@dianea don't mind me, just going to blow up your notifications real quick... :P

@dianea

May your cat trays continue to overflow.

@gnoll110 @dianea Now is this an overflow or a two-element linked list? :-P
@dianea Escher and Dalí
@dianea Took me a moment to realize what I was viewing.
@dianea That's what the "C" stands for.
@dianea i really need to follow you
@dianea please tell me it's not generated 😭
@f4grx @dianea Deeply unconvinced.

The photo has been circulating on Reddit since at least 2021, but was already shared on a Russian site in 2020. So it is probably not AI. 🙂

@catflyhigh @f4grx @dianea Fair enough, thanks. The door handle seems to go both behind and in front of the cat's leg, but it may be a trick of the light/whiskers.

If it is real then I can't understand why anyone would put a three-level cat shelf on an external door. Especially when it appears that a cat's limb/tail could easily be crushed between the shelf and the wall/doorframe when the door is opened.

@f4grx

I usually only share photos from the meme archive long before the AI invasion terrorized us with slop zombies 🫠

Nearly all image searches are now total freaking slop

@f4grx @dianea At least for me it was quick to see a realistic arrangement, after a couple seconds. So if it's generated, it's quite realistic IMHO.
@dianea

Looks more like a Dalí to me...
@dianea I somehow imagined that more as a Dali cat.
