LET'S MEET UNDER THE OLD HOMER

Everyday, when I go home, I remember The Simpsons melody and I don't know why because it's been years since I last watched that TV show!

It seems a bit Alien, doesn't it?

A WORLD WHERE WOMEN ARE MUCH BIGGER THAN MEN

In nature, size matters—a lot. In many species, females are significantly larger than males. This happens with black widow spiders, where females can be twice or even three times the size of their mates. The same occurs with certain amphibians, fish, and birds of prey, where females dominate in both size and strength.

But what if the same had happened in our species? What would the world look like if women were much bigger than men? How would interactions, social dynamics, or even the most basic aspects of everyday life change?

Thanks to AI, someone has created a glimpse into this alternate universe. Here are some videos that will make you imagine a world where size roles are completely reversed.

WHAT WON’T A GRANDMA DO FOR HER GRANDDAUGHTER

The cultural clash between generations is undeniable, but in the end, you either adapt or at least tolerate it. There are things a grandmother would have never imagined in her youth, yet here she is, decades later, appearing in a video where her granddaughter is doing dances that would have scandalized half the neighborhood back in the day.

She doesn’t get it, and it’s not like she finds it amusing, but she’s also not about to start preaching about what’s right or wrong. Times change, younger generations do whatever they want, and older folks—though with that classic "this didn’t happen in my day" look—just shrug it off. You don’t always have to understand, sometimes you just accept that the world isn’t what it used to be and move on. After all, at this point, what’s the point?

NARCISSISM AND SOCIALMEDIA VOL30

It's funny how when we see someone recording themselves in public, talking to their phone and exaggerating gestures, we feel a strong sense of secondhand embarrassment, yet that same video seems much more normal when we see it on social media. It might still make us cringe, but we process it differently. The key difference is that in real life, we don’t just feel discomfort—we perceive the person as ridiculous, out of place. On social media, even if they still seem absurd, the format smooths out that awkwardness and makes it easier to digest.

Editing, music, and dynamic cuts help frame the content in a way that fits the kind of media we consume daily, but if someone seems ridiculous, they’ll remain so, with or without filters.

Another factor is the break in reality. Watching someone film themselves strips away the illusion, like seeing a magician set up a trick before performing it. Then there’s the difference between witnessing something and being an audience—on the street, we feel like unwilling participants in something we didn’t choose to watch, whereas on social media, we’re already in consumer mode, so even if something makes us uncomfortable, it doesn’t trigger the same rejection.

Social dynamics also play a role. When we see someone recording in public, we share the secondhand embarrassment through glances or comments with whoever is next to us. But online, there's no external reinforcement, and we process it in a completely different way.

THE TAKEOFF OF DRONES IN A SHOW IN CHINA IS ALREADY A SPECTACLE IN ITSELF

In Europe, where we pride ourselves on being the most "progressive" on the planet, every year there's a debate about banning fireworks because poor little dogs suffer. As a solution, drone and light shows are often suggested, but can we really pull it off? Well, if we want to try, it's best to ask the Chinese for advice—after all, they’re living in 2125. This video is a great example of that.

I have no idea how many drones are taking off, but it could easily be thousands. And once they're all in the air, the result is breathtaking. It's mesmerizing to watch but also a little unsettling.

Now, give it all a military twist. Equip each of them with an explosive charge. Program them with AI-controlled microchips, each assigned to a human target. This could be the new "sound of future war," and these images serve as a warning about the dangers of China's drone expertise.

PACQUIAO VS. THE INVISIBLE MAN

A while back, we talked about artist Paul Pfeiffer and his project Caryatid, where he digitally removed one of the boxers from the fight. Now, we have a video of Pacquiao where his opponent has completely vanished, creating the same eerie effect.

The technique behind this type of editing is complex and meticulous. It relies on three key processes: the use of previous and subsequent frames, analyzing footage before and after the key moment to reconstruct the background that the boxer was blocking; interpolation and digital cloning, filling the empty areas with fragments of the original image while adjusting light and shadows to make the manipulation seamless; and frame-by-frame digital painting, where, in more complex cases, each frame is manually retouched to ensure a perfect match.

The result is a surreal scene where Pacquiao throws punches at an opponent who no longer exists, while the audience continues reacting as if the fight were still happening.
