Have you noticed? The "realistic" or "realism" AI results for man/woman have apparent big heads (mostly even huge) compared to their own bodies. It's like the camera is close to the face. Even the results in Google Search have such phenomena. The obvious ones are for Asian women. Why as such for perhaps even the different AI's, why the same pattern from them?

Try searching for such now, try something like: "realistic AI Asian woman", and you'll even see ones with actual HUGE heads, most especially the "realistic" ones. Different AI programs and yet the same huge head pattern from them?

Any actual AI users, could you please share your experience too? Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.

What Did Agatha Do to Her Son, Nicholas Scratch, in the MCU?

Did Agatha trade her son for the Darkhold? A specific scene shows her fear turning into an illusion, and the book replaces her baby, implying a possible deal with a dark force, potentially Mephisto. In the comics, Agatha’s son is Nicholas Scratch, and the MCU leaves his fate open-ended. This scene might lay the foundation for a deeper exploration of Nicholas’ role and potential return.

Is Nicholas Scratch dead or alive in the MCU? Episode 3 suggests he may have died during the exchange for the Darkhold, but some speculate he could still be alive. Given the magical nature of the trade and the MCU’s history of reviving characters, Nicholas might still play a role. His story could be connected to darker forces like Mephisto.

Did Agatha’s son turn into a rabbit or become an Agent of Mephisto? Fans have speculated that Agatha’s pet rabbit, Señor Scratchy, could actually be her son, Nicholas Scratch, transformed by dark magic. This theory is supported by the fact that “Scratch” is a known pseudonym for Nicholas in the comics. The transformation could be the result of Agatha’s deal for the Darkhold, possibly conducted by Mephisto or another powerful entity. Alternatively, Nicholas Scratch may have become an agent of Mephisto, tasked with serving the demon in exchange for power. Both theories draw from comic lore, but the mystery surrounding Señor Scratchy deepens Agatha’s complex character and opens the door for further revelations as the MCU expands its magical universe.

Agatha All Along's Biggest Mysteries Spoiled By Funko Pop Characters

Who Aubrey Plaza Is Really Playing In Agatha All Along

I had my heart set on Aubrey Plaza reprising her role as the Shadow King from Legion, but she's playing a much bigger character in the MCU who was originally left out of Avengers: Infinity War. According to pictures circulating the internet, she's taking on the role of Death. In the comics she was a major factor in Marvel's Infinity War comics, but the Russos opted not to bring her to their adaptation.

Who Joe Locke Is Really Playing In Agatha All Along

CinemaBlend's Nick Venable dropped a few guesses on who Joe Locke is playing in Agatha All Along, and one of them was right on the money. I'm sure many people thought "Teen" was Billy Maximoff, but there was still speculation on whether he'd adopt the Wiccan persona in this miniseries. Based on the Funko Pop reveal, it's looking like he will be doing that, though we can't say that with absolute certainty until we see it on screen.

External images could be linked and displayed using:

  • ![](external url)

Then Lemmy images could be resized which I think also shrinks the file size; hence faster display time, save internet data, and save screen space; by adding &thumbnail=:

  • ![](https://lemmy/. .../pictrs/image/... .webp?format=webp&thumbnail=320)

So, is it possible to do similar but for any external image? Or at least generate thumbnails of many external images? Thanks in advance.

Ah, alright. Try yt-dlp.exe -S vcodec:av01. Note however, not all YouTube videos have AV1 counterparts, and then other sites use different code for AV1, so I'm not sure if the command would always work for other non-YT sites.

Just use yt-dlp.exe url.

Also, there's a dedicated youtube-dl Community, with the Mods with the same names as in Reddit's counterpart, so it's likely them too: [email protected]

Source: Gaming Bible: 2024.09.20 Marvel accidentally spoils major MCU twist early via subtitles

While it’s usually other people that spoil things for you, Marvel fans have been spoiled by the YouTube trailer for Agatha All Along, by the subtitles of all things. For Agatha All Along though you’ll want to switch them off though, as the real identity of the twist character “Teen” has already been revealed through them accidentally. If you don’t want to know who this mystery character is I’d advise you to not read any further, unless you don’t care about the spoiler.

spoiler⚠

Fans have noticed that if you go on the YouTube trailer for Agatha All Along and switch the subtitles to foreign the name “Teen” will be replaced with Billy, confirming this character is indeed Billy Maximoff. Billy is Wanda’s fake son from the WandaVision series, who she lost after lifting her spell in the series finale. He’s all grown up now it seems and slowly becoming the powerful Marvel hero Wiccan, who’s one of the Young Avengers in the comics.

NATO should at least shoot down missiles and drones which enter their sovereign airspace. Save Ukrainian lives and structures. Would also be actual experience of shooting down such actual enemy hardware in their own airspace. No simulation, no controlled environment. Would also train their AI for real.

I prefer to rewind time with me along, be young again, that kind of time travel. Of course with my knowledge and memories of up to before my "time travel", be retained. I could only remember what I could any way. The future would surely not happen exactly as the same before. Live a new younger life, a seemingly fresh restart at an early point in my life.

Thanks for the quick reply. So maybe indeed urine was the culprit of the sow bug's demise after all. I thought they were robust enough for both feces and urine, as I have seen some internet pics of pill bugs feasting on I think dog poop, although those are big pill bugs and not the small sow bugs in mine, and of course those using isopods as clean up crews in tanks, hence I arrived to the wrong conclusion. Interestingly, the small pinhead-sized beetles are not affected.

Just when I thought I got endless supply of fertilizer for almost per day. I was even dreaming of having a new raised enclosure just for the urine to be buried regularly (along with scraps) and thinking to have the sow bugs to have a feast, hence to have ready-to-use soil for pots. Before the appearance of these sow bugs, the last I've seen them were decades ago.

Luckily I still have surviving numbers from the Papaya pot which I must take care to remultiply. Back quite a while, I remember whenever I scoop the soil from the raised bed, there were immediately numerous sow bugs but none today anymore. I'm glad back some months I scooped some and put in the papaya pot.

Also glad that both onion and garlic plants have no effect on them as I remember reading they have antibacterial or something properties.

Thanks again, my friend. 👍

Hello. Any of you who have robust experience for the compatibility of the three: garlic, onion, and human urine, to isopods in garden and pot soil?

Maybe for 2 years I've been burying scraps into my small raised garden of about 1m long x 0.25m wide x 0.3m tall, located just under our front living room windows, for the hope to lure earthworms, but the isopods and beetles manifested instead. Beetles are only the size of silver pin heads, while the isopods have tinge of red, and adult size is about the length of a mung bean seed, of course not as thick. They're really small and delicate.

After 2 years I got enticed to use human urine (our own) as fertilizer. I don't really dilute it, I just dig a hole then pour the liquid and wait for it to fully settle down then re-cover with the dug soil.

Lately I noticed the population of the isopods really went down after less than a year. In fact I don't see them anymore when I dig soil anywhere there. But I don't really know if the urine affected them as my dig sites are often the same 2 locations since there are already existing plants. I only started to really see them again after I transplanted a Papaya from its pot to a bigger pot yesterday, which delighted me of their surviving small numbers there.

Still I don't really know if the urine affected the bugs or if their population simply dwindled on its own. The urine surely would not spread across the entirety of my raised garden as those are 2 same locations, and so the bugs have way larger safe areas to go to.

My adult chili pepper plant in a separate big pot also died, and my suspect was the urine because I didn't dilute it much, but I'm not really sure too, because that chili plant had been producing fruits continuously for maybe 3 months straight, and I don't know if that chili pepper plant was in fact really a perennial because I got it from the wet market. So my 2 suspects are the urine and the true lifespan of the plant.

Then how about garlic and onion plants, are they compatible with the isopods? Right now I have on the table 2 garlic bulbs, 1 red onion, and 1 white onion with sprouts already so I placed it on water in a small cup.

Now after researching, I think my bugs are sow bugs because they don't form a ball.

I really want the isopods to prosper because I noticed the buried materials were gone way, way faster.

Thanks in advance for any enlightenment.

Say whole planets, even whole timelines were pruned and sent to the MCU Void.

All possible variants of the Aliens / Xenomorps and Predators, including bosses like Queens, Newborn (Ripley's), Predalien, Ultimate/Upgrade Pred (giant), etc.

  • R1 - Only Alien franchise is pruned.
  • R2 - Only Predator franchise is pruned.
  • R3 - Both are pruned simultaneously.

Would any of the species prosper, or get eliminated? Could any representative of the species escape the Void?

Your personal FB Profile has some Friends and Followers. Then that same personal Profile of yours is a member of a certain Group Chat (not Group), but the Friends and Followers are not members of that Group Chat.

So if you use the Share function of FB and share a post, a reel, a pic (from the FB platform itself) to that Group Chat, would your Friends and Followers know that in fact you shared something to that Group Chat, or even just a general something, like say "John Doe has shared this <reel> to a Group Chat". Would such appear on their feed, notification, or somewhere else in FB?

I'm thinking of creating a separate Page, and then use that Page to share stuff (from the FB platform itself) to a Group Chat, to maintain my privacy from my Friends and Followers regarding that Group Chat. But I don't know if a Page is even allowed to join a Group Chat. Again "Group Chat" and not "Group", which are not the same. If this is allowed, please let me know too.

Thanks in advance.

Hello. When I Post by putting the video's URL, say from YouTube, the leftside square thumbnail preview is always the generic one provided by Lemmy World, the one with the the link arrow in the middle. So I simply put the URL of the thumbnail instead (eg. maxresdefault, sddefault, etc.) It's been like such since I joined.

Then just lately, I found out existing Posts in other YouTube-related Communities, the leftside square preview thumbnails do in fact show, and with the link arrow on the top-right corner instead. And I think the Body automatically inherits the existing Title and Description from the YouTube video. Both youtu.be and www.youtube.com video links work in those Communities.

Examples of YouTube-related Communities with showing Thumbnails are:

  • c/youtubehaiku
  • c/youtube

~~Here is my latest Post as example (which I have never edited yet), and I posted it via a raw Chromium profile, so no add-ons at all if they would interfere just in case:~~

  • ~~https://lemmy.world/post/19226604~~

Thanks in advance for any help.

  • When Nux crashed on the War Rig, he and Max survived intact, no injuries at all. Although Nux was unconscious for quite a time. Note that Nux was driving only a car back then, and even Max was tied as his blood bag outside, and yet they they were both perfectly fine, unbelievably especially Max who I remember got thrown. Nobody should have survived that, even leave unscathed, but they both did.

  • Then when Nux purposefully crashed the War Rig to block the path, even after the Doof Wagon eventually rammed it, both big trucks were seemingly intact after the collision. No explosion, no final Nux body nor even the sequence of his body's demise unlike Rictus'.

  • What do you guys think? Possible that Nux survived? The War Rig's cabin was in fact fully intact too, only the wheels came off IIRC. And it was Nicholas Hoult too after all.

  • Would Nux be worthy of one or a few extra adventures before his cancer finally end him?


  • Then IIRC, Nux and Capable (the redhead of "Immortan Joe's Wives") seemed to liked each other back then, showing more character development than any other War Boy. So if any WB who would probably break the tradition / programming, it could be Nux. When he uttered his final "Witness me", it could very well not for Immortan Joe (nor even for Valhalla too) anymore but for the survival of Capable and the party. So any tertiary character to have a comic, short film, short story, etc., it could be him, don't you think?

Such will give the Ukrainian pilots valuable experience before doing riskier missions against aircrafts and other riskier ground attacks.

Classic 1966 Batman & Robin: Adam West and Burt Ward, among my favorite iterations of the dynamic duo.


Burt Ward: "There are several fine actors who have portrayed Batman in films. In my eyes, there was only one real Batman. That is and always will be Adam West. He was truly the Bright Knight."
