There's something really weird with this photo and I can't tell what it is. Like, the little piece of dirt in the middle left, the distortion in the corners, and the general weirdness of the rendering makes me think "someone adapted some weird old lens to a modern camera." The slightly fucked up transition from cat to background bokeh either supports that, or the bokeh is computational and this is some fucking cursed piece of digital manipulation. EDIT: or, I suppose it could be from the eldritch dreams of some image model, but I didn't think about that when I first saw the picture.

Either way, I love this photo even if I've spent way too long trying to figure out what even the fuck.

It's photoshopped. Pieced together

I was thinking it was AI at first, but I settled on it being a scan of a photograph which then got processed weirdly by the scanning software

I think you're spot on. Those weird blurry things in the background on the right side even have that... wavy? stripey? idk what artifact that comes from the scanner's light not being consistent enough.

Kinda curious if the cat liked the sprinkles now...

[–] irreticent@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They nicknamed the cat Sprinkles so...

[–] LostWon@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But did they name their cat that because it eats them or because it wears them? 😭

Giving cats diabetes and heart disease is HILARIOUS 😕

Bold of you to assume many people know better.

I see a crime, but no criminal.
