Subject: How good are you at calling out fake, shopped, or ai photos?

I call fake on this one. Side note, Adam Sandler brings to our attention in his Hanukkah song - They're both Jews 😁

Those sweaters, while definitely ugly, appear secular.

I think it's real.

heads? or sweaters?  added to an image

the background looks like it might be from an episode set

And Spock has his ears on.

Kirk's right wrist has that ai look.

Supposedly this is the original:

Great! i couldn't find it. ( i knew Spock wasn;t a casual hands in the pocket kind of guy)

Now find the sweaters

Don't think I care enough.  That one took no more than 2 minutes.

i spent a few minutes more than that

Another 2 minutes ... i found Spock's sweater ... flipped horizontally

The fake is at least 8 years old:

Yeah, that's where I found the original pic, too.

Years ago I fell for and posted pictures of some giant topiary cats. Turned out to be fake. I believe it was the first and last fake pics I fell for. 

This one almost had me going. That racoon does look real.

Real or fake?⬇️

Yeah - or ney?  (I know the answer.)

I'd say yeah. The diving tower is just out of shot.

... to it being a real photo.

Correcto.

Danish high diver Annika Bornebusch trains in Doha, Qatar, before competing at the World Aquatics Championships on Wednesday, February 14. 

Okay now I know the Lincoln one is real. The photo was taken by Keith Richards.

The diving one I knew was real because I have a similar picture of myself diving at a hotel pool overlooking the ocean. I was @ 16. 

I already knew the Lincoln one was real because of that even earlier photo of Benjamin Franklin on the dobro.  It's in a museum somewhere.

Apparently, us Canadians are really terrible at distinguishing the fakes.  One of our brethren got scammed earlier this year by an ad showing our Prime Minister hawking cryptocurrency, even though “he” was speaking with an Australian accent.  Maybe worse, the fellow felt comfortable being publicly identified.  Oh dear.

First, I try to determine myself if it's real or not, using only the naked eye and brain. Then I might check the comment section and/or do the google lens. Then, I might post here. Still p's me off I fell for the topiary cats and didn't fact check before posting.
