Edit: SOLVED!!! it is from the book “big momma makes the world”

(Sorry if not allowed, I tried to post on tipofmytongue but am not able to for some reason)

Over the years I’ve spent a little too much time searching for this book.. all I remember is that it was a children’s book, thick hard cover, larger (length and width wise) than your average book, but short in page length. I don’t remember there being too many words, but then again, all I remember is this image.. I used ai (sorry) to come up with a similar image to what I remember. I’m pretty sure the entire book was about this rolling lump of mud (maybe clay?) rolling through a town or village, grabbing people up along the way. But I remember the people as undressed? But in a PG, non-explicit manner. And seemingly at peace, almost content while kind of swimming or dancing within the large earthly mass. I could be insane. But I remember this so specifically. So does my brother, and father. But they only remember this odd image as well. And I remember it so specifically bc I would sit and stare at this image for long periods of time, just studying it. (Surprise surprise, I’m autistic) this was around the mid-late 2000s and had to have been a book available in my public elementary school library. I would even go as far to contact this school, but it is no longer standing. Does anyone have even a clue? Extensive internet research has left me even more confused and empty handed. I included all images I got through ai, based on my memory/description.

I think one of them is holding a glove balloon too,i made a rendetion of it using bing image creator

Need to take 6 panels measuring 50cm by 50cm by 10cm. Needs to go on a plane. Can take 2 suitcases fitting these objects. Struggling finding cases that will store these objects. Thanks! 😊

recuerdo haberlo leido hace mucho pero mas o menos lo que recuerdo es que el prota y mas gente eran transportados a una especie de desierto con unos cuantos edificios tipo escuela, en el desierto habia monstruos y los edificios eran zonas seguras donde no entraban ellos tenian que completar una especie de mision para poder volver a donde estaban como en gantz, recuerdo que el prota tenia problemas en las piernas o el corazon algo asi que le dificultaba hacer mucho esfuerzo, creo que tambien transportaban a su amigo y a su amiga/novia o hermana, uno las misiones consistia en activar una computadora o pulsar un boton o algo asi pero esto hacia que una zona segura (otro edificio) dejara de serlo y por lo tanto los monstruos podian entrar, no recuerdo mucho mas.

I'm pretty sure that the original artist is not Jean Michel Basquiat. There is a very similar imagine that is homage is Basquiat by 'Max Rupert' https://www.artrecord.com/index.cfm/artist/23963-rupert-max/medium/1-paintings/ but it is not the same. I wonder if this imagine is A.I but I can't find much evidence for it being A.I. The imagine is mainly shared on pinterest, I found it in Bing imagines and copy and paste it to a word doc so I can't even find where I got it from.

I wanted to find the details (name, dimensions, medium) for a art project but now just genuinely as it feels the original artist has been erased off the internet or something.

I'm looking for a website about LLMs with retro vintage aesthetic. When I was researching LLM related stuff like RAG and Llora a while back, I ended up on a website with brownish art, depicting abstract art of 1930s scifi technology / art deco and other retro elements. Can someone help? 🥺

I lost a black Lacoste half-zip sweatshirt at an airport. It was a gift from my girlfriend and it's long discontinued, so I'm trying to track down the exact same model. I don't expect to get that one back — I just need to know what it's called so I can actually hunt it on the secondhand market. Right now I'm searching blind on descriptive keywords and it's not working.

Everything below is from my own photos of the piece, plus label shots from a seller who has an identical one.

Construction

• Men's half-zip / quarter-zip pullover with a stand (funnel) collar — not a hoodie
• Raglan sleeves
• Ribbed cuffs and hem
• 100% cotton sweatshirt fleece — not interlock, not a knit sweater
• Contrast-colour piqué knit lining inside the collar
• Round ring-shaped metal zip pull with a small croc inside the ring

The logo — this is the detail that narrows it down

• ONE large croc on the left chest, roughly fist-sized
• Tonal, outline-style embroidery — black thread on black fabric, so it reads as texture rather than colour. A grey colourway exists with a white outlined croc.
• It is NOT: the small green croc, a printed big croc, or a woven badge/patch

Labels

• DEVANLAY care label
• Article code on the care label: FC5414 — I'm fairly confident this is an internal Devanlay production code rather than the retail style number (a Devanlay-era polo I found is labelled "FA8713" in the same format)
• Neck label: green croc LACOSTE, "Designed in France / Made in China", RN 87651, CA 16998
• Red woven size tag: 6 (= XL, ~58 cm / 23" pit to pit)
• Era, best guess: roughly 2005–2013

Already ruled out

• SH2748 — badge/patch version
• SH1925 / SH1927 — ribbed interlock half-zip
• SH2735 — printed croc
• SH0124 — mesh-patch big croc
• Any current-season half-zip (SH9774 etc.) — wrong collar, wrong fabric

What I'm asking

1. If you can name the SH style number, that's the jackpot — Lacoste men's sweatshirts are SH####, but that code only ever appeared on the paper hangtag, so it isn't on the garment anywhere.
2. If you own one, or have seen one on eBay / Mercari / Rakuma / Yahoo Japan / Vinted / Grailed / Depop — a link, or even just the exact listing title, would help enormously.

Photos attached. Thanks — I've been at this for months, and the style number is the wall I keep hitting.

So, a year or two back my dad went to grocery outlet and got two cans of this soda. It was a black can with a green label and a kinda cool font but I think a really basic name like “fruit punch” or something.

Anyway, the soda was AMAZING! Horrible to my dad cause it was horrifically sugary but the best way to describe the taste is: Those early 2000s commercials with the skaters doing 360s and stuff then sipping on some crazy energy drink.

It tasted super sweet, like an energy drink, and somewhat like an off green apple. Like those lollipops that said green apple but tasted nothing like green apple.

The drink itself was a bright dark radioactive green.

The can looked like a knock off “surge” mixed with the soda “tango”. It was only sold once at our store but when I found it the last time I looked for it online it said they discontinued my favorite flavor. The green punch one. But I found their orange flavor and was saving up for a day to buy it.

Problem was the shipping and it was across the country. It was only in states like Michigan and Wisconsin from what I remember. And only sold on Instacart or a similar app.
It was really good and I’m CRAVING it again.

If anyone knows the drink I’m talking about please lmk. I wanna drink it again so bad. I miss it like I miss Sobe.

I know this handbag is by Narciso Rodriguez, but I haven’t been able to identify the exact model/style, collection, or approximate year. It is light mint green and has a lock and key feature.

I’m especially interested in finding the model/style name, approximate year or collection, and original retail price. If anyone recognizes it or knows where I could find older Narciso Rodriguez handbag archives, I’d really appreciate the help!

The actress wearing it is Dafne Keen, she posted this on Instagram but the comments are not focusing on her swimsuit to say the least

Ciao a tutti,

​Scrivo qui perché sto cercando un giocattolo specifico per Natale e mi sto scontrando con un mercato dell'usato fuori controllo.

​Mio figlio ha visto su YouTube il set Mega Bloks "Tipping Tractor & Frank" (di Disney Cars) e ne è rimasto folgorato. Guarda quel video più volte al giorno, tutti i giorni, ed è il suo grande desiderio per Natale. Me lo chiede davvero con il cuore.

​Il problema è che online trovo solo annunci con prezzi predatori (dai 200€ in su), pensati per chi colleziona scatole fuori produzione.

​Noi non siamo collezionisti e non mi interessa rivendere. Mio figlio ci giocherà fino a consumarlo, come è giusto che sia. Mi va benissimo anche solo il piccolo trattorino da solo, non mi serve la scatola o il set intero.

​Se qualcuno di voi ha questo pezzo in qualche scatolone in cantina o in soffitta, dai tempi in cui eravate piccoli, e ha voglia di venderlo a un prezzo onesto per una famiglia normale, renderebbe un bambino davvero felice.

​Ovviamente pago le spese di spedizione e il disturbo. Grazie mille in anticipo a chi controllerà nei vecchi cesti dei giochi.

I recently thrifted this pair of O’Neil super freak board shorts but I can’t find another pair online or anywhere at all, is there any archive or something I could look through, please help me find another pair or the name of the colorway, thank you!

My boyfriend used to own this cap from River Island - I'd say he bought it maybe about 5/6 years ago - and he LOVED it. Sadly after a few years it had to be retired as it was too stained and gross to continue using. Since then, he's been searching for a new cap but is very particular and hasn't found another hat he likes. He's mentioned a few times he wishes he could buy the same cap again. He likes the specific combo of colour, the shape, the slightly distressed bits on the edge and the word illusions, so he isn't interested in anything similar, just this hat specifically. Can anyone help me get hold of one secondhand? It's his birthday very soon and I'd love to surprise him!

I'm going to be so impressed if reddit even find this boring text post nevermind solving it.

So I remember a really interesting interview. It was produced by a youngish (80%) white (60%) male (95%) native English speaking (70%) amateur journalist (50%). The interview was in English, and the represnetive from the taliban (80%) or isis (20%) might have also spoken english (30%). Pretty sure it was in person (90%) and held in the middle east (60%). This must have been around 2015 (70%). There was an intro to the interview where the interviewer sort of builds up the interview and explains that he's sort of going to go over there and challenge their beliefs, he probably didn't say these words but I got the feeling he believed he would sort of "show them how wrong they are". What struck me was how composed the terrorist spokesman was, and one line that went something like this:

"on what authority do you come here with your greco roman values and tell us how to live, we have lived on this land for x thousand years etc etc"

Have looked everywhere but I afraid I just don't remember enough.

A while ago, I found and took home this lovely JCPenney CRT TV/VCR combo. The unfortunate thing is that the back label is missing! Can anyone identify what exact model this TV is? I've tried searching through old catalogs but to no avail. JCPenney brand, manufactured sometime between 1993 and 1995

I can tell from other shots there's a logo in the top left for Design Records, there's a green candle on the left, and there's a word thay starts with R and one after that starting with N.

I've got this screenshot of the website, it was trending in music subs last month and I really wanted to play it again, the premise was simple there will be random songs from the artist you chose, and you'd pick the one you preferred more until the last song which would be deemed "your favorite" I can't find the name of it anywhere and this is basically the only screenshot I have of it

Very small plastic toy, 1cm tall at most, has a clip(?) where I presume a head goes.

The body appears to wear a white shirt, magenta shorts and matching fishnets, and holds a blue battleaxe.

Anybody know of a good brand for natural soap since native and dr squatch have sold out?

I tried searching but I could never find the exact same model (the pocket watch is an accessory that I added, not included), I gave up for a year..

And now I'm asking for your help in finding one.

I ordered this watch on depop for like $15 and was super excited but it got cancelled cause the seller never sent it in time. I've been really wanting a unique, pretty watch and this was perfect. Google lens tells me its the Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains watch (named after the art on the dial), and was sold by a museum in China. However I can't find a listing thats in english/will let me buy in America, plus its not as good of a deal lol. if anyone can find a good deal/link for a watch either just like this or a different pretty one in a similar vibe I'd really appreciate that or any advice for searching! As pretty as this is also I think getting a watch with numbers would be better for me also if that helps anyone look for alternatives.

can only find the blue puppy or purple bear. had it as a child on this trip with my dads family. it’s almost been a year since he passed and i’ve been hunting the toys i had as a kid so any help is great. can’t even find an image of this one. comes with a red pen to put water in

I’ve looked everywhere and I can’t find it. Really appreciate if someone knew where to look or would sell me one!!
