That horse is hysterical!

Also a fake story. Snopes says it’s from a stock photo titled “horse sleeping”. But the meme (that somebody made up) went viral. You rarely approach a sleeping horse with a saddle in the pasture, you approach with a halter and take them somewhere (the barn, your car, the back of your trailer) to brush them and tack them up, because all that stuff is too much to carry. They don’t generally lay down and refuse to get up unless there is something wrong with them. Oh, and also, horses don’t make noise every time they appear on camera in the movies, either.
. This brings me to my ultimate slightly related pet peeve on facebook - I belong to a local garden group and people keep sharing photos that are obviously fake AI images - like a bright purple apple that supposedly grows in New Zealand and tastes like cinnamon , or a rare wild colored butterfly bush (where the flower looks exactly like a wildly colored butterfly). And all those perfectly gorgeous mountain cabin kitchens - where if you look closely, the stove has a ridiculous number of knobs, the cabinets are missing handles, the tea pots and plates are not really the right shapes and the tile work is just bizarre, the rug designs don’t make sense, and every view out each window is perfect. AI is fooling a lot of people. If it looks too perfect to be true, or if you’ve never seen ANYTHING like it (man-made or in nature) before, it likely isn’t true. -
Lol. I’m so suspicious of everything lately. There are facebook pages named with the same name as someone I follow (like National Geographic, and Heather Cox Richardson) but anyone can post to them and they post stupid/bad/fake/untrue stuff. It’s gotten so I go to the actual page where the thing was posted and check to make sure it’s a real thing.
