It’s done with AI, which of course doesn’t care whether things make sense.
Have you ever seen those computer programs that morph images into other images? They were available even before AI, but now they’re much more sophisticated.
You can take, say, a picture of your friend and one of a wolf, and create one of him as a werewolf. With some you can specify the percentage of each… i.e. make him more wolf on the next try.
…
I think for this, and the one with the stewardesses and pizza that I posted it under, a photo is blended, not with one person, but with a group scene, which is bent and distorted to fit the photo.
Your eye doesn’t notice the distortion at first. But if you enlarge this and look closely at the women in the back, it’s alarmingly creepy where they’re cut and manipulated to fit the eyes in the photo.
…
If you can’t see the large face, you need to look at it.smaller and from farther away, probably with your eyes squinched or half closed.
Just as enlarging shows you the distortion, making it smaller helps to hide it.
….
BTW if you didn’t see it in my comment the other day, the “photo” in this particular image isn’t a real person
it’s
Shrek
Try to see him before you know… But if you can’t, maybe knowing will help.
For me it just pops out and now I can’t NOT see t.
We kids in my neighborhood, a little older than this, but not brighter, also used to go sit just under the edge of a small railroad trestle that crossed a shallow ravine, when we heard a train in the distance.
We’d put a few pennies on the track, and wait for the train to run over them… a foot over our heads! … and throw them off, some right through the rails onto us.
I loved listening to it thunder over us.
Then we’d run around the ravine collecting our “train pennies” to carry around in our pockets, and compare.
We’d sometimes find treasures like dimes or quarters, which were real silver in those days, turned into oval shiny pancakes, even better if you could still read some of the writing.

Nice job!
Cleo is internationally famous… but she’s especially big in her home town of Cleveland.
Just a quick composition before bedtime. Would be better with one of Nighthawk’s Cleveland skylines and better fonts..
But still…. It’s really Cleveland!
I’m impressed.
WOW! Baby’s got EARS! My hounds have never been so well endowed. Paws, yes, ears no.

Long time, no see, Buddy!
I do believe that is very old. You just don’t find trunks that are this thick on most wisteria.
I’m thinking there may be a tree… or maybe an ex-tree… underneath those twining trunks.
I love wisteria, but it does tend to eat a tree now and then.
I don’t mean it hunts trees as prey… It’s just kind of an absent minded boa constrictor of the plant kingdom, hugging things until they can’t breathe.
A beautiful old wisteria where.my brother lived years ago ate the downspout from the gutter, then it started on the eaves, themselves.
They didn’t want to have it cut back, but eventually they had to, because of its appetite for wood shingles.

TMI!!!
A joke, of course.

I see it, but why?
I posted this one the other day.

I hope the train’s going the other way…
That’s hard to do. Cheers for these boys to start preparing early for field sobriety testing.
We never used to think anything of it.

For years I had what was left of a ladies watch.

You encounter that some night when you are out walking. What do you do? Scream? Run away? Shake its hand? Which one? Try to talk to it?
Move to another city?
“The Nearsighted Lover” was a cute series. Thanks for bringing it back!
The lady harmonica player is fun. I had never heard of her before.
I was always a softy for a love story.
