Yes, but I only have a source in Swedish (specifically the later part of the video). To summarize: The national media SVT has this ‘task-force’ that verifies/debunks claims being spread on social media. In the video I linked to, they compare the clip Israel posted of Netanyahu getting coffee with pictures the cafe took and earlier posted pictures of the cafe. The same was done for the outside of the cafe shown in a different clip. Everything was highly consistent and unlikely to be AI. The only oddity, a disappearing ring, is likely due to video quality andor/ hand positioning.

What? Why wouldn’t they use the data they already have? The only way you would find that uncanny is if you assumed that data submitted to a company in one context is never re-used outside that context. No such promise was ever made; On the contrary, I seem to recall that we were told from the start that model building was the goal.
Niantic has pulled sheisty moves, but this isn’t one of them.

No, that was blamed on acetaminophen a.k.a. Tylenol
- Comment on The people who believe "progressiveness is just a fad that one grows out of" are the same people that grew up getting brainwashed into regressive politics. The belief is only true for them. 4 weeks ago:

- Comment on Slingshot is a nice detail 😁 4 weeks ago:
The little girl is getting kicked out by her parents because she “will never be pretty”, which is all a girl is worth according to misogynist belief.

Tbh, I feel like calling this “sad” doesn’t do a good enough job of refuting the underlying misogynist belief (that a woman’s worth is her looks) that the parents have.

It seems to be about phonetics and association:
Phat-aginus -> “Fat vaginas” -> Super-FUPA, where FUPA apparently is the medical acronym for Fat Upper Pubic Area

You’ve re-framed an old philosophical problem: Why does (an omnipotent, benevolent) God allow evil? See Theodicy on Wikipedia
- Comment on I hate how inescapable politics are on Lemmy, but ya know, at least nobody's constantly asking how I wipe my butt or pick up my dog's poop then completely ignoring me when I try to answer. 3 months ago:
Interesting! As a seeing person who used to walk the family dog, I can attest to the technique of using your foot as a landmark - it was invaluable in order to not lose track of the pile among similarly-colored fallen leaves while I was getting the bag ready.

For the uninitiated: This is a Swenglish joke, a mistranslation of “It’s not the speed (fart) that kills, but the impact (smäll)”

I know this is old, but it is a bit irksome that this post is titled “Fact of the day” when it can’t even keep its facts straight about which country does what.
Those signs aren’t from Sweden. Our traffic agency (who prints the signs) doesn’t use ‘fart’ meaning ‘speed’ - except for ‘gångfartsområde’, ‘walking speed area’, which disappointingly enough doesn’t even have the text on it - but mainly uses ‘hastighet’ meaning ‘velocity’. Other commenters in this thread have posted examples of ‘fart’ in a different meaning being used on Swedish traffic signs.

‘Hastighet’ means velocity.

And OP didn’t post the german one what I could see. I’m disappointed, I would have liked to see a line acknowledging that this as a crosspost/translation.
