Babylon had an episode with 5 minutes of Playstation-level CGI in 1994 and that was at the limit of what their production schedule would allow.

Not as slow as you would think, but I would suppose it would depend on how good the CG artist is at the time.

Here is an article about Babylon 5, which used 24 Amiga 2000's instead of a dedicated graphics machine.
And it only took 45 minutes a frame.

You see her face for like 8 frames. An exhaustive analysis of her complexion, blemishes and imperfections is not possible from the available data nor, arguably, necessary.

My pulse started rising when I played this, but I remembered the one that terrified me as a kid involved a soccer ball, not a frisbee. And it ends with a little smoking hand, limply falling into frame.

Pringles aren't legally chips, they're crisps in the US.

quote:

In 1975, the FDA decided that the company could call Pringles “chips” only if they called out the dried potato ingredient. Instead, Pringles decided to use the term “crisps.”

They did this to avoid tariffs/import taxes.

And the cans do call out the dried potato ingredient anyway. Well done.

Is tuna on a Pringle really all that different from tuna on a cracker?

I do the eating tuna salad with pringles thing sometimes. You have to get the right flavor of pringles to suit your salad and use two crisps to scoop with. It's pretty much like eating tuna salad with crackers but with a little extra flavor from the chips.
Overall it's unremarkable beyond an excuse to buy pringles.

Just the other day these ne'er-do-well 12-year-old Millennials who hang out by the local ice-cream social with their mohawks and their raps and their dubsteps were passing around these little carvings which I believe in their parlance is called a "thicc hoochie mama":



This new form of degenerate behaviour is clearly the herald of the end-times.



On a serious note, of course an AI trained on the internet will make women look like a thicc anime. Or else the kind of people will use it will make it so. One of the more worrying things about AI content generation is that it's trained by either the internet at large or largely male, largely white software engineers. This is why that famous extension of The Girl with the Pearl Earring is actually pretty loving repulsive when you think about it for a second or two because of course it places a woman in a domestic setting.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Guy behind him cool with it though
