That goes beyond wasteful packaging to deceptive packaging.
There are laws against that. I doubt that there are any inspectors to enforce the laws any more.
AI. I can’t conceive of any injury that would push your thumb joint into line with your fingers. They all look off to me, but the first one in the third row is unquestionably fake.
My late sister had the last one happen after a fall on roller skates. Broke both bones close to the wrist. Not quite as pronounced, but close. The muscles in the arm will pull the hand back into that position if both bones get broken.
I also see them as an older couple… She’s wearing a sort of a veil… but i still see it as, maybe not a wedding, but they’re very dressed up for an event.
The Venusian ambassador and his wife at a New Year’s reception?
We’ve seen this before…. Gonna go look it up… BRB…
Okay, that didn’t take long, did it?
It’s called “Meet The Aliens: Xantara and Nykara”, and it’s part of a series of jigsaw puzzles, some with other couples, and all with stories about their planet.
I found what looks to me like a panda… it could look like a stuffed toy one, I guess, but I only see one.
I also see some creepy AI type extra heads and assorted impossible to define maybe living things, or maybe not. Yuck!
@MCTS… I haven’t clicked your spoiler, cos I uploaded mine and yours appeared just when I came back to post it. Curious to see if we found the same thing cos mine doesn’t look like a dog to me.
Also Liverlips, cos I can’t see a bunny in it, either.
Are we all looking at the same thing, or different ones?
That was one of my two stuffed panda toy possibilities.
The “bunny” I saw is near the top right corner, maybe an inch in from the side and 1.5 inches down from the top. Kind of a large dark form with what appears to me like two long ears sticking up.
Dunno what it really is, but there’s an extra loop over its “head” that breaks up the image, to me.
Can’t find another “toy panda”….
But not quite halfway up, and maybe 4 or 5 heads in from the left edge, I see a tiny, vague Mickey Mouse. Maybe a Mickey mouse sweatshirt someone was wearing but it got cut off in the collage.
This is titled “Physics Experiment” at the site, and the English sub-title says “Three, two, one let’s begin the friction experiment. ”
Whatever it’s supposed to be demonstrating, they are definitely having fun!

When I searched this picture, I found out it’s from a newspaper story…
He spent 2 years in a Colorado shelter before someone adopted him.

It’s not so much about inspectors… In most countries, companies comply, or retailers and consumers either turn them in or won’t buy the products.
But this kind of thing is usually a cheap import, from someplace without those laws, and sold at stores like Big Lots and Family Dollar.
Notice the unknown brand, and the package says “mix flavour chocolates” with no other info.
I bought some mint chocolates, 90% off after Christmas, 69c instead of $6.99, just to see what they were like, though they were made in Turkey.
Not this bad .. there were a few outside the circular window but not in the corners.
They did contain some iffy chemicals…
Then I read that Turkey gets more food shipments rejected than China. Luckily, more agricultural products than candy.
But those inspectors really are in short supply. Something like 90% of imported food escapes inspection.

Nope. I’m too old to be looking at that.
Them’s the breaks…
A whole lot of Owies there. Probably take a while to heal, even if there’s no surgical intervention required. Titanium is your friend.
This poor fellow is looking a bit disjointed.
YUCK!!
Images like this should be in a spoiler box with a warning!
I don’t want to see it.

Gotta be more comfortable than the rocks.
It gets he seal of approval…
Her name was Argyros…
She was a monk seal, friendly to humans, and used to come to this chair on the beach, on the Greek island of Samos, to lie in the sun.
There were signs reserving it for her, and asking people not to pet or tease her. Tourists loved to take pictures of her.
What a great tourist attraction!
I can name 3 and the movie.
If i remember it was a box office bust.
Charles Martin Smith playing against type. (Or not — The Accountant?)
They know, but they’re keeping it to themselves… so in case you were wondering, I’ll tell you….
The Untouchables…. Andy Garcia, Sean Connery, Kevin Costner and Charles Martin Smith.
The first was the one i couldn’t remember.

I love that photo. I’m fairly certain that it won a big photo award.
it certainly should have!
.,.
She’s got four fingers and a thumb. Must not be A1… 😀
Well, yeah, I’d think they were real too… But look at his hands.
Nosferatu.
Wondering what their kids will look like?
I remember this couple. They look much more like they are celebrating a high number anniversary than a wedding. But what do I know?
I also see them as an older couple… She’s wearing a sort of a veil… but i still see it as, maybe not a wedding, but they’re very dressed up for an event.

“Which way did he go, George?”
The best part is the duck surfacing briefly right behind the utterly oblivious tiger.
I thought that was the duck, but it’s hard to believe he’d swim so dangerously close to a predator.
Now I’m thinking it’s actually the black tip of the tiger’s tail… which he’s lashing in frustration.
I see that now!
Spoilsport!
So funny.
The way he stops, jerks his head up, and looks to one side, then the other, with a goofy look of confusion, is straight out of a cartoon.
just what I thought–it’s like a cartoon, almost unbelievable
The caption comes from Wikipedia’s article on England.

I quickly found what might be a panda, but looks to me more like a bunny.
I’ve also found two of what might be toy stuffed pandas.
…bunny?
Found what could be it, but it looks more like a dog.

that’s it!—at least I think so
That’s where I found it.
No bunny? Poop!

I think i see what you are talking about.
I see that… almost like a chocolate Easter Bunny.
Dunno what it really is, but there’s an extra loop over its “head” that breaks up the image, to me.
Can’t find another “toy panda”….
But not quite halfway up, and maybe 4 or 5 heads in from the left edge, I see a tiny, vague Mickey Mouse. Maybe a Mickey mouse sweatshirt someone was wearing but it got cut off in the collage.
That’s what I found (along with a dog or camel headed human)
No pandas, but I found two old girlfriends…

He wanted to get a good sniff!
Bath? I don’t need no stinkin’ bath! That was just getting good!
You’ve been down at the creek again, haven’t you?
Don’t wanna know.
The Japanese imported them into SE Asia during WWII as food for their troops. Now they’re a pest.
Not crustaceans!
Gastropods, which are mollusks.
Crustaceans have jointed legs, like crabs.

That does look like fun!
Demonstrations of the laws of physics can be highly entertaining.
Static electricity can be fun, or make you jump when you get out of your car.
That’s one way getting rid of dandruff.
Repainting the Eiffel Tower (1924).
No ropes, no harnesses…. I can’t watch.
Once you’re above about 30 feet, it doesn’t really matter anymore.
The longer the fall, the more time you have to regret it.
That’s for falling… But the object of harnesses is not to fall!
I don’t want to see them falling 10 feet either…. though some people can do that safely…. or 25.
Gotta finish watching later… But I love Hank Green and Sci Show (and Vlog Brothers.)
Meanwhile… Look how curly his hair got… it was straight before chemo.
I noticed that right away. It happens a lot after chemo.
Hard way to get a perm.
That happens quite often when you loose your hair for whatever reason and it grows back.
Bless you!
