Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to inform you of a fire that has broken out on the premises of 123 Cavendon Road...
From today, dialing 999 won’t get you the emergency services. And that’s not the only thing that’s changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times and better-looking drivers mean they’re not just the emergency services — they’re your emergency services. So, remember the new number: 0118 999 881 999 119 725… 3.

I know the number is exaggerated for comedic effect, but it blows my silly little 'murican mind that phone numbers in the UK have variable length. All of our numbers are the same length. Country code (1), area code (757) prefix (368) and then the line number (0441). I'm sure something else might exist for super niche things or something, and we've got the 3 digit important numbers, like 911 (emergency/cops) or 988 (suicide prevention hotline), but personal numbers are always 7 digits plus the area code. It's just weird to my brain that the length can be variable within a country.
Also, try giving that example number a call...

This sounds like something out of Rusty Lake to me, but needs more owls.

It also blows my American mind how memorizable that long number is. It's probably largely the jingle, but I can remember that cold without thinking about it for years. But I can only hold like 4 American phone numbers in my head. Without my contacts I can call: myself (helpful), my wife (I'd better), and both of my parents (good to have backups).
That's the end of the list.

I still remember every phone number from the day I learned to memorize phone numbers until I got my first cell phone. I remember my pager number. I remember my high school best friend's parents' number. I still know the number to the Mongolian BBQ joint that I ordered from when I was stationed in South Carolina. None of these are useful to me.
Also of no use is my icq number from the 90s that I remember.
However, the only useful numbers I remember are my main phone number, my parents land line (but that's a holdover from before my first cell), and one friend who lives out of state. I don't know anyone's number who lives within 4 hours of me.
I don't know what's wrong with my brain.

Same thing that's wrong with mine: the brain is really good at working collaboratively with other shit, and that means if the phone can remember the numbers your brain will happily give that task to the phone. I can remember so many number from before I had a cell, and almost none since then.
It's also got to do with repetition. We used to dial the number each time, now we almost never type the digits in, just pull up a contact (or more likely, a text from them) and hit call

Parts of it were, but parts were hand drawn, all of the text was put in manually with the comic neue font, and the whole thing was assembled piece by piece in gimp.

Why does AI use this beige background color?

It'd be half as bad if you weren't doing this whole watermark thing in my opinion

I'm guessing the text wasn't AI

If you know a post you publish on lemmy used AI in its making, i recommend disclosing that so people dont start complaining about the use of AI and downvoting the post

Like that would stop them.

No, just plagarized.

No, just plagarized.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]That is a better way of putting it, but also requires someone trying to pass off the image as their own. So it wouldn't really be plagarism if you just said it was a generated image off the bat imo.
In the context of the OP I don't think it's plagiarism though since only some of the images is generated
