    maybe it’s just me, but I can’t identify everything in this picture and it’s driving me nuts.

    I think it's probably AI, springlering. I don't know what that green leafy thing is supposed to be. I didn't look at it too closely at first and I thought it was pistachios, but it seems like some leafy thing. All of the image is too fakey. Even the best food photographer wouldn't get it that balanced. . .and smooth, and nondescript. I mean, what is all the food even in? It looks like a broken half bowl that just so happens to be the exact same color as the food right next to it on each side.

    Chameleon bowl.

    I like the image better than that old one. No idea what the orangey sauce in the ramekin was in that old picture.

    I guess it’s a plate or bowl, but the texture is disgusting. Yes, as you describe, like eating off a lizard’s butt.

    And the mango or cantaloupe on the right is like nothing in nature.

    I “read” it as AI, too.

    I just started dabbling in Instagram, so I could view some of the 🤬 links my eldest is eternally sharing. Watched on and it immediately took me to a totally unrelated one of a guy sitting on the potty, scrolling, in a cabin, under a window. Two violently fighting bears come crashing through the window and land on top of him on the toilet, still fighting, and he’s screaming “I need to make a call, dude!”

    Immediate reaction: fake.

    I shut the app down.

    I didn’t know the stupid thing would start spewing more stuff at you after you watched the intended thing. Yuck. I guess mine was really random bear stuff because I haven’t built up an algorithm yet. Just weird. Weird, weird, weird.

    AI is killing off the arts, killing jobs, killing education, and the next to go will be humor, delight, and astonishment.

    ETA: well that was a rant, wasn’t it? Maybe cause I was late getting my coffee.

    High Anxiety dog finally permitted to go back to the nice indoor coffee shop, after a barky outing last year. They gave him a special treat, which he carried allllll the way home and then promptly tried to bury in our little patch of yard.

    yeah, late coffee. Always a great excuse.

    awww. Good doggie.

    That's part border collie? That dog needs to go to the gym with you and swim 200 laps. Preferably while balancing a ball on its nose and simultaneously herding the ladies in the aerobics class.

    We were told he’s half dachshund and half spaniel. We were also told we were his third or fourth placement , that he was turned in twice for biting small children, and despite his unbelievably delicate and sensitive nose, he was thrown out of sniffer school for a bad attitude.

    I tend to give that some credence, because when we’re out walking, he beelines towards certain parked cars- including, embarrassingly, a neighbor’s son’s car, who is a known dealer, and who likes to sit in his car and smoke joints, thinking his parents won’t notice. 🙄

    We were warned that, if we were caught (insular area 🤷🏻‍♀️) walking him around the Square, the Rescue would take steps to take him back, because he was a menace to society.

    It was pretty bad at first, but four years and zillions of soothing words later, he can walk without incident- as long as no one looks directly at him or attempts to pet him. I even let him run off-leash on the bike trail, and he sits and behaves when someone passes. However, people still see and remember him, and automatically cross the street. 😬

    Behaving inside the coffee shop this morning was a milestone. We usually go to another, walk up- window coffee shop.

    He is also the only dog I’ve ever heard of who came with a money back guarantee. 😂

    For a good time, edit the photo down to just the bowl of whatever-it-is and ask the MFP photo calorie estimator to guess.

    OK, so it's not that funny. It bails on guessing the blue-green lumpy stuff (chia pudding?) and the improbable herb.

    It still won't let me put photos in spoilers, but it said: Kiwi, granola, mango - better guesses than I've seen when I tried it on my real food, TBH.

    I'm pretty good at herbs, which I think that thing might be supposed to be - if edible. I even tried some identification tricks. Nothing.

    I like the photo aesthetically. I think they should only use identifiable real food in their photos, though, in this context. If it weren't a food-logging site, I wouldn't feel the same.

    I have a 16 year old cat named Mister. She is black with a white spot on her chest. She likes to sit next to me on the couch patiently waiting while I eat dinner and looks for dropped food when I am done but I never drop any. Would it be ok to call her Roomba anyways?

    I call my cat, Zarra, many different names and she doesn't mind. 😂

    do you ever find yourself unreasonably mad over calories?


    neighbor has a bed-ridden husband. Another neighbor and I took her a nice lunch, and she wanted to return the favor, but using Door Dash.

    Her husband was craving Chikfila. No problem. Their grilled Market Salad looked quite good and without dressing, was high protein and low cal. Bonus/bonus/bonus.

    They accidentally delivered a spicy fried version of the salad. Him being bedridden, and spicy not on the menu, I offered to eat the spicy one.

    That was about 280 goodwill calories.

    Been cheesed off at Chikfila (not the neighbors- she’s got enough on her plate!) ever since.

    That would have given me a great cushion yesterday, or would have been an awesome snack.

    But, no. 280 calories utterly wasted through incompetence at the source, and it just really got on my last nerve.

    That’s why I don’t use delivery services. If it’s gonna be wrong, I want to know right then.

    On the plus side, we had a nice visit, she got to talk to willing ears as much as she wanted, and we were happy to listen. Besides which, she’s a really funny old school southern belle, so she’d been saving up for us.

    @springlering62 : I posted this rant about Chick-fil-A (a really stupid name) a few months back. I really hate that restaurant and I don't know why people like it so much.

    I also agree that delivery services, while a lifesaver for some people who can't leave their houses or are very busy, have serious drawbacks. If you use Instacart for a large grocery order, you get what you get and it doesn't really matter if it makes you upset— there's nothing you can do about it.

    Musa. I can’t believe this was on Labor Day. The seasons change so fast!

    you know your tastes have changed for the better when you realize you get the same taste buzz from your daily blueberries, cottage cheese, grape nuts, and blueberry balsamic, as you used to get from Skittles and Starbursts.

    Yeah, we just came from the grocery store. They had piles of them out for Halloween.

    I used to looooooooove the giant bags of skittles. I’d sort them on my desk and eat the least favorite (green) first so I could work my way up to enjoying the most favorite (red).

    Same with Starbursts. Loved the strawberry ones

    I remember accidentally buying a bag of “Tropical” Skittles and raging for the rest of the day, lol.

    Anyway, nice to know all of these have zero appeal anymore. I can walk past the mini packs in a bowl or dish and just no desire.
