Four photographs are stitched together in a 2 by 2 grid. In the first image, we see tattoos on both of a person's inner arms and inner wrists. The second photo shows how the person captured this shot by laying their phone on their shoulder and propping up its corner with their chin. A third photo reveals the person's laptop open in front of them, showing how they took a photo of themselves. The fourth and final image answers the final question of how the viewer saw the laptop taking a photo of the person photographing their tattoos. The person leaned a mirror against their laptop to capture the point-and-shoot camera, which was angled to show the scene of the person taking a picture of their tattoos and being captured by their laptop webcam.

The article from The New York Times reports a surprising and amusing incident where life-sized dinosaur replicas were found roaming a playground in a small town. These realistic models, part of a local museum's exhibit, were accidentally released due to a security malfunction. The sight of dinosaurs in the playground caused quite a stir among the residents, especially the children, who were both thrilled and startled. The museum has since apologized and retrieved the dinosaurs, ensuring such an incident won't happen again. The event has sparked a lot of local interest and laughter, turning into a memorable story for the community[1].

“David Attenborough” (a soundalike voice) explains the Cybertruck's parasitic relationship with flatbed trailers; transcript:

Here we see the Cybertruck has formed a peculiar symbiotic relationship with the larger flatbed trailer species. Evolutionarily disadvantaged, the Cybertruck has come up with a clever way to transport itself long distances.

By attaching itself to the flatbed trailer, the Cybertruck can reliably move about without risking injury to its fragile exoskeleton or internal organs. What the flatbed trailer gets in return for this kindness, science has yet to discover.

I wondered who had made the video and found myself on Reddit, in r/CyberStuck, where the video was originally posted. The creator of the fake Attenborough video, who has since deleted the post, explains in the comments that they wrote the script and edited the video, and for source material, they used "a bunch of Cybertruck fanboys on YouTube, Whistlindiesel, and also the lovely people on this fair subreddit."
