There's a perfectly good olive in there.

You think the average person that would be susceptible to falling for such scams would take the time to download the image to open it in an app that allows that? You can't just click them if you open the image in a browser, even on a phone. You need to open it in an app that actually allows that. If I long press an image in anything other than my photo app, it just opens the share/save menu.

Well I can rule out developer at Ubisoft if you're thinking.

put item on sidewalk with sign that says "free!"

Item sits there for months

Remove sign that says free, and replace with one that says "$100 OBO"

Item is gone by morning

This image looks like it was by Stephen Gammel. Specifically, like it's trying to recreate Harold. But it's not Harold. Is this AI generated?

Edit: Yeah, it is. 😮‍💨

At this point, because the urls are in an image, I have to think that either

A) Nicole is just not a very good scammer, inept about how basic technology works.

Or

B) The OG Nicole had been contained before the urls became images, and the current incarnations are just someone fucking around.

Especially with how quickly some users latched onto this drama (creating a whole community about it even!) it just feels like it's not even real at this point.

Thought "zardOz" sounded familiar, looked it up because I was curious what else they might have done. It sounded familiar because of a Sean Connery movie. 🤣

"Might."

I have kinda been thinking about this a lot recently; I vent and say I can't find anyone and get told it's because I'm not going to bars or whatever to meet people.

The kind of person I would be compatible with wouldn't be at the bar, either. They would be here, on Lemmy, shitposting.

Wait... You mean to say you didn't mask it before you painted it? Why?

What about someone who is ultra competitive but also has good sportsmanship?

Some might say that is winning.
