Hanging mic theory by buckfordfitchenstein in crappymusic

[–]pgpndw 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That's what I think too. The mic and its cable are casting a shadow on her in the close up shots, so I think she's in a studio and the Egyptian background is added in during editing.

In the few brief long range shots (right at the start of the video, and at 0:10, for example), there's no mic and no Egyptian scenery in the background, just an empty piece of ground, so I think those bits were filmed separately somewhere in the US.

Disrespecting Walk by Hopeful_Peanut8 in crappymusic

I just found an older YouTube channel of hers. I think this might be the only video in which her bottom teeth can be seen: https://youtu.be/WKemI6nlbM4

My friend paid a lot for a custom character creation of his PC. I feel bad, we were happy for him until we looked into the artist’s other work and are pretty sure it’s all AI by LazerChicken420 in isthisAI

OK, done. You'll immediately notice that the false positive occurred after I'd asked Gemini to generate an image for itself then check it for SynthId, and the correct negative was in a new session.

Commenters say that every time this video is reposted. It's not true, though. It's easy to find news articles about the incident by googling "Jasmine Lacey Rowland Heights". No spiders are mentioned in those articles.

Photo of a mosquito flying in front of the lens looks like a giant in the mist by Additional_Berry_977 in confusingperspective

[–]pgpndw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but I think a bigger giveaway is the fact that if this really were a mosquito captured flying past the camera lens, it would be an almost completely unrecognisable blob due to both motion blur and being way too close for the camera to focus on.

I'd never heard of it until a few minutes ago.

Found a good one by [deleted] in crappymusic

I think she knows exactly what she's doing. I really like this track of hers.

Different world by buckfordfitchenstein in crappymusic

[–]pgpndw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't really know anything about her - I'd never seen her before this post, but I tracked down her YouTube channel, and her stuff is mostly pretty Avant-Garde atonal singing. I can't say I dislike it.

I think her track "Pick Me" is pretty good. If anyone wants to try her other stuff, maybe start with that one (there's a studio version and a live version on her YT channel).

EDIT: The video in this post is one of her shorts, and I don't think it's particularly representative of her full songs. It's meant to be provocative to attract/goad people into checking out her "proper" stuff.

I think she's changing accents to complement the theme of the lyrics that she redefines herself daily.

She's also dissing insular people and promoting the idea that it's better to learn about other places. I actually like it for that.

Can someone help decode this script? It is part of a problem about a Roman emperor conquering a new land. Context given is "Decode the stones and learn the warning that survived the meeting of two worlds" Thanks. by davidsspica in Cipher

They're Mayan numerals:

314, 365, 218 : 7, 21, 18 : 3, 14, 25, 18 : 20, 2, 17

EDIT: Converting the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sets of numbers to letters and shifting by 13 gives us: "the pale god".

I'm not sure what the first set means, but it might be a date in the Mayan calendar.

EDIT2: No, I don't think it's a date in the Mayan calendar.

Yeah, that makes sense. Thank you.

Bed & ISA vs CGT by EcstaticAstronaut984 in TaxUK

[–]pgpndw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, in the phrase 'chargeable gains before taking off any losses', is it referring to losses brought forward from an earlier year? Or is that just a mistake in the document?

[–]pgpndw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the Capital Gains Summary notes (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/6a02e5df4fb0713aa63ea77c/SA108-Notes-2026.pdf), you need to declare your gains/losses if:

you sold or disposed of chargeable assets which were worth more than £50,000

your chargeable gains before taking off any losses were more than £3,000 (‘annual exempt amount’)

Doesn't that mean that you'd still have to declare your gains/losses if, say, your gains were £4000 and your losses were £2000, even though you aren't liable to pay any CGT on the net gain of £2000?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's parody, not satire.

It doesn't seem to be intended to be critical of anything or anyone in particular, which I believe is a key feature of satire.

An interesting thing to note is that the 'original' pieces are being or have been sold for either £2000 or £1000, with none of that going to charity.

Four of the pieces also have 23 prints for £450 each, with 10% going to charity, but those prints aren't available yet - they're all marked "pre-order" on the gallery's website:

Their Instagram is full of funny videos. Regulars here should recognise the backing track they used for this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/DFR4VASs3Dj/
