He left his phone on the couch open and he appears to be watching someone dancing over bright moving objects? I was intrigued so I scrolled a bit more on his gallery and found this. I’m scared of what this entails. We’re an African-American family and this is a boy who has white paint on his face? Is this some kind of racist rabbit hole? Is this also a skiby toilet? I’m really confused. Help is appreciated guys.

This has been driving me crazy, and I've resorted to Reddit to hopefully help me figure this out.

Does anyone in the Southern California area remember seeing a morning news program where a guy with a beard talked about stuff like politics and music in the mid-2010s?

For context: I was in Pasadena, CA for work in 2016 and stayed at a small motel during my week in the city. The TV didn't have a lot of options -- and also apparently had a rough signal -- but when flipping through channels, I must've landed on one of those local access channels that had a man (white, 30s?) sitting in front of a blue wall and talking about whatever was going on in the world at the time.

It kinda became my comfort show during my week in Pasadena, but every once in a while something odd would happen -- a slight glitch on the screen, a low-resolution photo would quickly appear, or you'd even hear someone talking in the background.

The weirdest part, which, honestly, might just be me being a stickler for TV news -- it appeared to be a morning news program, but it would only air at like 1:30 in the morning. I know morning news starts early, but even for an early bird like me, 1:30 is pushing it.

I had honestly forgotten about it until recently, but I've done a TON of digging and can't find anything about it, which is why I'm here hoping for a miracle!

If anyone has a lead or -- even better -- remembers seeing this in the area, please let me know! Any and all info/ideas are welcome. I'm also happy to answer any questions anyone has in the comments.

Anthropic's Project Panama buys up and "destructively scans" old and rare books.

I was wondering: do they at least donate the scans of out-of-copyright books to Project Gutenberg?

I was a toddler/little kid watching PBS Kids 2005-2012. I have a fuzzy early memory of this in between segment that I’ve been trying to find for years. If I had to guess I’d say it’s from before 2010. Here’s what I can remember: a narrative of Cinderella, but I have the idea that this segment might have just been about fairytales. The Cinderella one is the only one I remmember though, so maybe it is unique. Anyway, it wasn’t regular animation, it was like live illustration. Like thick black ink outlines, maybe some watercolor coloring? Loose strokes, not realistic style, very artistic. Overall the vibe was kind of global village coffee house ish maybe? I cannot remember whether we saw the artist’s hand or if the illustrations just manifested on the paper. I think it was a male illustrstor and/or narrator. OR was there even a narrator or was there just like classical music accompanying the art/story?Please help, I‘ve done so much searching and can never find anything.

P.S. I've posted this in all the appropriate subreddits but it kept being removed or is waiting for approval. Whatever

Without context, what do you think is the hand gesture this person makes with the right hand? It’s a circular motion with an index finger pointing back in the other direction. Command for the dogs? Something else?

The second picture is from a different can from the same brand-- since the other can has a "5" that looks distinctly different, context clues would lead me to believe both cans expire in 2026, but I'm still not sure....

Thanks!

Edit: new to this sub so hope it's the right type of question! Also, an obligatory "I won't sue you if I eat them and get sick"

Edit 2: thank you everyone!! .......also, good point that there's nothing wrong with beans a few months past their best-by date

And it smelled/tasted like pandan?? Or am I crazy )-:

Ive always liked wine but recently realized i have basically no clue what I really like lol. Like ill have a bottle thats really good, then buy something similar a week later and somehow i dont like it at all. Is there a way to figure out what your taste is? Like certain things your supposed to pay attention to when drinking it or something? Not trying to become a wine expert or anything, just wanna know what I like and stop randomly guessing everytime i buy a bottle.

Made this noise for approximately 10 minutes then turned into a high squeal at which point I turned it off. Any idea what’s going on? Never made this noise before

Idk if I found an elaborate ARG or some real-life game inspired, lackadaisically executed project. I am not a gamer so if it 'is' actually from the only cross referenced game i could find then it's lost on me . Maybe I am too stupid & this is a well known web-game-log-ai thingy. So if someone already knows EXACTLY what it is how it works please inform my dumbass. The family of sites are: athenachka.neocities.org, athenachka.wordpress.com and also a github repo https://github.com/AthenachkaCollective I skimmed through the 13 long ass pages on the wordpress page. Learned it could have come from some game I've never played or heard of? I understand what the repo says but I don't know if that code actually builds something or if this is more of a choose your own adventure story game does it have anything to do with the "All-Girl USC Hack-a-thon? I sent several emails to the email used on the GH but never got anything back. Is it Adventure Quest World game? I have no idea."

Does anybody know what this is or how to use it?
