Traffic lights were hand operated.
The small town where I grew up had one pedestrian traffic light for crossing the main road. There was a small brick shed next to that traffic light with no windows and a little door. When I was little I was convinced that was an operation's center where someone worked to turn the lights red or green.
In reality it was a power substation for the neighborhood, but I was seriously convinced that behind that door was a man looking at a TV screen and operating the traffic light at the right moment.
When we went to a larger town nearby, where there were traffic lights without a convenient mysterious building nearby, I told myself that the traffic light people were most likely working under ground, peeping through the drains.

I.. was good at making up answers for myself instead of just asking my parents.

Prompt: high-angle, sci-fi movie, a cluster of colossal aerostats, drifting above menacing purple lighting clouds in a violent alien atmosphere, a spacecraft is on approach to land at the aerostat, dramatic lighting, shot on 35mm film --ar 3:2 --v 6.1

In the violent upper atmosphere of a gas giant, aerostat research outposts allow scientists to observe weather patterns up close and collect gas samples. Supply runs are a lethal endeavor and can only be performed when lightning activity is at its lowest.

The first house in my city is from 1976, the entire city is built on reclaimed land. It went from 100 residents back then to more than 220,000 now.

A fun fact is that they still find stuff in the ground from old shipwrecks to crashed WW2 bombers.

You’re welcome :)

I have two ways of explaining. The first one is just saying “I work with data” followed by some hand waving and shrugging.
The other is where I really go into detail and explain everything. Going gaga over some minute aspect that I find awesome but couldn’t even interest one of my coworkers.
Neither seems to really work, but I don’t get follow up questions which suits me just fine :)

Maps and compass. I like the reliability of finding my way no matter where I am. Plus it’s fun!
Especially the trick of using two landmarks to pinpoint my location on a map makes me feel like an old-fashioned navigator :)

Following someone else's comment, I made another one using "tattoo someone took because of a stupid internet challenge"

Even nicer if you ask me :)

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I just used "tattoo"


Huh, that's actually really pretty. I mean, if i had to get a tattoo, I wouldn't mind it being this one.

 

Prompt: Photograph, A cat with a tie, sitting behind a desk, a sign on the desk reads "Complaints" --v 6.1

[–] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

So nice to hear that someone used it as a wallpaper! :)
I made it in Midjourney so thankfully it's still around. I think it's this one, right? I've upscaled it for you.

Oh and here's the original, if the upscale is not to your liking. I just noticed that it makes it a little too clear and neat.

Theme

It's time to forget all you've learned on how to make believable images and go back to the jankiness of older AI images.
We have all seen it, the weirdness AI can create when you least want to.
But for this week's theme, try to create an image with the AI mistake (extra fingers, weird posture, you name it) as it's main attraction.

Embrace the jank and turn it into something beautiful! :)

A bonus point can be earned by anyone who can make their image without explicitly describing the weirdness they want to see in the prompt. Just like when you don't want to see these kinds of fails.
For example: If you try to create a man with multiple legs, then a man with three legs wouldn't count, but a man running really fast with his legs would.
Consider it an extra challenge to see how well you know your model and if you can push it exactly to the desired breaking point :)

As before, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and I've noticed that the early bird usually catches the worm. So for this challenge I'm subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours.

Prompt:A 80's style Hollywood movie poster, of a cowboy ninja on a pirate ship, the title "Lone Star Ninja" is written in bold letters --ar 2:3 --v 6.1

Theme

It's movie time! For this challenge I dare you to create the cheesiest B-movie poster you can think of.
Some photo shopping is allowed if you have trouble with the title. I think by now most models should be able to generate text, but I get how frustrating it can be when it doesn't cooperate.

As an extra rule, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and I've noticed that the early bird usually catches the worm. So for this challenge I'm subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours.
It should hopefully level the playing field a little bit. Consider it an experiment, whoever wins is free to get rid of this rule if it doesn't work out.

They're not very subtle, I know :)
