Realtor Uses AI to Touch Up Listing Photos, Accidentally Adds Demonic Flesh Monster

Using AI to manipulate photos has unfortunately become the norm in the real estate industry, with realtors using various models to radically transform properties to the point where people just can’t trust what a property really looks like. However, in extreme cases, AI can add some truly bizarre hallucinations that not only make zero sense, but can creep out potential buyers.

A Wahington DC property recently went viral on social media because of a rather unique detail – a horrifying flesh monster seemingly crawling out of the bathroom mirror to grab a flower pot on the sink. It’s the kind of thing only a hallucinating AI algorithm could create, but what boggles the mind is how the realtor posted the photo without noticing the nightmarish intruder,

As the photo started doing the rounds on social media, the listing, reportedly for a property in Fort Totten, was swiftly taken down from Apartments.com, but by that time, the Internet Archive had already saved a copy of the original post featuring the creepy monster.

Yup - asshoe.

China is still asshoe, too

Bizarre Weight Loss Trend Has People Using Cling Film as Mouth Condoms for Food

There is a new viral weight-loss hack sweeping Chinese social media, and it’s a doozy. Young people are putting plastic wrap over their mouths to prevent any calories from making contact with their bodies. They then pretend to chew the food vigorously through the cling film, before taking the food out and throwing it away.

The premise of this bizarre trend is pretty straightforward. The plastic wrap acts as a sort of mouth condom that prevents you from ingesting any calories, while at the same time allowing you to trick your brain into thinking that it is going to receive nutrition. This allegedly helps you feel satiated without actually consuming any calories

Go ahead - check out the whole thing. I dare you.

Staying in east Asia, how about this trend in Japan?

The Growing Popularity of Coffin Therapy in Japan

In Japan, a wellness practice known as coffin therapy (aka coffin-lying) has grown from a small funeral home experiment into a national trend. The idea is simple: people lie inside a coffin for a short period of time to reflect on life and mortality. What began in Chiba Prefecture as a unique service has now expanded to spas and workshops across the country.

Coffin therapy involves meditating inside a coffin, either open or closed, for about 30 minutes. Supporters say the enclosed space provides quiet and privacy, allowing participants to think about their lives without distractions. While the concept may seem unusual in other countries, it connects to Japan’s long-standing tradition of kuyō, or memorial services, which encourage reflection on the fragility of life and the acceptance of death.

***

A Tokyo spa called Meiso Kukan Kanoke-in offers coffin therapy sessions for about $13. Customers can choose between an open or closed coffin and may select calming music, projected visuals, or complete silence. The experience is structured to feel safe and controlled, allowing participants to explore their thoughts without risk.

Who among the Horde would do this?
