The kid is flying through the house like Superman and looks so blasé about the situation
Meanwhile, a wolf or cat does this and it's "natural."
It's funny + efficient.
Kids put parents in boxes. Kid in picture probably giggles like crazy when dad does this. If a kid wants to ride her little tykes bike down her little tykes slide, she’s much more likely to try it first with one parent over the other.
Is this AI? I hope not :(
Why? Will it matter?
It does. I mean how is it funny if it's not real?
It's describing a phenomenon. The image is there only for illustration purposes.
It's a fake img pretending to be real tho
In the shitpost community.
Idk man, i would rather not have fake images you can't tell from real ones in my feed.
Cause: a) It's AI. AI is proven to be bad for environment. b) Doesnt matter if its shitpost. I won't mind it too much if it was like a cartoon or something. But when it is a very realistic fake image and you don't mention it is AI that's awful
To be clear, I don't know if it's AI or not. Neither do I care in this context.
I am not the original poster.
About your trust in photos in your feed that they are real, you shouldn't trust them.
Everything can be generated using AI. your best bet is to verify it yourself in crucial contexts.
The top reverse image search tools for me are Google and Yandex. If you can't verify it yourself than assume the worst.
Alr, then. My bad

Oh!
I am a mom, but used to sometimes carry my oldest by her feet, in one hand, squirming like a fish, when she had a fit somewhere out in the world when she was toddler age. The change of perspective seemed to help. That kid also ended up being an acrobat.
My brother always held babies so awkwardly, even his own, it was funny.
My two year old finds being held up by the feet funny so this will sometimes literally end a tantrum with laughter.
I'm a full-grown adult and hanging upside down & doing flips absolutely is my antidepressant & mood regulator!
I wish someone could carry ME around like this.
Yeah sorry mate, most I can do is spend years of my life mastering the art of suspension bondage
:3
Someones getting the hang of it
You may want to call me daddy but i'll always be dad
What's up with the door? Ah, generated I guess...
Are dads like this even?
Possibly, but there's a weird line across his shirt too in the same place. It reminds me of a bad panorama but that wouldn't make sense here since it's vertical.
Just building up the kid's imagination by helping him "fly."
It's like an animal carrying their cubs.
We used to call it the baby briefcase!
I mean, that's more Uncle energy to be honest....
