First of all, thank you to everyone who made entries in yesterday’s competition to name “whatever this is”:

Our distinguished panel of jurors (aka you my fellow Kossacks), didn’t take long to name the winner. Without a doubt, @keepiru won the contest with this suggestion and 48 recs:
I laughed out loud! Well played!
Side note for Kos: In the new website, it’d be great if we could embed comments from Kossacks in other stories.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, let’s get back to mayhem and merriment!
I know we're supposed to be hating on AI, but to be honest, it can also create content from ordinary people that simply would not exist without a massive studio budget. To wit:
x I found another fun Veo 3 prompt: "Realistic footage of the moon landing, but it took place in [year]" Here is 1883 AD, 1255 AD, 44 AD, 2300 BC, 30,000 BC, and 65 million years ago Yes, there was apparently wind on the moon back then, you are just going to have suspend disbelief a bit. — Ethan Mollick (@emollick.bsky.social) 2025-07-25T06:01:47.411Z
MAGAs are not self-aware enough to get this I don’t think.
One for the ministry of silly walks. Sound up.
x Imagine aliens find this is the last evidence humanity ever existed and they genuinely think we walked this way. — Luca (@lucagalletti.bsky.social) 2025-07-26T18:32:34.430Z
I must say, asking your kid to gather wild horse manure while hiking is an interesting form of parenting. Then using it as a teaching moment…?? I think we’re dealing with a Tiger Mum!
x Seems like the news is getting to people this week. Brain break! Here is a corn experiment we did with the kid while we were in Placitas, NM last month. The left pot is fertilized w. MIL’s miracle grow; middle is plain potting soil; right has wild horse manure Kid gathered on hikes. 🌱 — Amy Hayes (@tangentsafari.bsky.social) 2025-07-27T00:34:41.409Z
Australia’s trash panda equivalent.
American philosopher contemplates first world problem.
x Starbucks tray: flimsy, moderately more useful than a paper straw. Dunkin tray: rugged, solid, can carry weight of 4 large iced and the weight of your failed dreams. — Mass Dude (@massdude.bsky.social) 2025-07-25T14:18:00.496Z
Respect!
x Love moments like this. Public Enemy meets Mavis Staples ❤️ — Rock The Bells (@rockthebells.bsky.social) 2025-07-27T00:52:55.867Z
EPIC burn!
Whoever built that has WAY too much time on their hands
Timeline cleanser: The call of the Eider Ducks
x I laughed at this video for like 2 minutes straight last night and now you get to — Woe, a Doe (@doefulwoeful.bsky.social) 2025-07-25T14:36:51.249Z
And that is all for today folks. I’ll be back tomorrow with more.
As always, I’m ending by wishing you a good morning, g'day, or good night, wherever you are on this round rock we all call home.
