What's been the craziest moment of your life? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 37 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Arriving home with my newborn son. It was the first moment when it really sank in that I’m a parent and we have to take care of this tiny little thing.
It wasn’t a warm feeling but more of a fuuuuuck! What do we do? What do we do?! feeling. The enormity of the responsibility just overwhelmed me.
I somehow got through it and the post-natal care lady that visited a few hours later really helped with grounding the situation.

Anyway, it’s not a crazy situation for most of you. But for me it really felt like a “I can’t believe this is happening!” situation.

Bath Buddy [Midjourney] (sh.itjust.works)

Prompt: horror movie, over-the-shoulder view of a man taking a bath in foamy water, an alien eye on a tendril pops out from the water, shot on disposable camera, moody lighting --ar 3:2 --stylize 75

Getting an eye on a tentacle is a lot harder than I thought it would be. You often get a tentacle and an eye somewhere, but combining the two seems to be difficult for some reason.

Some of the horrors I've seen while making this image.

Prompt: An overweight demon, wearing a spencer and glasses, sitting behind a desk, the demon is looking depressed, the desk has a small sign reading "have a hell of a day" --ar 3:2 --stylize 150 --niji 6

The sign turned out to be a bridge too far, but I love the expression on his face. Also, I have no idea why he’s sweating :)

Get Ready for some Revolutionary Action! [Midjourney] (sh.itjust.works)

submitted 2 months ago by thelsim@sh.itjust.works to c/imageai@sh.itjust.works

6 comments fedilink

Ok, so I'm not French. And my knowledge of the revolution is limited to what I learned during my bachelor in history. So please don't get offended if I got anything wrong.
It's all meant in good fun :)

New! NEW! NEW!

Get the French Revolution action figures!
Fight as the Bourbons! Or take on the plight of the Revolutionaries!
Who will win? You decide!

Images were made using the character reference parameter. The source image is in the upper right corner. In almost all cases the prompt was product photo of a muscled action figure. Except for Charlotte, that one was product photo of a muscled action figure holding a bloody knife.

The texts and corner images were, poorly, photo-shopped by me :)

When going on vacations abroad, we bring a power strip from home. With it, you'll only need a single international converter to power multiple devices.

Do you know of any obscure useful websites? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 32 points 8 months ago

No idea if this is obscure or not, but for creating diagrams I've found draw.io a very useful free website/tool (there's an offline version).
The ability to hide the entire model inside the png is really neat. You can upload the png in a wiki and later on just import it to alter it again.

Replicating reddit content from AITA in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 33 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Not for AITA, but I once wrote a long emotional response to a relationship reddit repost without realizing it what it really was. Only after hitting send did I finally see. It really sucked because I thought I was helping the OP with some advice and comfort and felt like a huge idiot afterwards.
So, yea.. there's no real value in reposting these kinds of messages if you can't even reach out to the OP. And it just feels kind of scummy to be discussing these kinds of issues without the OP even being able to read along.

What bugs the heck out of you at work but doesn't seem to bother your coworkers? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

There’s a high pitched sound coming from one of the air ducts. It’s driving me crazy but no one else seems to hear it.

AI Generated Content in c/curatedtumblr@sh.itjust.works

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 42 points 10 months ago

AI jank is half the fun, I agree with that.
Especially when it's too damn stubborn. I once tried to make an AI generate a movie poster about someone riding a giant scorpion. But for some reason the AI kept associating the word riding with motorcycles and refused to put anything but a motorcycle in the image.
I kept on pushing for my scorpion and finally the AI just generated this monstrosity to shut me up.
Man riding a motorcyle scorpion

What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 43 points 10 months ago

3d printing. I started out with a cheapish Chinese model, got annoyed by the lack of accuracy and bought a Prusa.
Then there’s the filaments, accessories, post processing stuff... I own a Dremel now for some reason!
And I’m constantly eyeing those resin 3d printers, telling myself the higher resolution is totally worth it…
The only thing saving my bank account is my low attention span and dozens of other interests :)

Lemmings, why did you decide to never confess to someone that you liked so much? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Crippling self doubt, what else?

Has the Reddit exodus killed the former Lemmy culture? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

[-] thelsim@sh.itjust.works 40 points 10 months ago

I'm one of those Reddit refugees. I can't say anything about how things were before I got here, but I would like to add that I treat Lemmy a whole lot different from Reddit. When I joined there was plenty of talk about the lack of content, people only upvoting but not commenting, that kind of thing.
So I took this as a sign that I should be more of a participant and not the three-posts-to-my-name lurker that I was at Reddit. And I saw similar motivations with other users. So I do hope that at least part of the refugees have added a positive influence, and more so than they ever did when they were still using Reddit.
