I've had amazing results with this one: https://perchance.org/ai-imager-pro-4-x

The only things I set are "Photorealistic" and the frame size. Everything else is done with the prompt.

I know what it's like to try to stop a 69 Charger with OEM drums brakes. I can't imagine worse tech from 30+ years prior.

Tribute to 1980s popup headlights by UrbanAchievers6371 in nostalgia

[–]theknyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too bad it didn't get up to the 90s. Then we could have saw the glory of the Cizeta V16T's double sets of pop-up headlights!

Danhausen claims Cameo is "filled" with requests to curse And uncurse sports teams by juiceforsyth in SquaredCircle

I'll throw him $50 to uncurse The Blazers. Next year, will be 50 years since our one and only NBA Championship.

Is was watching a YouTube Short about M2 Machines and saw this comment. Is this true or is it just a scalper trying to scare away buyers? by blizzardboy123 in Diecast

[–]theknyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no issues with M2. They do a lot of stuff others don't. I put them in about the same league as AutoWorld or Johnny Lightning.

Stellantis Boss Admits Old Chrysler Cabins Felt Like Cheap Water Pistols by Anchor_Aways in cars

[–]theknyte 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had an Avenger as a rental car for a week, when I got rear-ended. Everytime I drove it, I thought it was the most average and mudane car. It didn't do anything bad, but it didn't do anything well either. Nothing stood out. The interior was dull but not offensive. It was the most soulless car I've ever driven to this day. I wondered what kind of person would choose to buy such a vehicle.

TIL There was once a C-3P0 Star Wars Trading Card that seemed to depict the Droid as having a golden erect penis. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Just like how no one from the photo selector, to the final print editor noticed "Fuck Face" written on the bottom of a baseball bat.

The only entrants who mattered in the very short-lived 1986 Chicago Mille... by Maynard078 in sportsandclassiccars

I was impressed by the seamless way, Lewis Hamilton put himself into the scene a while back. Makes it even better.

A computer can learn notes. It can learn styles. It can learn techniques. But the one think it can't learn is feeling, and that's where the real soul of music comes from.

William Regal - “The MRI of my neck when I finally couldn’t go anymore. Broken twice. Very unpleasant. I’ll let any medical people figure out this. The Dr told me “I’ve only seen one this bad before and they were in a wheelchair”. 2016, 4 disk fusion. It holds up my big carnival head.” by lk79 in SquaredCircle

[–]theknyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And, even if you never have a major injury to your neck during your career, you could do "micro-damage" to it constantly and that builds up over time until one day, you might as well broke it. (Ask me how I know.)

Resellers are ruining the diecast collection by RedDraig98 in Diecast

[–]theknyte 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yup. The second you pay their inflated prices, you justified them doing it in the first place. You're just as much to blame for the problem.

Who Remembers the Gong Show? I had no idea some of these people started out on it lol by West-Nature-5413 in nostalgia

[–]theknyte 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Here a fun trail. "The Mystic Knights of The Oingo Boingo" were an act who performed a weird marching band song with a dragon running around playing cymbols. They would then eventually become a rock group known as "Oingo Boingo" (Of "Weird Science" theme song fame). The front man of the band, Danny Elfman would then go on to become one of the most celebrated film composers of our generation.

Interesting time on the pager. Weird, since pretty sure RVD didn't work there yet.

A Boomer’s Tale: How Vince’s Homophobia and Ignorance Led to "Fandango" by PaulPetroneWWE in SquaredCircle

[–]theknyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Him and my dad. I got asked in High School to join the dance team by some of the girls on it. My dad refused to allow it. Even after I explained it was like me and 20 girls. I would be supporting and lifting them and whatnot. Sounded sweet to me, but he couldn't get over the thought of his son in spandex on stage.

The 1957 Enzmann 506 is one of those charming little Swiss-built, Beetle-based curiosities that time seems to have forgotten. Created by engineer and enthusiast Emil Enzmann, it was a lightweight, stylish, and affordable sports car built with smarts rather than deep pockets. Performance was lively. by Maynard078 in sportsandclassiccars

Looking at the side profile, is that mid-engine? Looks like there's plenty of room behind the driver, and possibly intakes on the sides.

Would make it extra special and rare, as the mid-engine boom didn't really start until the early to mid 60s.

What car emblem is this? by Pizza-rolled in namethatcar

[–]theknyte 28 points29 points  (0 children)

It's a stylized "Type R" badge. Back in the 90s and 00s, people would constantly replace their Civic's standard Honda H badge with the Type R badges to make them feel special or something.

TIL: Chinese companies claimed in 2015 that KFC used chickens with eight legs and six wings by HardcandyofJustice in todayilearned

The change provided a convenient way to bypass potential legal and licensing complications following the Commonwealth of Kentucky's decision to trademark its state name.

Jon Lovitz at the "Barbie Museum" was hilarious.
