Seph@abdalian What was it doing in your downloads folder? Did it find something to eat in there or something?
@melivia to be fair, there was a lot of detritus in there for it to munch on!

Gorgeous na Shock!@timursagdenov @abdalian The first time I saw this, ML was still making unrecognizable nightmare blobs (if that), so I can vouch for it at least.
Some things in life just look ML-generated. ๐ฉ

Mrinappropriate@MrInappropriate Iโm glad it made your day! It sure made mine when I ran across it randomly chilling in my downloads folder.
Almost certainly rounded up by sea dogs. I guess the sea dogs also round up the sea cows? So many questions!

Level 98 ๐บ๐ฆ@amiserabilist @LoganFive @abdalian Ermintrude! As a kid, I didn't realise adults were watching Magic Roundabout wondering where the writers and animators got hold of such high quality weed.
i am not watching current kids shows but remember mine so fondly.
like an old friend.
well they are in a way.
@amiserabilist @level98 @abdalian Iโm not aware of this show but it sounds like itโs time to search for it on YouTube.
@LoganFive @amiserabilist @abdalian If you do, make sure you find the original. They tried to do a modern reboot. IMO was not as good. It did not capture the psychedelic nature of the original.
