ITT-toy images with this same energy
>>11614208That's actually pretty cool. I've seen plenty of sun-bleached and dry-rotted figures, but never something like that.
I remember being baffled as a 5 year old why my toys were disappearing when I left them outside overnight.

>>11614835Do you think he had a toy car up his ass when he crashed his Porsche?
>>11614838did he get rear ended?
I’m trying to find an image of a Jigglypuff toy that had been stuck in cement for decades. Google search is such fucking garbage
>>11614841All the time, but I don't think it had anything to do with his car crash.>the captcha knows what I'm talking about
>>11614858Google putting AI behind their search has really amde it hard to find stuff that used to be easy to find.
>>11615056It's actually worse than that. Someone at Google decided the search engine worked too well, so if you got the results you wanted in one search and didn't have to dig through crap to find what you wanted it meant less "traffic" which is bad, because high traffic is the measure of a good website, so they made it function worse.
>>11616893I guess so because I'm having the same probem that >>11614858 is having. There used to be tons of pictures of found vintage rotted/sunbleached Star Wars figures on the internet, and now it's fuck-impossible for google image search to bring any up.
>>11616893>>11616923I can understand this with Google, but why is this also happening with other search engines? Bing, yandex, duckduckgo, startpage, not all of them show the same pictures but they all show crap that's nothing like what I requested. Some of the more obscure engines would have gained popularity if they made it their goal to become more accurate than Google (which honestly should be easy), but they still end up being just as bad.
>>11617199Because they all are interested in the same thing, profit from ad revenue.I miss cuil, that was the best fuckin' search engine to find obscure shit.
>>11614858>>11617199>Yandex stopped showing adult videos related to your search>Google basically stopped showing any results besides the first 2 images for your results>Bing no longer shows proper resultsYeah, AI is kinda to blame for this. They literally all replaced their working search aggregator for something that doesn't work. Not to mention they've been trying to clean up adult searches.
>>11619068Can you really blame them when children have easy acces to porn? The jigs up, parents have noticed and want things to be clean which will just further continue to erode future generations and lower the iq
>>11619070>Can you really blame them when children have easy acces to porn?That's the fault of the parents for making sure every kid has smartphones instead of toys.
>>11619173You voted for this.
>>11619070I can blame them for giving their children unsupervised access to the internet. My parent's generation let the tv raise their kids and then complained about the quality of shit on tv.Parents are always to blame because the majority don't want to be parents, they just want all the benefits of having kids with none of the responsibilities. They want their genetic legacy and to have someone to look after them in their old age, but they don't want to put in any of the work.
Google has become hopeless now. Its particularly bad if there is a "contested namespace" issue. You haven't got a chance searching for something technical or scientific if its a widely abused term for example, or if you're searching for a name vaguely like someone more famous. Its a perennial problem but the power of the algorithm is now ridiculous and AI on top makes it worse. Autocorrecting your search is bad enough, I swear its started doing "sounds a bit like" or "looks like you've mistyped [something completely different]" since the AI came in.The irony is its converging on being exactly the sort of search engine (a glorified index) that Google originally made redundant.
Anyone knows the current status of these nendos in jar thingy that was trendy years back?
>>11619655You can use those clear gel balls people use for plant displays then top up with water to give it the illusion of floating as the water will make the balls invisible. So I imagine these were just done for a few pictures then taken out and dried again or they’d probably end up getting a bit damaged.
>>11615056It was not so great before that.
>>11619309Some of this is true but quite a bit is not.
>>11620008yeah it took a dive a little while before ai even really hit the scene from what i recalli remember when yandex used to be much better than google pre-2020 but somewhere along the way it's for real just dogshit, like at least lens is okay half the time, yandex image search flat out does not work for me whatsoever
>>11620385At least yandex is still good for finding torrents and resources of pirated media, google scrubs the hell out of them. But everything related to images is screwed across the board unfortunately.
>>11620385>yandex image search flat out does not work for me whatsoeverChrome or Edge? Try Yandex.ru.
>>11619068>Yeah, AI is kinda to blame for this.AI is making it worse, but internet searching has been painfully inbred for a while now. Some years back I was searcing for reference images of some kind of factory, and literally every image result was from Minecraft unless I specifically put (-minecraft) in the search. SEO is largely to blame. AI is just kicking SEO into hyperdrive.
>>11616893Ted was right

>>11619309There are plenty of imbeciles too stupid to live, that should definitely never be allowed to procreate. But they'll keep trusting their Facebook walls, letting people yell at them on You Tube and TV for their news, and trust a stupid TikTok for investment advise, so clearly they are meant to be the parents of not just the future, but of 'today.'
>>11619309>the majority don't want to be parentssad, but true. Unfortunately when it came to boomers, they were handed the cushiest economy in the history of the world on a silver platter, so a lot of them married their high school sweetheart without a second thought and started pumping out kids—many of which grew up to be maladjusted millennials raised by sociopathic parents who hated each other as soon as the honeymoon was over.>They want their genetic legacy and to have someone to look after them in their old age, but they don't want to put in any of the work.The older I get and the more I started to see my mom and dad as people instead of parents, the more I was able to identify this logic behind all of their behaviors. It's fairly depressing. You know how they say "never meet your heroes"? Meeting your parents can be a thousand times worse.
>>11615056adding "-AI" and "before:2022" help a little
>>11617199>>11617202>>11619068They are also all scrapping from each other. One of them starts using AI replies and then the rest of them all started doing. One of them started adding "shopping" as a response even if you asked something like "How clean LEGOs" or "Marvel Legends Wolverine Reviews."It is all profit driven, but it's also that people are now trained to rely on and not do their own research and legwork. Because sheeple are fucking lazy as fuck and stupid to boot.
>>11614208kinda sad more people didn't dump images and show interest in this thread while we're still flooding with stupid Funko spam posts from clear shitposters.
>>11630999Like we were saying, it's gotten hard to find pics like these now, blame google's enshitification.
>>11631442you posted AI
>>11633298nta but this blogpost indicates it's from 2013https://blog-livedoor-jp.translate.goog/plmh/archives/27147447.html?_x_tr_sch=http&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Mother Shipton's cave has some interesting pictures if you search around, the water has a high calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate content which causes things to petrify if hung under the waterfall, a lot of people leave toys and other objects there
