    Pro-tip - don’t extend your pictures with slop. It’s entirely unnecessary and makes the image look terrible.

    I met one at a petting zoo, sat on the ground, at it crawled up into my lap like a cat. I died.

    Is there something going on in the background of the tortoise photo?

      Looks like 2 other tortoises are having a time. If this isn’t a fabrication.

        look more closely. it isn’t. it’s a photo with a narrow resolution that someone tried to upscale (poorly) to a higher, wider one.

        it probably used ai to predict colors badly. but the photo in the middle is real.

          While you are probably correct, I doubt that the image processing was intentional. It’s probably just been uploaded to a bunch of different websites which each have their own image processing.

          Like, you’re right. But I don’t think the excessive image processing was intentional. I think it was performed by multiple uploads to different websites.

            probably. you can clearly see the square instagram sized photo in the center either way.

              I think there’s something quite disturbing about the fact that we have all had to become image analysis experts just because everything we see every day is so hard to believe

                nah its ok. humans like to see patterns and whatnot and when we get stuff we’re not used to we tend to go "nuh uh! >=(”

                human brains are working as intended.

                  human brains are working as intended.

                  That’s the problem. A critical component of living in and maintaining a civilized society as that we can, collectively, rise above how our animalistic primitive monkey brains work. You know, for the betterment of our collective selves and all that. When we fail to do that, we find ourselves in the situation we are in right now.

      Quokka: Wow! That was a crazy firefight. but at least I made it out unscathed.

          Now all I picture is the capybara and quokka having an exchange after a train hits a school bus full of children.

          "I don’t know if I can do this job anymore Capy. I have constant nightmares and Mrs. Quokka doesn’t understand why I’m not able to get it up in bed anymore. You know how difficult it is to get a hard-on with those images in your mind man?

          That little girl was just screaming with the skin ripped off her fucking face. The rest of them were so mangled we couldn’t even figure out what limb belonged to who. Sometimes I just feel like the fucking grim reaper, you know? Sending souls off into the afterlife."

          Quokka takes a long drag…

        Maybe they have to venture out into the world to recover the crystal of time, or, like, mint condition 1972 Kenner Spock in box, or something. Or just go out for sandwiches. I mean . . . I’d watch it.

          A buddy adventure movie in which they try to make one new friend. It’s incredibly challenging for them because they’re already friends with most everyone they come across.

      They are social in family groups, but fight between each other to sort out a hierarchy. It can get bad for the weak ones that get picked on
