Somewhere on Skull Island sits a miserable shaved giant ape :)

This really creepy Czech Alice in Wonderland movie. It used stop motion with animal skeletons, fish heads, and tons of other things.

My mom put it on when I was little in an attempt to keep me occupied.
“Would you like to watch Alice in Wonderland, Thelsim?” She’d ask.
“Yea!” I would shout enthusiastically, thinking she meant the Disney movie.
Half an hour later I’m crying and hiding under the blankets.

I never did watch that movie again. Maybe it’s not so bad now, but the screenshots still make feel very queasy.

Time’s up!

Congratulations to @[email protected] for an awesome entry and a very well deserved first place! I really love it, it’s just perfect.

And a special mention to @[email protected] for the original misuse of tropes :)

Actually, all of you did great, thanks so much for participating!

Yes, that was kind of the entire joke :)

A slipknot works great! It’s done in a second and easily undone as well.

You posted this image three times in a row with different titles.
I removed the other two and will leave this one in.

Please don’t do this again, it’s considered spam.

In Dutch it’s called a trouwring, which as a verb literally translates to wedding ring, but as a noun also to loyalty ring.
Which I find rather sweet.

That could be an alternative, but it would make the whole process a lot more involved.

Maybe a new post could be made after the seven days are over with all the entries added as replies for people to vote on? Then after 24 hours a winner can be declared. It would at least give everyone an equal chance as far as exposure to the Lemmy algorithm goes and everyone can submit their entry at their own speed.

1. Open submission post
2. Let participants add their entries to the post as replies
3. Close submission post after 7 days
4. Create voting post with all entries as replies.
5. Wait 24 hours
6. Tally upvotes and other points to declare winner.

That would basically be an instant disqualifier, I don’t want to kick people out of the challenge altogether.

But I realize this -1 doesn’t work that well either when a lot of people post anyway. Maybe the whole upvote system just doesn’t work that well.

:D
I was wondering where those came from, well it adds to the image so I’m not complaining :)

I can see why you’re no fan of the 24h thing. My reasoning was that the first 24 hours always gets most of the views, and a lot of people vote on whatever image is already posted and don’t check back again afterwards.
The idea was to level the playing field a little for those who need a bit more time to post, whether it’s because they’re not free or because they might be living in a different time zone.

Anyway, like I wrote in my previous challenge, it’s an experiment. If you and others think it works better without the 24h rule, then of course we can always change things back to how they were.

That’s strange, I’ve added you in. The script I use should have shown you properly but for some reason you got filtered out.

I think it’s the regular expression that searches for an image, maybe it’s something in the alt-text you used that didn’t flag it properly? I’ll keep an eye out for it with next week’s score.

Sorry for the mistake!

Ok, I’ll make one instead then.

Enjoy your vacation! :)

I hosted the last one as well. I’m happy to pass the next challenge on to @[email protected] considering they ended up 2nd and the other two already hosted a challenge more recently.

That’s really weird…

I still see it pinned on fedia.io as well. Must be a federation issue?

Let me know if you see this happen again with the next challenge and I’ll hit that sticky button a couple of times. Other than that, there’s not much else I can do.

About 14 hours I think? I once went on a long distance 12 hour flight and couldn’t sleep at all. It was a discount ticket (my dad used to be a pilot) and I had to sit on one of those fold out benches for the entire flight. VERY uncomfortable.

Anyway, I arrived at around 7 am local time and because my stay was limited I decided to just stay awake and sleep at a normal time. To get used to the new time zone and get the most out of my trip.
The moment when I finally hit my bed I completely shut down. I slept at around 10 and didn’t wake up until noon.

Hmm… I guess we can give that a try. Personally I’ve never had any problems with multiple stickies, but I can imagine that different people on different instances with different apps might get different results.

I’ll move it to the side bar. We still reference it in every challenge post as well, so it should remain easy to find.

Oh thanks for letting me know!

I re-stickied the post, does it show properly now?

I don’t know about over there, but here they’ve started selling them with paper straws. Making it even more impossible to puncture that stupid little hole while ruining the straw in the process.

And of course it’s the only thing my daughter wants to drink. I’ve had to resort to using a nail file to open those things.
