Diprotodon, the proto-wombat, was the size of an SUV. They lived alongside anatomically modern humans in Australia for about 10,000 years until going extinct about 25-40,000 years ago. If they had proportionally sized cubic poop, it would be the size of a cinderblock, I think?
Something I found on Reddit.  It shows a hypothetical scale-up of the wombat, probably ahistorical, as the Diprotodon is from a distinct lineage from the modern wombat, but it gets the idea of size across by putting it next to a modern northern hairy-nosed wombat.

I mean, no, the reason cops are disproportionately likely to say they believe rates of false allegations are higher than they are is because cops are disproportionately likely to do things that would make them the subject of allegations that are true
Most criminal justice experts estimate that 2 to 8 percent of sexual assault allegations are actually false. But law enforcement officers tend to assume the rate of false reporting is much higher—in part because police officers don't always receive training on how trauma can affect memory or behavior.

See I don't think CDProjekt ever promised a GTA-like sim. I think a lot of expectations were projected onto Cyberpunk based on what people chose to see in the early videos and not based on what CDPR actually said.

Video games are rad because there are more great games than anyone could ever finish, yet there will still be a guy with a tattoo of Vector the Crocodile who does nothing but grind thousands of hours of Sonic Heroes speedruns. And deep down, you know that guy is a realer one than you will ever be.

These types of adverts are all you see in Thailand; like every single mom and pop restaurant has this exact same slop sign and photos. You would not believe the franken-food I have seen... if I thought the photos were of actual food I would receive, I would never eat anywhere. 💀💀

When I first heard about AI being used for menus and advertisements, my concern was largely that it would be used to idealize the food and make it look better than it actually was. At no point did I imagine that restaurants would willingly put out horrific looking images of their food on purpose

Everyone in creative work for hire knows most of the job is clients asking you for something bad and stupid and you figuring out how to make something completely different while convincing them it's what they asked for. The AI era means everyone gets to see what clients actually want
