Theme

Oh no, the gods are real and they are pissed!
Every single god that has ever existed has suddenly decided to take action and is busy with smiting and casting plagues for whatever petty reason they can think of.
This week's challenge is for you to create your own vision of whatever mean, silly or ironic punishment a god might inflict on the world below.
Choose a god (or make up one of your own) and decide on a fitting form of divine punishment for whatever reason you can think of. From the classical swarms of locusts, to the weirdly specific finding-mice-in-your-mustache-if-your-name-is-Alan kind of curses.
Gods are petty and pretty much take offense to anything :)

Format

This challenge will follow a slightly different format. Everyone can submit their image to this post. At the end of the week all images will be collected and shared in a new voting post wherein people can vote on their favorite image. This will be up for at least 24 hours before a winner is made.
There are no extra points to be earned, OP will decide on a winner in case of a tie.

I hope this format will give everyone the opportunity to take their time and have an equal chance at earning votes.
It can be a one-off if this turns out to be too time consuming or impractical.

Rules

• Follow the community’s rules above all else
• One comment and image per user
• Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
• Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged but not required (we’re all here for fun and learning)
• OP will declare winner in case of a tie
• The challenge runs for at least 7 days from now on
• Down votes will not be counted
• Voting and final scoring will be done in a separate post.

Scores

At the end of the challenge the image with the most votes, wins!
It's that simple this time :)

The winner gets to pick the next theme. As always, have fun everyone!

I wanted to ask what you think of a possible change to the scoring of the weekly challenges.
Right now most of the scoring is based on who gets the most upvotes. It works well for keeping things impartial, but those who post early will get more views and more chances at being upvoted than those who post later.
We already try to make things fairer by awarding bonus points to the last two images and a penalty for posting within the first 24 hours.
That last one got some feedback with some valid points, so I would like to suggest something different.

I want to see if having a separate submission and scoring post might work for the next challenge. Everyone can submit their images for at least 7 days and then I put them all together in a new post with separate replies to let people vote for at least 24 hours. Maybe even wait with posting until the weekend to get the most out of it?
I'd be happy to hear your input on this. It's a bit more work, but I don't mind doing it if it makes things more fair. And I hope I can automate the tedious stuff.

Nothing much changes on your end, but it might make the whole experience more fun and less of a race :)

edit

Thank you so much for your input and appreciation. I've heard some great arguments and will keep these in mind.
I'm going to give this a try for the coming challenge. But to whoever wins next, feel free to ignore all of this and try something different for the challenge after this.
Just know I'm always happy to help out in whatever way possible.

Theme

It's time to forget all you've learned on how to make believable images and go back to the jankiness of older AI images.
We have all seen it, the weirdness AI can create when you least want to.
But for this week's theme, try to create an image with the AI mistake (extra fingers, weird posture, you name it) as it's main attraction.

Embrace the jank and turn it into something beautiful! :)

A bonus point can be earned by anyone who can make their image without explicitly describing the weirdness they want to see in the prompt. Just like when you don't want to see these kinds of fails.
For example: If you try to create a man with multiple legs, then a man with three legs wouldn't count, but a man running really fast with his legs would.
Consider it an extra challenge to see how well you know your model and if you can push it exactly to the desired breaking point :)

As before, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and I've noticed that the early bird usually catches the worm. So for this challenge I'm subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours.

Rules

• Follow the community’s rules above all else

• The challenge runs for 7 days from now on
• Down votes will not be counted

It's a bit of a different challenge, but I hope you'll enjoy it!

Theme

It's movie time! For this challenge I dare you to create the cheesiest B-movie poster you can think of.
Some photo shopping is allowed if you have trouble with the title. I think by now most models should be able to generate text, but I get how frustrating it can be when it doesn't cooperate.

As an extra rule, take your time! Some of you can be super fast (me included) and I've noticed that the early bird usually catches the worm. So for this challenge I'm subtracting a point for anyone who posts within 24 hours.
It should hopefully level the playing field a little bit. Consider it an experiment, whoever wins is free to get rid of this rule if it doesn't work out.

They're not very subtle, I know :)
