I agree with the sentiment but not with using a probabilistic ai detector which routinely put out wrong results. I checked for ai watermarks at slopornot.ai and there don't seem to be any, giving the image just a 65% of being ai. Now I agree that the flowers look suspicious but it could still be an artificial flower bed with some oversaturation going on. Unless the source given by op has a history of posting slop, I am inclined to believe this might be real.

    I don't think this image is AI because of the background composition. While I agree the pattern on the right arm looks a little weird, that alone doesn't proof it's AI. It could be edited using AI but might just be photoshopped. Also you shouldn't trust AI detection software, it doesn't work.

    That is mostly true when the moon stands directly above the equator, however its orbit isn't fixed to the equator so the duration can vary during a month the same way the duration of the sun being in the sky varies over the year. So especially near the poles it is possible to see the moon for more than 24 hours or not at all for multiple days.

    This sounded very wrong to me, so I googled and apparently they had a setup where the reflected air from the sail caused a net flow in the opposite direction allowing them to move forwards. But that is less effective than just blowing the air straight backwards without a sail.

    As someone who has tried studying all three languages, Korean and Japanese are actually quite similar. Many grammar patterns like particles and conjugations can be directly translated and many loanwords from Chinese sound very similar in both languages. So knowing either one certainly does make learning the other one easier.

    Adolescents attending schools with restrictive, compared to permissive policies had lower phone (adjusted mean difference −0.67 h, 95% CI −0.92 to −0.43, p = 0.00024) and social media time (adjusted mean difference −0.54 h, 95% CI −0.74 to −0.36, p = 0.00018) during school time, but there was no evidence for differences when comparing usage time on weekdays or weekends.
