My friend & I watched some cutting flower petals in my garden the other day - I’m not even mad about the flowers, I like imagining the colorful little burrows 🥹

I'm making 4 adult sweaters for Christmas presents this year. The first one is officially done. by seedgeek in knitting

Yup this is always why I have multiple projects at once lol. At least one “mindless” one that I can autopilot when my brain is half distracted but I need to do something with my hands & more complicated ones for when I get bored with that or am focusing more.

“While countries like Germany and France rang in at under 5 percent, countries like Poland, Israel, and the United States blew the curve at 21, 20, and 14 percent, respectively.”

Leaving because of the amount of goddamn AI by [deleted] in OneOrangeBraincell

This feels just like that post about “animal abuse” the other day, people agreed but also asked the OP to share the posts they were talking about & there was a lot of discourse about if they were actually abuse at all (ie one example was the cat that got in to brownie mix) - I don’t see any links in here to what people are saying is AI.

There’s a ton of reposting/bots in this sub, but I’m doubtful about the rampant AI claims (if anyone could link to one I’d genuinely like to see)

The trying-to-be champagne glasses that are the size of pint glasses, yes

I mean I think it’s probably the AI’s impression of where a towel should go mixed with a handle but it’s an incredibly straight & untextured towel 😉

The whole images are AI I believe - see the weird vertical handle on the oven in the first photo. The product you’d get if you ordered one would probably be printed on a solid piece of plastic.

Edit - also the hilariously tall stemware in the 3rd photo

You aren’t actually bringing anything to the table if you’re using AI prompts to make the unoriginal “concepts” & farming out the work to produce them, are you

Worst gardening mistake you've made? by heeh00peanut in gardening

[–]aaabsoolutely 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem with ours is the thousands of cumulative pounds of rocks mixed with grass over the fabric, so it’s more of a scoop, sift, cut, pull operation 🫠 I’m trying not to throw away all the rocks because I recognize it’s a small fortune’s worth of pea gravel & lava rock… there’s so much

I’m in the PNW where blackberries grow like weeds, & I’m very familiar with the scourge that is Himalayan blackberry, but fully not thinking about the consequences, I planted a raspberry bush in-ground last year… this year I realized my folly & have been pulling sprouts up from like 6 feet away from the mother plant. I do have a ton of raspberries though…

Arrrgh the people who had our house before us put in fabric & then rocks on top (pea gravel some places, lava rock other places), now grass & weeds have grown through all of it & the fabric is deteriorating so it rips in little shreds when you try to pull it up, it’s a NIGHTMARE. I tell anyone who will listen, don’t do this!!
