As an aside, Crestone, CO used to have a restaurant called The Roadkill Cafe. "You Kill it, We Grill it" https://www.chieftain.com/story/special/1993/06/09/crestone-s-roadkill-cafe-popular/8558053007/

Thank god I’m a botanist. While the fact that my photo reels are entirely composed of detailed close-ups of plant sex organs is a bit disconcerting when you think about it, they’re much more aesthetically pleasing than dead animals.

To each their own!

"Remember that day?" -> 5 pictures of my cat sleeping in boxes

That could be literally any day since I got them you stupid phone.

There was a viral one a awhile ago, and it was just a load of photos of his smashed up car that he'd taken for insurance purposes.

Great day out, thanks for the memories.

Back when google photos used to make videos of things you have done and taken lots of photos for, it made a video for me of a camping trip that prominently featured photos of a dead wild horse. Complete with confetti effects.

Last week my phone showed me the happy memory of my grandmas grave. Yeah, thanks. How do I turn this off?

Same here. Except it was the day my mother died.

As a healthcare worker Google recommends the strangest things. Such as a slide show of people with injuries set to some upbeat music, or color popping an injury.

My job involves organs and sometimes I take photos for various reasons, often to demonstrate something to a physician or to cover my ass (identifying patient info is removed from the photo...not a HIPAA violation). Sometimes my phone likes to show these as memories lol.

What phones have the audacity to randomly show you photos you took way back, so I can avoid those phones?

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

It's a "feature" of Google photos and whatever the iOS equivalent of that is. You can just turn it off if you don't want to see it.

My dog had stomach issues for ages that took us a while to work out. My partner and I were monitoring his poos for some time, so if we were walking him solo we'd send a photo to the other as an update.

So yeah, memories of dog shit in varying textures.

I get a picture of a receipt for my expense report.

I will never not laugh at this. Every moment is so perfectly timed.

I spearfish and my phone gives me random pictures of dead fishes. And cooked fishes.

[–] numberfour002@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

No dead animal pics for me, but lots of random bugs, flowers, mushrooms, leaves, rocks, and sunsets.
