[a screenshot of a Facebook post from the Washingtron County Sheriff’s Office, which reads, “INFORMATION NEEDED: For several nights now, women in dinosaur costumes have been harassing motorists in downtown Hagerstown.” The post includes several security camera photos of the women in question. Above the screenshot, an added caption from another user reads, “god forbid women have hobbies”.]

Damn it. Was going to ask if they needed a 6th ranger.
That is unfortunate 😔 it gets harder and harder to tell 😭
It is, although for this one the street markings and zebra crossing going nowhere is a giveaway. If you look closely you’ll also find their arms are a bit short compared to the legs. Finally, the dinosaur in color is a different model than all those in the b&w picture, which in itself isn’t an ai indication but in the context of the joke it kinda raises questions.
Still funny though, I’d love to have one of these costumes
Honestly, with the dumbshit cycling/pedestrian infrastructure in the US, the zebra crossing to nowhere is a thing that I have actually seen before.
Is this a dinosaur joke
LOL totally didn’t notice! The AI has a sense of humour and it wooshed past me
To me the most obvious tell is, these costumes would be a lot of work, seems like intricate body makeup, and coordinated between five people. And then they’re somewhat anonymous and the cops have to ask on Facebook about them, instead of aggressively trying to put out viral videos of themselves doing this? There is no way.
I thought it would be body painting too but then wondered, what if the arms and torso are made of a thin printed lycra or something, with the dress sewn on top as part of the costume. The head would be a separate piece made of latex or something sturdier. The fishnets would be just regular fishnets.
The only piece that doesn’t make any sense is the tail, they’re too thick and go under the dress which looks very awkward as part of the costume.
