https://lemmy.world/post/31578519/17746077

This looks like the same image at a glance, but like atomicbocks said, it's only proof of the plagiarism in the image generator. It spit out something very close to the original, but the proportions are off.

Here I've cropped it as close as I could get it to the OP's and bridged the last gap with G'Mic morph.

(Animated webp, I can confirm Jerboa doesn't support it.)

It's been AI upscaled, that's why the linework looks so funky.

Edit: no, see my reply to wugmeister

I don't understand why you'd ever need to know this. What is a phylum anyway? Which animals share a phylum? Are bonobos and chimpanzees in a phylum, a family, a class? And what does that tell us about their relation that we couldn't already tell from their characteristics?

Miku is a boy because she's blue. Luka is pink, she's a girl vocaloid.

Be careful, you can't breathe in bubble mountain. This kid was smart and made a little window in a tall and narrow bubble stack, but in a large pool it's easier to lose track of the edge of the bubbles.

I think if you look at child development research, you'll see that kids can learn to do crazy shit with very little input, waaay less than you'd need to train a neural net to do the same. So either kids are the luckiest neural nets and always make the correct adjustment after failing, or they have some innate knowledge that isn't pattern-based at all.

There's even some examples in linguistics specifically, where children tend towards certain grammar rules despite all evidence in their language pointing to another rule. Pure pattern-matching would find the real-world rule without first modelling a different (universally common) rule.

How do prescriptions for glasses even work on your side of the pond? I assumed it was just jargon of a sort, because round these parts I just go to a glasses seller and ask him for his strongest glasses. Then he says "no traveller, my strongest glasses are too strong for you, you can't handle my strongest glasses" and does the eye test with me before making lenses at the proper strength.

Omou again, fucker.

My sides.

And I know it's a copypasta and the bad translation is the point, but "akachan" is way too friendly for "You're fucking dead, kiddo". I'd go for "gaki", which is a common part of weeb lingo and literally means "kiddo", with the same connotations and all.

What is your point? You don't want to swear, but you don't not want to swear either? Maybe sort out your beliefs then.

If you don't want to swear, don't swear. Mildly censoring a swear word to "fck" doesn't accomplish anything. Everyone who reads it knows exactly what it says. And if you go far enough to make it unrecognizable, like "!@#", now you're just pretending to swear, but for what purpose? Couldn't you accomplish your goals by rephrasing to avoid a swear word entirely? (Assuming your goal is to avoid swear words, of course. If the goal is to sound like a cartoon character, consider taking up a funny catch phrase.)

Edit: Oh, and this is missing the original point entirely: the original post said "fkn". That is their freedom of speech. Someone else decided to censor it before sharing. That is not covered under their freedom of speech (well, technically it is, but it's also a clear case of censorship.) If the original post didn't contain any censorable words, that is completely up to the author. But if you share a post and felt the need to inject your personal belief that "fkn" is a no-no word? Nobody asked.

The software exists, it's called Flohmarkt.

The strongest urinators are cicadas, but there's other animals that score higher on the Jet Shape? I guess ~100 Jet Shape must be peak then and everything higher than that is actually a weaker form of urination.

Edit: the labeled dot is only one of many cicadas and some of them score as low as 1.
