I meant with the servers too, not just an empty rack.

In case it wasn't obvious, I was trying for this

Tap for spoiler

Most hosted AI image generators didn't wanna make this, so I had to use grok, which is shitty.

promptCreate an image in the style of a still frame from a movie. In the frame the Whitehouse is exploding in a great fireball, with splintered wood flying through the air. An enormous city sized flying saucer is hovering above the Whitehouse, firing a blue beam into the Whitehouse, which is what caused the explosion. The flying saucer is very detailed and covered with greebles. The Whitehouse is exploding into pieces. The scene is at night, lit by the explosion fireball. The perspective is from the Whitehouse front lawn.

Copilot keeps telling me it's not allowed to generate that kind of content 😏

What honestly made a big difference for me was 2 things:

  1. Working IRL for a while so I could see how projects can quickly turn into a mess as new requirements get added on
  2. Learning the SOLID principles and TDD.

The solid principles are a great guide as a project gets large, but you can't really appreciate them until you've worked on a project that is a mess.

So this isn't exactly practical advice for you, but it's what helped me.

I wonder how easy it is to get used server racks, and how cheap they are 🤔

I just use millis since epoch

(Recently learned that this isn't accurate because it disguises leap seconds. The standard was fucked from the start)

But what about clown pussy?

Wealthy people would have much better access to trivial / cosmetic medical procedures... Sure... I'll grant that

Just take the L, dude.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about. It's like reading some garbage from chatGPT.

Most of your downvotes aren't coming from being antimarxist but from blatant misuse of terms to try to scare people.

To take a note from your pages: it's ok to just admit that you don't understand what private ownership is, or what communism is, and it seems pretty unnecessary to spew such verbal diarrhea in order to try to scare people into whatever it is you're trying to scare them into

 

I had never really heard of him outside of wrestling until the memes, and since then his movie career has actually been on a pretty impressive trajectory.

Theme

Try to recreate a classic exploitable meme using AI!

I'm gonna switch up the scoring a little for this challenge, so be sure to read the score section:

  • Most ambitious: the most complex meme or the meme that I (a layman) feels would be very difficult to describe via prompt.
  • Most recognizable: the meme is the easiest to identify, and is the most accurate to the original
  • Do not include the name of the meme in the prompt: the challenge is to find a novel way to recreate the meme, not just get the model to spit out an image it was trained on. You can use words that are in the name of the meme, but avoid telling the model to just make the meme.

I really tried to get it to generate Mac from the film Mac and Me, but it just wouldn't

What would aliens think if they leaned we evolved fear as a survival mechanism, but we intentionally seek out situations that trigger our fear response, for fun?

Horror movies, extreme sports, thrill-seeking, it's all weird.

Edit
Changed the title and added an extra line to make it clear I'm talking about the fear response, and not specifically about extreme sports

 

Not to count my chickens before they hatch, but I think I've decided my next contest theme, if I win one in the near future

a large green pear with a large mouth. the mouth is open, showing large blunt teeth, and a tongue. the pear is on a meadow with small hills, on a sunny day. oil painting

 

I know FNAF is a "kids game" but putting it next to the Care Bears seems a bit excessive lol

 

Theme

Unexpected Astronaut!

What could possibly be unexpected, unusual, or surprising about astronauts or the situations they find themselves in?
