too disillusioned to even talk about it. I think it would be condescending of me to believe that masses that vote for asses deserve anything else.

yes, you're right, history is full of examples of their tolerance. These 3 religions radiated love all throughout our history and today is no exception

🤣

"no bad logic" indeed. It's well known that abrahamic god loves lgbtq+ communities. Cities that host these communities were always awarded by the said god.

but maybe op was writing about Buddhism? or one of the Shamanisms? Or maybe their gods are Olympian?

On 30 November 2021, Barbados transitioned to a republic within the Commonwealth, replacing its monarchy with a ceremonial president.

if you take a quick look at other news from Barbados, you would understand why ☞ https://www.theguardian.com/world/barbados

it was "spectacular" with Rihanna attending the ceremony ☞ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWbC1H7RJHI

Impossible bottle (en.wikipedia.org)
submitted 1 month ago by merde to c/[email protected]
 

Fruits and vegetables inside bottles are grown by placing a bottle around the blossom or young fruit and securing it to the plant. The fruit then grows to full size inside the bottle.

 

"The unexpected story of how Alfred Nobel’s invention of dynamite—designed to build the world—was co-opted by anarchists to bring about its destruction. From revolutionizing infrastructure to arming political radicals, dynamite shaped the rise of both terrorism and modern law enforcement."

submitted 1 month ago by merde to c/[email protected]
 

"The New Kingdom, also referred to as the Egyptian Empire, was the ancient Egyptian state between the 16th century BC and the 11th century BC. This period of ancient Egyptian history covers the Eighteenth, Nineteenth, and Twentieth Dynasties. Through radiocarbon dating, the establishment of the New Kingdom has been placed between 1570 BC and 1544 BC. The New Kingdom followed the Second Intermediate Period and was succeeded by the Third Intermediate Period. It was the most prosperous time for the Egyptian people and marked the peak of Egypt's power."

hello @[email protected] & anyone else who may be interested in why i don't post prompts.

source image:

prompt: secret prompts of a cynical internaut, confused lemmings running towards a precipice of (notfromhere)

result:

above image as source with the same prompt:

again:

again, with the modified prompt of: secret prompts that are not fom here

to jolt the generation: secret prompts that are not fom here, jumping jacks

guidance to 9

for me it's the process that matters, not just one prompt. that's why unless it's an experiment on the process itself i don't "share" prompts. They don't matter.

last image above as source with the prompt "They don't matter."

anybody who experimented with hallucinogens would have an understanding of how to trigger visions. Above example was careless, i wasn't thinking of what prompt to send for what kind of an image i would like to get. But it may help to understand. I remember writing about prompts, when ballshapedman was active on this community, in contrast to his extremely descriptive prompts mine were like dada poems.

when you include inpainting to this process, i would have to write a comment double, triple the size of this one under every image i post. I, understandably, can't.

Ninger would buy bond paper from Crane & Company, in Dalton, Massachusetts, cut it to the same size as the $50 and $100 United States Notes he was copying, then soak the paper in a dilute coffee solution. He would align the paper over a genuine banknote, place the two on a piece of glass, and trace the resulting image. He used a camel’s hair brush to put colors on the note, imitated the silk threads with red and blue inks, and suggested rather than duplicated the intricate geometric lathework. Notably, he omitted the line crediting the Bureau of Engraving and Printing from all of his bills, and some of them were also missing the counterfeiting warning. When asked why he omitted the Bureau of Engraving and Printing credit on his bills, Ninger responded, "Because dey [sic] didn't make dem [sic]."

The album of Muḥammad Siyāh Qalam or Siāh-Qalam comprise around 80 extant late 14th and early 15th century paintings folios, ink drawings (qalam-siāhi), and calligraphies, on various material, sometimes silk. The albums that contains these paintings, most of which are signed as Mehmet or Muhammad Siyah Qalam, is called the Fatih. These paintings depict cultural and religious ritual norms of the time period, providing insight into the demographics of that era as well as the geography. Measuring up to 335 × 485 cm, these paintings are generally attributed to Iran and bear the strong influence of Chinese art and techniques, as well as symbols of Buddhism and Shamanism, which were both major faiths in the region of Central Asia before the arrival of Islam. ☞https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siyah_Qalam
