Scatterbrained and friendly optimist. Always happy to give my (unasked for) opinion :)
Pardon my rambling and broken English, I know I often sound like an alien trying to impersonate a human being.
Hard, multiple tries. Bing is car-centric.
Cars are about to be crashed inside large vertical hydraulic press
City downtown. Realistic photo. Narrow streets. Many people. Cars are getting crashed inside multiple mobile hydraulic presses.
Toot toot! The bus gets right of way!
Prompt: photograph, A bus with monster truck wheels, driving over crushed cars stuck in a traffic jam, in a busy city street, shot with a Canon EOS-1N on high quality 35mm film --ar 4:3 --v 6.1
Prompt: Limo interior. Covered in soft red fabric, soft plush, nice mood lighting. Tisssues and wine on a small stand.
For this challenge, I asked the help of someone who is a pro in fucking cars up.
Prompt : A blue car is on a tiled sidewalk, with the ocean in the background, under the sun. The car’s windows are broken, its hull is damaged. A sumo wrestler wearing a blue and white tutu and red warpaint on his face is punching the car with his fist and he likes it. Hyperrealistic picture taken with an iPhone.
It’s a newer thing and not fully available yet.

But the content moderation is a lot stricter than the normal text-to-image option. I can understand it from their perspective, but it can be a big annoyance when your image seems perfectly fine but is still blocked by the filter AI 😑
How many seconds left on the clock? :)
I… I don’t know where I was going with this one :)
This was made with the Midjourney editor. Funny thing, the blank space in the original png was immediately selected as the inpainting area in the editor. I didn’t even need to select the flag area to get started, nice work!
I specifically used a 90s era camera in the prompt(for the film grain effect), so that might be the cause?

I’m not one of those people who loves being a parent. You know the kind, the mom who loves having all the kids in the neighborhood over and cleans every mess with a big smile. I have two kids and they often drive me crazy. But I never regret having them.
They constantly fight with each other, whine that this or that is unfair, refuse to listen exactly when you’re in rush to get them to school, leave the entire house in a mess and in general manage to find new and inventive ways to make your day that little bit more challenging.
But they’re the sweetest and most wonderful thing to have happened to me at the same time. I love everything about them and couldn’t imagine my life without them. Even my eldest son, who is hitting puberty and can reach maximum sarcasm with even the smallest of expressions, shows so much care and affection when it comes down to it. I could go on and on about how wonderful they are, but I think you get the idea :)
The thing is though, as others have said, parenthood is a major investment of your time and energy. Your life will never be the same again, ever. So if you do decide to become a parent, accept your fate and make the best of it. Those wonderful child-free years are gone and will never come back again.
I don’t mean to sound very gloomy about it, but it’s just an inescapable fact if you want to try and be a good parent.
One thing that helped for me though, is find someone in a likewise position and share your burdens. I have a friend at work who has two kids of about the same age, and she goes through the same struggles as me. We always complain about our kids to each other, knowing that it’s just something you need to get off your chest once in a while. It’s usually about small stuff like a daughter exploding in the morning because she can’t find her pencil case, or some other minor drama. Our other coworkers always think that we hate being parents, and joke that our stories are probably responsible for a large part of the birth decline :)
But it feels so good to know that you’re not the only one struggling. So many parents like to put up this facade of being a perfect family, and it can make you feel like you’re doing something wrong. But everyone has struggles, it doesn’t make you a bad parent.
Sorry, I’m getting a bit off topic. It’s just that I have a lot of feelings about it, and it’s not always been easy. And if you decide to be a parent, it won’t be easy for you either. But if you’re willing to put in the effort, it’ll be worth it in the end. Just make sure you have someone to talk to, and don’t be too hard on yourself.
Too bad, I’m sorry it wasn’t that popular. Hopefully the next will work out better.
@[email protected], it’s up to you to create the next one.
Well to be honest I did struggle a little with this one. It’s not that the theme was difficult, but I had trouble thinking of a hero/villain pair that were visually recognizable and still good to merge. Most of what came to mind was either too niche or too boring.
I figured it was just me though, but maybe others struggled as well?
Anyway, it’s your challenge. Would you like it to run a bit longer, or would you like to retry for another week? Feel free to post a new challenge if that’s what you want and we’ll just leave this one as it is. I doubt @[email protected] would mind, right?
I’m sure it’ll get a lot more views if you post it in the weekend, and maybe it’ll entice more people to participate?
So… we have two actual entries in this contest. What shall we do about this?
Is the theme too difficult? Do we need a do-over?
Oh god, what a time to be alive…
“We’re hooking you up the respirator” is going to get a whole new meaning.
But still… cuddles. Won’t say no to those :)
These humans, breathing through their feeding holes and mucus canals 🤢
Thanks! I love how believable it turned out.
Prompt: A koopa, wearing a red hat and blue overalls, with a big mustache --ar 4:3 --v 6.1
Only if you feel like it of course, no pressure!

Just another daily commute.
My starting prompt in Dalle, which never really came up with what I wanted: Create a realistic video of the most crowded intersection, resembling a busy urban area in Southeast Asia with cars and motorcycles driving wherever there is space.
I’ve been playing with Sora a lot lately, but I wasn’t sure gifs were allowed. So here is the gif anyway to go with the official entry.
