There used to be this person i would see all over town. By town, I mean large city. I would see them in parks and even in friends apt complex parking lots. The last time, my friends saw them too, so i know i wasnt just crazy. They would be dressed, head to toe, like a white, or maybe light blue, bird. They would wear a one piece leotard, that covered thier hair / head and feet, and had feathered wings and maybe shoulders and head? Distinctly a bird, though. They would be like meditating, with thier arms outstretched up toward the sky, perfectly still. It started freaking me out cause I'd see them so much, just standing there, like a statue. Did I have a stalker? Was a bird person cult? Was it an art project? I had all these questions. I felt mildly harassed by this.

Ai generated imagery.

(The lines on the road all conveniently end when they are behind someone)

is it impossible this could have been a handmade fake? I thought I remembered seeing this before the big ai boom

While yea it's AI, I believe we need to stop making the lizard people feel like they need to hide. Like how many politicians would be able to live their best life and be less shit if we supported lizard people's right to hold office

Yeah, the real Washington county seriff's office would never post stuff like this.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Maybe the Sans Seriff office would

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

There really should be a united font against this sort of thing.

[–] LifeLemons@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

I know it's fake but not AI

The original image makes me inclined to think it was originally a "lot lizards" joke

Plus Hagerstown doesn't look that clean or brightly lit.

Edit: for folks that don't live in northwestern Maryland: Hagerstown is a shithole that collects everyone who was recently released from the state penitentiary up there. It's main claim to fame is being a railroad hub, but, as you'd imagine, that has not been the greatest economic boom in the last 50 years. And it's not as convenient as Frederick for being a commuter community down to DC.

Look on the bright side. It's not Cumberland. They've also got a state prison and their main claim to fame was the C&O canal and people setting out on the Oregon trail. I'd say those things are worse economically than being a railroad hub.

I think that's just a coincidence

Edit: This is sarcasm

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yes, very coincidental that the pedestrian crossing lines only go half way across the width part way through the intersection.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago

I mean... I have seen that on poorly maintained roads...

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago

Clever girls...

I want this to be the next mystery drone scare, the next spooky clown sightings, the next run of monolith discoveries.

We need to not just make dozens of dinosaur costumes but dinos in cocktail dresses and with boobs. And then get the group to hang out in red light areas long enough for candid snapshots.

We can do this!

Those just argonian maids in their leisure time, living the life.

Being lusty takes a lot of work

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 16 points 1 day ago

They're lot lizards, not dinosaurs.

[–] ToxicWaste@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago (4 children)

dressing up in a costume -> hobby

harassing people -/-> hobby

the dissonance in these two posts

Girls will be girls 🤷‍♀️

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 37 points 1 day ago

They aren't harassing people. They're harassing motorists. Very different.

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They're not real, most importantly

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're right, there are no single lady-velociraptors in my area :(

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You've got to move to the Cretaceous area

[–] burgersc12@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Only if I can hack my way back in time laser raptor

[–] frezik@midwest.social 12 points 1 day ago

Harassing people is a hobby if you do it right.
