Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

This looks like AI, too many details in the toes, rest of the foot, legs and knees. It would be a wonder to find one such turnip, let alone a matching one

It's too good for AI, but photoshop, maybe AI in photoshop idk...

[–] mugthol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, photoshop is also possible, but I think a human would have tried to make it at least believable (no nails on the toes for example)

I wonder if this an evolution of the square watermelons known in Japan.

I doubt you could make it have this level of details and I think that technique cannot be used for stuff that is grown in the soil

You're probably right, and this in particular seems to be a sculpture with a turnip plant glued on top, per @Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de

That def makes the most sense aside from Photoshop or AI.

I don't know much about growing produce, but I'd think making a mold for something that grows underground would be more difficult than something that grows on top of the soil.

*My bad- should have read previous comments closer. Good convo yall

It has the correct number of toes so not AI.
