Great minds think alike;)

Enough trial and error and a hint of curiosity hopefully help most find a way forward.

Glad you like the format, more to come!

Has anyone found a way to hide the chaotic UI found in YouTube shorts? It covers way to much of the content to make it almost unusable...

I dont think I fully understand captcha style tests, I fail so many. I can't tell if I'm too vague or too specific in selecting the squares or asking myself if the shown vehicle is a car or not...

A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.

Another thing I made this year: Real and implied birds.
