I prompted one of AI apps with this;
Generate a picture of a nurse holding a globe 🌎 in one hand, with blue scrubs and a stethoscope around her neck . The nurse should be standing in water with an impression that she just came out of water, of course wet. The nurse should be black with short hair.
Then the app generated this photo. Which features show that this photo is AI generated.?
One day, a man killed a large ox and roasted it. Then he said to his brother: "Go invite our friends and neighbors to come and share this meal."
His brother went out and shouted into the street: "Help! Our house is on fire! Come quickly!"
People ran out, some pretended not to hear... but a few ran to help.
Once inside the house, these people discovered an unexpected feast. They ate and drank their fill.
Later, the man said to his brother: "I don't recognize these people... Where are our friends? Our neighbors?"
The brother replied: "These are our true friends. They came without delay, thinking they were saving us. Not to feast.
The others? They didn't even look up."
👉 Someone who is only there when things are going well, but never when you cry for help... that's not a friend. They're just a casual guest.

Honey Business 101 🍯😂
Some guys out here are mixing boiled sugar, crushed pawpaw, and even throwing in live bees just to convince you it’s "organic honey" 😂😂 Imagine bees doing customer care: "Yes madam, this is 100% natural!" 🐝💼
How to spot real honey: 👉 Doesn’t dissolve quickly in water 👉 Burns slowly, not like sugar syrup 👉 Natural aroma, not that candy-shop smell 👉 No pawpaw vibes or bee drama inside the jar 😅
Is it profitable? Yes! Real honey sells like hot cake, especially if it’s raw and well-packaged. Low maintenance, high demand, sweet profits 🐝💰
Can a Mesher do it? Absolutely! With some training, basic tools, and a love for nature (and maybe a bee suit), a Mesher can buzz their way into the honey biz! (Photo credit to the owner)
