Red White and Blue Cake: Easy Firecracker Dessert for July 4th
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
I saw this old black and white photo of Hitler in his coffin. I did a screenshot of it and haven’t been able to verify its authenticity since, but it looks enough like him for me to dance on his grave with an AI filter. Too soon?
I'm not so sure that is Hitler. It is my understanding that his body was burned, at least partly, after his suicide. The Russians at some point took what was left and destroyed it. There is no known grave.
I'm not so sure that the comments Hal posted on that photo refer to Hitler. but maybe to some other authoritarian.
That is correct !!
I’ll admit that I’m not up on my Hitler history. Good riddance though. This is where I saw the photo. The article was behind a paywall so I didn’t read it.
maybe that picture was taken after his brains stained the couch in the bunker, right before he got his gasoline bath in the courtyard ...
Yeah, maybe.
I like the AI piece a lot. Really nice. Very creative.

Super photos. Although I've been to Boston more than once there are only a few things about it that I can remember - being on board the SS Constitution, watching a Red Sox game in Fenway Park and the boulevard that is very wide where citizens tend to their small gardens.
Thanks!

Some fireworks over the years...
Fun & Games
So are you in on the fish ?
Evening....happy 4th of July to you mob across the sea when it comes around..
As we say here sometimes it is nice have distance between friends and rellies.. something about distance makes the heart grow fonder..🤣
I did hear we are sending you mob a gift for the 4th, 250 tonnes of Vegemite!!..
Gotta be happy with that..😁
What more could you ask for..🦘
Got a big laugh over your Vegemite gift.
Maybe I should send America 250 servings of sweet and sour pork.
bloody hell, as if we don't have enough problems in this country ...
You can rub it on your body as a treatment for psoriasis.
... during grasshopper season? hell no ...
Coward
Morning Vangy..
That's what friends are for..caring and sharing..
Can recommend sun and sea water for psoriasis.. don't want to waste good Vegemite on skin..who does that?..
I know a few good beaches here, we would love to see a tasty tourist.. especially American they are on top of the "taste test" at the moment..
See now that looks a fun thing for you to do..😁 tickets are very reasonably priced..
Happy 4th of July...🦘
the only skin issue I have is that it's crepe like, because I'm so f'n old with both feet into 7+ decades on this flying mud ball ...
Well it doesn't look like you will cark it anytime soon...
Crepe skin!!! Vegemite can fix that..it's full of vitamin B2 and B3..which supports cellular repair..
So how many tonnes would you like?..😁
Like I said. Rub Vegemite all over your body. It's good for everything!
save the postage, I'll keep breathing just to spite you ...
We have ways and means..🐨
you cheeky little ripper ...
Morning Vangy..no.... that's not quite correct..
The saying here is...
You cheeky little buggar.. that's when someone is being a smart arse...
Or you little ripper.. which is an expression of something good..
Can't use those two words cheeky and ripper in the same expression..no wonder the US soldiers could never understand us during the wars..
Can't see the problem myself we speak perfect English.. just ask an Aussie they'll tell ya ..
Now first major decision for the day.. Vegemite on toast or Vegemite on muffin...gotta start the day off right..🐨
it was the right phrase the first time out. vegemite belongs on top of the rest of the garbage in the bin ...
Heathen..🐨
May your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny door in..😁
The redo on my old office paludarium. It's in my living room now. I tried to upload the unedited video here, but it's too big.
No other method to post a video? The paludarium looks great.
cool. here's a link to the rest of your youtube videos.
put a betta in with the guppies and you won't have to worry about over population. he'll eat the new born and harass the males.
I was thinking more in line of a Piranha to liven things up..a bit to sedate and peaceful..
... straight to the blood and guts. a bit out of ratio for the circumstance, don't you think? bloody hell ...
No... That's perfectly normal thinking far as I am aware..am I missing something?
Let's see, water equals things that bite, snap or sting absolutely a logical conclusion don't you agree??
... and I get grief for describing violent scenarios here, what the hell, mate ...
Awesome aquarium and your own personal Rainforest!

Wow!!!
Amazing!!!
Thanks! Luv sweet and sour pork!
It's my favourite Chinese dish, and I get to eat a lot of Chinese food these days.
Now, if we're talking about big butterflies.....
Beautiful!
Yes it is. I took that photo in Zijingshan Park in Zhengzhou, Henan Province. Here are a few more photos from that park.

I have not seen you before and would like to extend a warm welcome. If you have been here before, that's bad on me. Nonetheless, awesome butterflies. Keep posting stuff like that and you are assured status.
Thank you very much you're very kind!☺️
Morning Pink..
My favourite butterfly is the Ulysses..they live up in Queensland and the tropics..I have only ever seen one and they grow quite large..
Not my photo unfortunately..
Love it!!!
That is a very beautiful butterfly.
Evening G..yes just a pity they only live up in Queensland and the tropics.. thousands of ks away from where I live..
I couldn't believe how big they are and the iridescent blue..
One of Mother Nature's best..
... not if it ends up on your windshield at 70mph.
At least we can always count on you to put a positive spin on things. I hope you would do whatever you could to avoid slaughtering some poor, innocent butterfly.
uh huh, sure ...
Morning G...ahh but we always have ways of getting people back..
Our Huntsman love going for a drive on the windscreen...
Surprise!!
Butterfly killer
if that's riding on the outside, you're not driving fast enough ...
I didn't see the butterfly crossing sign on the highway ...
He's perfectly fine .. just enjoying the breeze..
When they drop on you while driving that can cause a bit of excitement..
Certainly not my photo..does look a handsome little cutie though...
there's probably a family of hundreds living in the box springs under your mattress ...
Pay more attention next time...
Morning...nah ours don't hide under beds..
They like to live in your house..
Ours like their creature comforts.. no roughing it for our Huntsmans...
You are really privileged when they hatch their young in your home..
It must be a real honor.
I enjoy pushing AI into areas where it gets confused. I was watching something on tv and this image of Aristotle came up. I snapped a quick picture of the screen, cropped some of it out, and then used an AI expand feature to see how it would react. It did not know how to grow this style of imagery so it came back with this cyborg looking result.
The top one looks like snake skin. You must be having a lot of fun coming up with those AI images.
A Picsart subscription is worth the fee. I think I pay $50/yr but the creativity and editing features are unlimited. All on your phone.
That's it for now. Closing up. Thanks to all contributors and friends. See you again in a few days!
