    This reminds me of that creepypasta about how humans evolved the uncanny valley because we once had to be afraid of human looking beings that were not human…

    Some of the creatures’ motions look like an 80’s animatronic. The VHS filter really adds to this. A+ unsettling vibes from this video.

    I’m usually against all things AI, but this eeriness is impressive. There’s a little Ghibli in it, don’t you think? the chimaeras.

      Huh, well that’s it exactly. There’s an almost innocent etherealness to it. These monsters aren’t here for you, to interact with you, they’re just here and this is what they look like. You don’t understand their motives, or really anything about them, because they’re far too other, you only perceive the similarities, and that’s where the terror is. You get the sense you’re seeing something secret, because if they did notice you, you feel like it would be a very different interaction.

        Well put. Really nails what watching deep-sea creatures (real ones) feels like. With the added strangeness that these… look so much more familiar, in a perverse way, as if they took our likeness to better lure us…

      Oohh, this was the reference/association my brainhole couldn’t trace!

      Too creepy & homey at the same time.

    I woke up because I needed to pee, brought my phone with me because I realized I was probably gonna poop.

    Guess who’s gonna have nightmares now when they get back to bed!

    Dropping that link in the family chat. Should be fun. We can all bond over shared suffering after their anger passes.

      I didn’t… I repost what I find on discords, reddit and Facebook. I did do a series a while back on teeth using dall-e

      I used to date the one @32s, but the hotness @46s would not acknowledge my existence (can’t blame them tbh).

      But anyway their habitat got wiped out years ago due rising water temperature & Susan got caught in fishnets, both terrible tragedies.

        I hear Brenda’s doing pretty well these days. Married a stock broker who likes toothy BJs.
