Austria-Hungary had a complex internal structure. The head of state was Emperor of Austria and King of Hungary at the same time, or "Kaiser und König" in German. This was often abbreviated as "K. u. K." when talking about institutions that applied to both Austria and Hungary.
So, technically, it would not be wholly inaccurate to describe the Austro-Hungarian throne as "the K. u. K. chair"

In the interests of fairness, we'll start with what the diagram got right. Sometimes there is endometrium inside a menstrual cup, because endometrial cells form a part of menstrual fluid. That's it, that's the post on what the image got right.
Cleo of Topless Topics reshared this.
However, menstrual fluid does not typically look like strawberry milkshake and if it does, then you'll probably want to see a doctor about that. But that's the least of our worries. More importantly, menstrual cups absolutely do not go inside the body, particularly not somehow through some sort of small opening in what appears to be the bladder.
Cleo of Topless Topics reshared this.
And here's some more fun facts about the (presumable) vagina which differ somewhat from what this diagram tells you:
-The pubic symphysis is not inside the vagina
-Neither is the bladder
-And neither is the sacrum
All of these bits are nearby the vagina and might appear on a diagram with it, but are definitely not inside it.

And believe us, you are not going to get a decent diagram of the gynaecological anatomy using generative AI. We tried. We used "good prompts".

When we posted this a couple of weeks ago, we had some AI enthusiasts insist that this diagram was the result of poor prompting, or that the prompt that the original poster made was to generate a funny, bad diagram. So we decided to test ChatGPT's capability... masto.ai/@vagina_museum/115100…

this MRI is so cool! It inspired some googling, and some learning.
I have been a menstrual cup user for over a decade and this is the first time I have seen an image like this. Very cool!
Now, I will preface this by saying I am not the owner of a body with a vagina, so may be speaking from a place of ignorance, but is the spine typically at a jaunty angle at the front of the body?

@funbaker Exactly. Cameras are really everywhere these days... 🙄😅
OMG I'm glad this is fake, I was trying to imagine how you'd get it in there.
Not only does that look entirely and impossibly wrong, also very, very painful!
@vagina_museum@masto.ai @pzmyers dear god

Ohh god ok, i didn't read the AI part, and thought my understanding of anatomy greatly lacking because i struggled to interpret what on earth is going on in the pic...

Das Bild ist aber lustig - da sind die üblichen 6 Finger ja noch Kinderkram gegen.
At first when my friend posted this image to me I hadn't read the context around it yet and I just went "um, no, that's not how menstrual cups work." luckily my friend already knew that because unlike some, he actually has a clue how female anatomy works, and lord knows I've talked about having to empty my cup on stream often enough XD But considering how many men think the blood and the pee come from the same hole, I don't have a lot of confidence in most men knowing you don't SURGICALLY INSERT a menstrual cup...how the hell would you empty and clean it, for one?!

This looks like a surgical emergency to me... also, that is definitely not a human abdomen XD
the liquid inside the container looks like strawberry milkshake lol
I now agree with US insurance companies on "eyes are not a necessary organ and thus vision is a separate level of coverage" - I didn't need to see this shit
pls content warning 😳
what in the hell are those bones
what in the never in a million years
I know my partner struggled to remove one the first time, but this is ridiculous.
that is so cursed 😬
this may be the single most incorrect and cursed "anatomical" "diagram" I have ever seen. What the actual fuck, basically everything is wrong, holy hell
the strawberry milkshake in the cup is not right and the fact that the cup is stabbing through the tissue seems horribly painful. 😭 Cramps are already painful enough.
Um... Why the hell are recommendations suggesting this kind of content to me?
Nothing can go wrong when AI takes over medicine
@wiert not onlyndows it make us stupid - it even attempts to make us infertile.
That umm...looks like surgical malpractice happened. Or that cup was inserted entirely too violently.
My GOD! This image traumatized me. You may need warnings for Bad AI. Imagining sticking the cup through my bladder is horrible, not to mention the bad labeling.
Thanks for the warning. I will never ask A.I. to show me the reproductive system now.

“Anyway… I don’t care about this gender, pronoun, stuff. It’s not my business. All that matters is that she’s very helpful.”
[dad pauses thoughtfully]
“She’s a good colleague… Don’t understand all this fuss about people’s gender these days. She works hard and is always friendly. This media malarkey… About what’s in their pants. Now, that don’t make sense to me.”

Can we please all stop the "newcomers to Mastodon should visit this and that site, follow these rules" etc? Social networks evolve. Trying to control the behaviour of newcomers is condescending and counterproductive in my opinion. I don't want the Fediverse to become a walled garden. #UnpopularOpinion, maybe. So be it.
This entry was edited (Saturday 13 June 2026, 06:32)
Nudging people once in a friendly and respectful way to get a profile picture and put some words in their bio is fine, but do check the replies to see if someone else already did that before you add your "well, actually" ;).
Also, remember why people don’t. Some people just want to read. Their accounts are there because you need an account to be able to follow multiple people or hashtags in the fediverse. If they want to be passive observers that’s okay. They aren’t being nefarious by not posting personal information that will cause people to send them unsolicited messages, they’re just shy.
And when people block follow requests for these people, don’t be surprised if they go and tell all of their offline friends that there’s nothing worth reading here.

I fully agree with your points. Especially the second one.
The first point might cause confusion for some of the people you mentioned, as they might ask themselves: ‘Well, why are your suggestions acceptable, but mine aren’t?’
That’s the difference between addressing a newcomer and someone who knows how things work.
@sternengucker yes indeed, sooner this place becomes fully twitter the better.
@Tattooed_Mummy @sternengucker
Ich lache mehr, als ich sollte
@Tattooed_Mummy @sternengucker Twitter’s Ragebait algorithm is the problem. Fediverse is free and everyone should be invited. We just see too many inofficial web police officers in public posts that flame new people who just want to talk.
Just be polite and have some sort of filter, if not these people are wrong on any „Social“ platform
I answered a post a while back and since it was against the opinion of the poster and also I am new in mastodon, they said I am troll and went through all my posts and put pictures of my other answers. This is not a welcoming behavior.
@bsh The troll accuses someone else (you ;) of being a troll. Le sigh. Well, that's what the block function is for 😀
Somewhere there's a line between exert control, and just "give a gentle introduction to the existing cultural norms, without demanding compliance".
yeah, this. We are trying to foster a better social culture here,and because of how other networks operate,we have to be vocal about reminding newcomers that certain behavior is actually not OK and certain things are expected when someone takes responsibility for their own social media.
Things work differently here, people shouldn't have to guess or figure it out on their own when we've already learned the hard lessons and wrote th down.
I don't think it's an unpopular opinion. Instance rules should still be followed though but everyone should pretty much just enjoy their time here. Those people who tell others to follow this, that and other crap are just annoying. They remind me of my parents and they fucking suck.
How did you manage to hijack Jan's account?
part of the beauty of mastodon is an instance can make as many rules as it wants. But if people don't like them they can move instance.
@aj We apparently have a choice: an eternal-September big-bang where the unassimilated normies become the majority and the culture becomes thoughtless Facebook boomer culture, or keeping the HOA strong and absolutely insisting that everyone who joins watches the viewing list of Star Trek episodes before posting and puts a CW on photos of pet eye contact in case anyone finds that traumatising.

if any of these laws were passed when i was a teen, i would be long, long dead, probably because i would have ended my life by suicide.

it's always us. it's always on us. it's never the companies or the techbros or the oligarchs. it's always our fault, because everyone thinks we are "stupid" and that our parents "always know best" and that we don't need no safety or community

right that's one of the maddening things about these laws, they basically murder kids and simultaneously hide the evidence

Age verification is being used around the West to implement fascistic censorship, and its proponents nakedly just want to kill free speech on the Internet. That's the only reason they're doing any of this.
Free expression is the light and air of any movement to make things less bad.
Sensitive content
the shitmongers rely on silencing their opponents in order to win. Otherwise they know their time is limited.
If free speech was undisturbed, then trump and his fascist goons know it is only a matter of time before they're all killed like Mussolini.

I wouldn't be here if they'd managed to censor the internet when they first tried. (yes children, there have been previous reactionary censorship attempts.)
Same reason, different path to getting there. Disability and an overprotective mother.
I didn't know that there were other people like me in the world /at all/ until I was an adult in the eyes of the law. And I don't want anyone else to experience that hell.

Honestly, they want us isolated and miserable. They continue to believe that if you just beat down queers kids more they’ll stop being queer. Trans and queer adults are always seen as a sub-optimal outcome of adolescence.

Absolutely. But I'm alive and I'm going to visit people on Christmas who I met 2002 on the internet and who are also still alive 🥰
Internet helped me to figure out my gender identity in an environment that had strict gender expectations for me. It helped me to get free from cult-ish religion and become more open minded and shed biases that had been stuffed into mh adolesent brain against my will.
Internet can be a great asset an escape.
They should instead be banning LLM:s stealing everyone's data, and making people addicted to it on purpose. "AI" reliance is way worse than TikTok to growing brains.

Harley Quinn + Muppets sounds like a delightful movie
might even have a therian headmate (it sometimes wants to be a red panda)
i legit feel like this, my entire friends group is just therians and furries and trans people and i'm just A Guy (tm)
it's even wilder when your only known headmate is a therian lmfao

Just a note to everyone - Pride Month is no excuse to use generative AI to make "happy PRIDE" posts, merch, or any image or text related to it.
Generative AI is funded by facists who hate LGBTQAI+ and who fund laws against us. It is the tool of the enemy we all should resist together - not generate useless slop that muddies the message with AI vomit.
Using it shows no care, no love, and no solidarity.

hey folks. In response to my request to cancel my donation, MW sent me this update from the CEO. What’s your response to their claims?
@boffbowsh less talk and more action. They better start firing the union busting law firm they have im their payroll and hire the union organizers back.
I do not trust a single word of their bullshit coorporate union busting law firm written statements.
I support you, not the corrupt foundation that kept telling me I need to donate, but then got rich off AI training and immeditately started firing union organisers .. ✊

The top pictures associated with light skin tones are the Pont du Gard in France, the Colosseum in Italy, and the Parthenon in Greece. They're labelled "engineering marvels". The bottom pictures associated with dark skin tones are the Temple of the Sun at Machu Picchu, the Easter statues in Rapa Nui, and the Great Sphinx and the pyramid of Giza. They're labelled "aliens".

Our Friendica (TROM Social) failed to update to the latest stable. Likely this bug github.com/YunoHost-Apps/frien…
Seems easy to solve, but since our database is massive, around 80GB, it took around 20 hours to restore....
I understand that it totally sucks for a Social Network to be down for almost a day. People may be put off and not want to use Friendica anymore. Or our instance at least. But our instance has been very reliable for the past years and I always email people to tell them about updating it, so they are aware such things can happen.
Also, our budget for TROM.tf is around €0, compared to the billions floating around Facebook and the like. So please understand that.
Today we will give the update another try, and it is likely to work. If it doesn't at least thanks to @YunoHost a backup will be automatically restored.

No worries, some of us enjoy Friendica and TROM.tf for reasons that a day's worth of downtime couldn't sway. And I'd like to think there's more folk around here than just me who very much appreciate the hard work you and your team put in on our behalf. Plus, there's only one thing that could ever drag me away from this instance, and we all know I just can't be trusted to do the upkeep on one of my own.
