I’ve also lived through NFTs and Beanie Babies. The argument that “technological advancements have happened in the past therefore such-and-such isn’t a scam” only goes so far.

The trick is to floss for a couple of weeks before your appointment. One week in a pinch. They might still be able to tell from the plaque buildup that you don’t usually floss, but if you also eat almost no sugar like me, that’s largely mitigated.
- sincerely, someone who always flosses 3x/day, I swear.

Given how much thought a lot of superfans of the Bible give to him, you’d think he was the protagonist.
Maybe they’re secret shippers.

There are definitely documentaries that come fairly close to what you’re describing. “The Platform Master” about Ulillillia was great.

- Comment on Is it hard for native speakers of languages that use 漢字 to learn ABC as it's different to their own? 5 weeks ago:
When I was last seriously studying Japanese, I remember finding a YouTube video of a Japanese person teaching English. And I remember one point he made (I understood enough Japanese to follow a certain amount of what he said) was that the name of a given letter in the English alphabet was not the same as the sound it makes.
(In case anyone reading this doesn’t know, Japanese has a couple of phonetic alphabets. (Honestly, hiragana and katakana are probably more “phonetic” than English letters in a way.) But for those characters, there’s no distinction between the character’s name and the sound it makes. For instance, the sound the hiragana character “す” makes is similar to the English name “Sue”, and the name of that character is exactly the same. There’s no need for any distinction between the name of a hiragana/katakana character and the sound it makes in Japanese.)
It just wasn’t something that had occurred to me that some learners of English would have to be explicitly taught the distinction between the name of a letter and the sound it made, so it was interesting to hear.
I really need to get back into studying Japanese.

I’m simply not going to verify everything I post isnt AI.
Then expect the same reaction frequently.
the [tools] that are out there that I’ve found are checks notes AI
Yeah, those aren’t reliable and I wouldn’t advocate for their use.
If you have good tools, paste them here and I’ll start using them
Tineye and DuckDuckGo image search.
I’m not going on a fucking Goose hunt each time I share a meme, though.
“When in doubt, don’t post it” is always an option.

Screenshot of Tineye finding zero results for the OP image.
My DuckDuckGo image search-fu also hasn’t found any references to that image before March 2026.
Are you saying you’re “pretty sure this particular image existed before AI” from memory or something else?
