As a perfume nerd I'd love to know what this smells like, and when it'll be used to create a new niche fragrance
Created my account 3 years ago so I could still access one of the piracy subs in case they were banned from reddit, they used to have an alt community on lemmy.ml......
I came over properly during the reddit blackout, set up the communities I most wanted to see over here (that didn't exist already), and have stayed ever since
I like the fact that the posts have (generally) sensible comments, without 1000 replies of inane drivel to sift through, overall it feels like a nice quiet corner of the internet where I can recognise usernames and have a brief chat, then be on my way
Really beautiful photo!
Some years ago, I saw a neat photo collage centered around power lines by some artist
Was it something like this?
I posted his work to collage sometime ago
I don't normally comment on news posts, but in this instance, FUCK CANCER
Fuck cancer for stealing my brother from me, and for taking half my bf's lung
I seriously hopes this works for everyone out there living with this disease, and for their families, friends, the people who love them....
.....and also for everyone who has died too soon and missed their chance for survival. Their donation of tissue samples and furthering the cancer research that ultimately wouldn't help them, but will help the poor bastards that are diagnosed today and in the future...It is bitter sweet
Fuck cancer

Going back to the pagan winter festival of Yule!
When people would decorate their dwellings with evergreens like holly, ivy, pine branches and mistletoe....and how the traditions of old have been absorbed into 'modern' day Christmas
Prompt-
3 pagan winter creatures, one made out of mistletoe, another made out of holly and ivy, and another made out of pine branches and pine needles, sat around a burning yule log, photo realistic style, ratio 16.9
(I did ask for 3 creatures and ended up with an extra one)
Made with Bing AI image creator 'celtic horned god, riding on a horse, at the head of the wild hunt, the landscape is wild and misty, photo realistic, ar 16:9'
I did another attempt this time adding the word 'Cernunnos' but I got the annoying and over zealous 'blocked content' message.....
I mean, I would actually understand it if I was asking it to do 'tits on a fish' or something....
It's my turn to set the Community Challenge for this week...
'Behold!
The God of Heart Transplants
Referencing Aztec mythology to re-imagine a once terrifying deity, into a healing one, who now guides surgeons in their work'
This weeks theme is 'Old Gods, New Jobs'
Past civilizations had deity's for everything, ones that helped explain natural phenomena, others that governed all aspects of everyday life... there was even one for door hinges
You are tasked with creating Gods/Goddesses for our modern life, they can be referenced from the past or be entirely new creations
Follow the community’s rules above all else
One comment and image per user
Embed image directly in the post (no external link)
Workflow/Prompt sharing encouraged (we're all here for fun)
At the end of the week each post will be scored according to the following grid
| Prize | Points | |
|
| | Most upvoted | +3 points | | Second most upvoted | +1 point | | Theme is clear | +1 point | | OP’s favorite (me, this week) | +1 point | | Most original | +1 point | | Last entry (to compensate for less time to vote) | +1 point | | Prompt and workflow included | +1 point | 6. Posts that are ex aequo will both get the points 7. Winner gets to pick next theme! Good luck everyone and have fun!
I'm looking forward to seeing your creations
😀
edit formatting!
'disco on the cambrian sea floor'
Prompt 'a mascot for product cream 'anusol', face looks photo realistic, agonised and desperate, surrounded by sharp spikes that look like red, sore and swollen conkers'
I had to use the word 'conkers' as Bing Image Creator wouldn't accept 'hemorrhoids' Also I got a lot of 'blocked content' warning messages whilst tinkering with the prompt, until I got suspended for an hour....at which point I thought it best to quit while I was ahead
Also for your viewing pleasure, some alternatives....(non entrys)
Prompt 'in a photo realistic style, a panoramic image of a rare whale-banana hybrid, leaping majestically from the ocean'
Made using Bing Image Creator
This is deeply fabulous!
I think this was 'futuristic-biomechanical cyberpunk'
and this was 'misc-lovecraftian'
Both done in stable diffusion online, with just 'quinacridone' for the prompt...so plenty of red
Seaweed on pebbles
Had to rescue this little Coal Tit yesterday after he/she flew into one of the windows, fortunately they were only temporarily stunned before taking off like a rocket into one of the bushes

Did anyone else see the words 'David Attenborough....' and feel their heart sink a bit, thinking he'd died?
Then I cheered up, life in the old dog yet, bless him
There are several active and very passionate communities online including Fragrantica and Basenotes.....things can get incredibly nerdy when discussing perfume, believe it or not 😀
There's also a fragrance community here on lemmy but I think it's all but dead now...
