The AI-generated cat pictures thread
Went to a non-local indoor mountain bike park on Monday (Ray's Indoor Mountain Bike Park). Absolutely loved it. When we arrived, found some damage from high winds over the previous two days - nothing particularly terrible, just some brick facade had fallen down.
And then there was that kind truck that broke it's fall. This obviously wasn't a 2016 Silverado, because I've seen the 2016 Silverado take more of a beating and not show any wear.
That's pretty much the same thing, right?
This morning, I saw an animal in my backyard that I'm not used to seeing. My immediate first reaction was "black squirrel!"...I quickly realized that I was mistaken. What the **** is this creature? Sorry for the bigfoot-esque grainy video. I had only my zoomed in cell phone camera on me in the heat of the moment.

After some further Initial research, it seems likely that I recorded an American Mink. In 34.5 years of life in Ohio, I've never, ever (ever) seen one. I didn't even know they were a thing.

(Pretty sure that's a mink. There used to be a whole industry surrounding its' pelt and oil.)

What a great thing to happen at 4am. How does this even happen? There isn't even high load, the chain should snap long before this shaft. In guessing it's not proper shaft material.

(My phone did not recognize my misspelling of chupacabra...nor does it recognize Bigfoot. Conspiracy? I think so.)

Coreopsis and milkweed are native to this area and are food for various pollinators and some striped caterpillars which make large butterflies. I can't remember their scientific name right now but they are commonly called Black Swallowtail.

It's dark now but I thought they were the green striped ones and the monarch caterpillars have no green, but I think you are correct and I have them crossed. I think the green caterpillars (black Swallowtail) were on the fennel.

Aww bummer, no more using explosions at work without a permit. :(
Also, I'm not sure that's the proper use of the word "facsimile". But maybe, I'm a retarded so I don't know.
