I was pretty sure it was gonna be a raccoon.

Also I did not realize Shriek was a bird. I only knew it as the vehicle in the 2001 fps tribes 2.

I think it's the bird that impales its prey

I think my girl is a Lockheed Martin

Damn, she murders innocent Iranians?

Wait till you hear about the innocent Iraqis!

The shrike?? Where are the time tombs???

[–] Kommeavsted@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't be the first person to dream of banging a shrike

[–] CultLeader4Hire@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Fedmahn Kassad is that you??

The barbed wire fence is a nice touch

How many gallons of water did that cost?

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

It has a watermark, so presumably a stock photo...

The sauce says "Generated with AI" : https://stock.adobe.com/images/Panda-resting-on-a-wooden-fence-in-a-vibrant-autumn-forest-with-golden-leaves/1090998964
I think it got pirated by another stock image database who cropped out the original watermark and applied their own. Which is kinda funny.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Oh man, of course that's a thing now. Can't copyright that shit, but you can watermark your territory and hope that no one bothers to distribute the non-copyrightable non-watermarked version that you're selling.

[–] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago

Plenty of the shit generators drop a watermark on if you don't pay

I feel like I'm calling myself out on this one, but is the picture of the eye Marina Hantzis (aka Sasha Grey)?

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Looks like her, but you'd need more of the face to be sure.

If anything, the fact that you used her real name first even though she's only ever used the other one professionally is the problematic bit 😄

[–] uselessartifact@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Does she still go by Sasha Grey? I looked up her real name because I figured she didn't. I know little about her.

EDIT: Greg to Grey... autocorrect, somehow

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, she's branched out to (in no particular order) "regular" acting, voice acting, gameplay streaming, music (composing, singing, several instruments, and DJing), and writing books, all as Sasha Grey.

I know little about her

Same 🤷🏻

Until I looked up her Wikipedia to check whether you'd gotten the name right, I only knew about the porn and some of the "regular" acting myself 😁

Turns out she's quite the renaissance woman!

[–] uselessartifact@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Well, shit, TIL. Thanks for the info!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago

You're very welcome 🙂

Rude, my gf is actually a cow who keeps trying to escape.

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

My girl is a threatened species!?

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Better start making babies ASAP

One of these hung out near my parents house one summer when I was a kid and made a hunting strategy out of grabbing prey birds mid flight and dive bombing them into the bay windows of our living room
