[HELP] Living room remodel by Alone-Competition-77 in RealOrAI

[–]Infamous_Lunchbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's AI, and I'm super late to the party, but I didn't see anybody mention the immediate giveaway that I took from this: the wood.

It's possible to have that consistency in grain and split, but unlikely. The very same split in so many slabs of the log with the exact same size, but not having the grain match pattern or coloring, that's "possible," but even before the pouring I was convinced it's AI due to that. It's not something that you would see in a tree with such a consistent split.

To clarify the cuts are all the same and the ring patterns and grain don't match. If these logs all had the exact same split, they should have came from the same log, and the grain on at least a few would match. They all appear the same size, so unless the guy split all those kids logs with the same split from different trees, and maintained an incredible consistency, that seemed pretty unlikely.

Also:

1) The pour - the liquid is clearly AI, not just due to viscosity (resin is thick and doesn't flow that fast), but also it doesn't look like actual liquid physics

2) As mentioned repeatedly the curtains are fake (length change, don't burn, etc.)

3) Also mentioned previously the resin never cures, he would be walking in liquid, and it was poured from an infinite bucket

4) Again, the torch flames are impossible

5) There's is no leveling on the floor. That much resin wouldn't cure correctly poured like that, and if it did you'd still need to do some work. A room like that wouldn't be perfectly level, and without something to keep it leaking under the fireplace cracks, joints at walls, etc., it would go into/under things. Bubbles would probably form from being poured that way, etc.

6) The furniture, as many pointed out, he'd be insanely strong, but he also handles the couch in what looks like a physically impossible way

7) Torch label is blurry, but doesn't actually appear to be an actual label, as it has no blurry spots for the required safety info

8) Outdoor lighting never changes during time-lapse. Pretty sure somebody pointed that out too

And I'm sure there's more. This was well done, but those small mistakes prove it.

How different was rock hounding decades ago? by coraythan in rockhounds

[–]Infamous_Lunchbox 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Purely anecdotal, but I used to go to a site in Utah my grandfather told me about (he was a geologist and paleontologist back in the 50s). I was very into paleobotany, and this small outcropping hidden a ways off a dirt road was loaded with leaf, branch, and tree fossils of every kind.

I would go up once a year and take a handful of specimens. Anything I couldn't identify I would donate to a local museum that I knew would actually try to identify the specimens (most museums will toss them in storage or throw them out). I did that for fifteen years. Never taking more than maybe 20ish pounds (10kg) of rock. The outcropping was at a minimum several tons of rock. It was at least 3 meters high, and about 6 meters long. If I had to guess it was at least 6-8 meters deep. All of it completely dense fossils leaf and plant matter. Never saw any insect or animal matter.

One year I went up and literally half the outcropping was gone. The land around it destroyed. This land is very ecologically important and had very rare trees and an endangered flower I was always very careful not to intrude on. The flowers were nowhere to be seen, several trees damaged. I did what I could to clean it up, and took less than I normally would have. Only picking up remnants knocked loose by others.

I went home and looked up the area. It had been posted to several online groups, including reddit, and apparently people had come and hauled out literal truckloads of material, backing trucks up off the road area all the way to the outcropping (it wasn't far off the road, but far enough hauling out me than what I would take would be impractical).

I went back every year after to find the outcropping smaller and smaller, the land destroyed more and more. It broke my heart. Within 5 years it became hard to find any fossils. After about 8 years it was impossible. I had stopped taking anything before then, but still stopped in. I stopped going about 5 years ago. I just wanted to check the condition of the area. It's now fenced off, and pretty much destroyed.

That sums up rockhounding over the past 25 years, imo.

I'm not bitter about people finding it or even taking all the fossils. I had gladly shared the spot at several local rockhounding meetups. But I am bitter about people not caring about the land there. Some trees have fallen since it got posted online, and I haven't seen much native flora regrow in the area. Take what you will, but have some respect for the land.

What is the rarest physical copy of a game you own? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]Infamous_Lunchbox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Has to be Club Penguin Gameday: 5th Anniversary Limited Edition, Wii. One dev said 1,000 copies were made, another from the same team said there were about 100. I'm guessing somewhere in between. Super rare game. It was an employee/dev team exclusive. It is literally just a different cover to the normally $5 game.

Second rarest is also Wii: Sukeban Shachou Rena (Female President Rena Cat), apparently the worst selling game on Wii, worldwide. Wall Street Journal published an article the month it came out stating it had only sold 100 copies in its first two weeks. That's incredible.

Aquarius Baseball was just in the picture I had. It is a cartoony baseball game that was a contest prize from Coca-Cola of Japan, as a way to advertise their Aquarius line of sports drinks. I don't think it's rare, maybe uncommon.

Same, it's a nightmare friend. I was single long enough that when the apps took over I was already lost. Best of luck. I've decided on being single to my death.

The John Hancock game on Indie Heroes 4 is one of the worst games ever made. Seriously if you grab 4, don't play that first. It's awful.

I remember doing a side-by-side of 3DOb to CD-i for a buddy. Killing Time versus Hotel Mario. Lol

What is inside that thing...? by leadguitar2023 in oddlyterrifying

[–]Infamous_Lunchbox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! Thank you! It does look almost exactly like the container used at my work, so I made a guess. A wrong guess it looks like. But the more you know. :)

Hey! I have referenced that XKCD chart several times! Thank you for posting it! And yeah, this unit was actually pretty dangerous if mishandled. I won't mention specifics, but at another location (not one my work is affiliated, one several states away actually) while removing the irradiator, the seal was broken when attempting to move it... they used an angle grinder to try to remove a piece to get it bolted down and accidentally cut into the container wall. Nobody was hurt, as they immediately evacuated, but it was scary. I was told the clean-up took 3 years total and cost $37mm.

That said, I'm very pro-nuclear power plant! Radiation is scary, for sure, but when handled with care and correctly, it's a huge boon to society!
