For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Crush the children

This is why I hate AI. I can no longer just enjoy images like this one I have to take a moment to doubt it. Like every cat/pet video, now.

For anyone still wondering, this is natural tree growth. Anything attached to the trunk eventually gets grown over TheThing-style and it looks exactly like that.

This reminds me, is there a Lemmy version of TreesEatingThings?

This almost looks like a horror prompt.

This forest has a hunger: as old as its roots, boundless like its leaves, hidden within the bark, deep under the earth and moss. It hungers for children. So come and play, bring your toys and bicycles, your games and laughter.

It will consume it all, and grow evergreen.
