They’re angry and sent me a DM suggesting I was either paid $7000 and/or am a nazi if I saw anything to do with politics in this meme. You be the judge.

He’s famous as a really good geo-guesser (a game where people get random google streetview images and try to drop a pin as close to the coordinates as possible).

People give him challenges all the time, and it’s really impressive.

Here he is finding someone’s location based on a picture taken from a plane.

Found a scan of the article for anyone curious:

It would be funny to contact them about this…

There are a lot of fakes claiming to be from that screen test, unfortunately.

But we do see him in a wig in “I, Claudius” from the 70s.

Is it an actual photoshop then? This isn’t mine, and I assumed whoever did the original edit used some sort of faceswap or AI app to do it because it looked so smooth.

I can read this as either: AI allows anyone to code their own stuff.

AI is hogging all the million dollar ideas.

It’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.

When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.

I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.

That is correct.

I did some searching and I’m seeing 1937 and 1938, so yeah, that’s probably about right.

A quick search found the following panels here, if anyone is interested:

Very interesting! Editing it now to correct it as the day it hit the iceberg, because someone else mentioned that it didn’t sink until the next day.

Incredible work

Maybe they’re all cheering for the white pieces?

These are people talking about gaming reddit on X.

It’s real, but it went viral and they got a ton of backlash online for it a few years ago.

I may have to one of these days.

Just did some digging, and it’s legit and from a 1994 book called “The Internet Guide for New Users” by Daniel P. Dern.

Mildly interesting side-note, I found someone’s blog about posting this image and book to a (now non-existent) fediverse server. https://doughnut.neocities.org/blag/15
