#TinEye Reverse Search

[cantheykillmacbeth]

Any of the plants from Plants Vs. Zombies could kill MacBeth, since they are grown from seeds rather than being born. Additionally, certain plants (such as Cactus and Sunflower) are referred to with she/her pronouns in the Almanac, so they apply for the Gender Clause. And finally, the plants are planted by the player, so if the player is not female, then all of the plants qualify for the Birth Parent Clause (certain plants are planted by Crazy Dave, but he is a male, so they apply for the BPC regardless)

Also, I know it's not part of the curse, but Torchwood and Oak from PvZ: GW2 and PvZ: BfN, respectively, could be used to make Birnam Wood come to Dunsinane

Yes, Any Plant from Plants vs. Zombies could kill Macbeth!

As explained above, the plants in PvZ are grown from seed packets and not born, so they all apply for Unconventional Birth Clause. While some rare individual plants are specified to have been planted by Crazy Dave, for the most part, whether or not a plant applies for Birth Parent Clause relies entirely on the gender of the player, as you are the person planting them in-universe.

For Gender Clause, this is again mentioned above, but almost every plant has specified pronouns, usually in the in-game Almanac, though those that don't are often specified outside of the game by Stephen Notley, who writes the official Almanac entries. Most plants seem to be referred to with he/him pronouns and therefore wouldn't count for Gender Clause, but there are many such as Sunflower and Cactus that are she/her, as well as Dazey Chain who canonically uses they/them.

Thank you for your submission! -Mod Anthem

TinEye: Reverse Image Search

Q: Coi, you went on a rant about asking artists for permission to use their art. But what if I stumble on art that's uncredited and I don't know who the original artist is?

A: Great question, person I've constructed for a hypothetical. I'd love to introduce you to this wonderful site called TinEye.

You can upload any photo and TinEye will scour the internet to find it. Then, it will give a list of URLs where said image is posted.

Is it perfect? No. Sometimes you'll get an error message like this (I used one of my cosplay photos on tumblr as an example):

But it's still worth getting into the habit of doing if you're the type of person that wants to use art to promote whatever you want to promote.

I still stand by my post saying you can commission an artist for what you need. Yes, I acknowledge that might not be an affordable option for everyone. But you really do a disservice to artists everywhere when you steal art and reshare it without permission and credit.

Reverse image search.

Ask for permission.

Properly credit.

Every. Single. Time.

does anyone know when this mikey image was taken its important

[p-redux]

I was sent this pic of Sam Heughan in DM. Someone on Twitter posted it. Wondered if it maybe had been posted to the private MPC group. But NOPE. It's a Photoshop and fake. And here's proof.

So, this was Tweeted out. 👇

I did a reverse image search using TinEye. It's a site that searches pics all over the Internet to see if and where it's been posted before. And look at the results. 👇

14 results! And none of them are of Sam. They are all this other guy, and the pic has been used on scammer websites. Sam's head has been photoshopped onto the body. 👇

Side by side proving the pic is fake and Sam's head was photoshopped onto the other guy's body. 👇

Now, what I don't know is if the person Tweeting it out did the photoshopping OR she simply saw the pic somewhere and shared it. But someone should give her a heads up that it's fake.

possible scam warning?

so I was searching the name Adham Ayyad on here to see if any verification came up for @/lawyer-adhamayyad81 since I originally reblogged his campaign, and it did. For a completely different blog and gfm campaign. While it’s not impossible for two people to have the same name, upon reading thru both gfms a Lot of the text is copied almost verbatim. See below.

@lawyer-adhamayyad81’s gfm ⬇️

@stupendouswolfearthquake’s gfm (vetted by 90-ghost) ⬇️

You’ll notice they both use that picture of the destroyed home too but one is a screenshot of the image with the red circle drawn in, which is probably why reverse search didn’t pick it up..

On top of that, stupendouswolf’s campaign was started back in dec 2023 (and mentions in an update from May that they moved to deir al balah), while lawyer-adham’s only started the beginning of sept 2024

The only reason I’m not certain that this is a scam is bc the palestinian bar association ID posted to lawyer-adham’s blog really does say Adham Ayyad

I just find it incredibly strange that the stories are so identical, save for some (not all) changed numbers… plus the inclusion of that picture of the destroyed home really makes me think it’s untrustworthy, but the ID has thrown me off..

Make of it what you will, I just want to put this information out there.

Bro I hate people who repost art they find with 'I don't know the source please let me know if you know!!!!' and meanwhile it takes literally 5 seconds to go to images dot google dot com, click and drag the image into the search bar, and immediately find the artist's name if not their socials as well. It's honestly more annoying to me than reposting without even attempting to acknowledge a source

To the good people and the people of compassionate hearts,

I am Abdul Rahim, a father of two children living in the Gaza Strip with my large family of 10 members. We are suffering from very difficult circumstances, where we do not even find the basics of life. Our suffering increased after my young son Adam was seriously injured, and he is now in dire need of treatment and medical care that we cannot afford.

We do not find enough food, clothes, or even blankets to protect us from the harsh winter cold. We have knocked on every door and found no one to help us. Now, all our hope is in God and then in you. I appeal to you with all the hope that the word carries to extend a helping hand to us with any amount you can.

Our campaign link to donate:

By God, I have nothing but prayers for everyone who helps us or contributes to spreading this message.

Abdul Rahim and his family.

finally got tineye added to firefox and it's like I've freed myself from another tie to my shitty ex. Google reverse image search can suck m

Why Firefox?

Firefox isn't trying to take away my ad blocking software, forcing me to wade through advertisements to traverse the web. I rarely have to stop and put up with ads in my day to day browsing experience. Google has made it very clear that they don't want you to have that power.

I'm very used to a specific UI in my browser, and I'm able to tweak Firefox to my needs. I don't use tabs when I'm at home, and being able to eliminate the tab bar can totally be done with Firefox (I won't elaborate on that here). However, there are many other things I can add to Firefox to improve my experience!

You know how sometimes you want to download an image on a webpage, but you can't right click on it, or it's hidden behind another element? I've got a Firefox tool for that called Right-click boroscope.

Don't want scripts to load in on a page, and cause havoc? Firefox has me covered again with NoScript.

I want to immediately reverse image search something I find regurgitated here on tumblr, in search of the original? There's a TinEye extension for Firefox to do that and save time.

For using tumblr more efficiently, there's XKit Rewritten. In Firefox.

Sick of Youtube's shitty search suggestions, and shorts being pushed? There's a Youtube Search Fixer add-on for Firefox for that.

I've also got the Wayback Machine integrated into Firefox.

The thing is, whatever reasons I enumerate to use Firefox, there are another hundred good reasons that other folks can add to this list no problem.

In some ways, it sucks that I should have to make so many modifications to my web browser to make it suitable for taking control within the modern webscape, but it also says alot that I have the freedom to make those modifications to my browser should I so choose. At work I'm forced to use chrome, and even though I'm only browsing ad-free internal corporate pages to get my job done, I still can't stand that experience.

We should be free to control our web browsing experiences. If a company finds a mantra like "don't be evil" too restrictive, maybe I don't want to help perpetuate their advertising machine (and don't think for a second that chrome isn't part of said machine). The web is supposed to be this free and open place, and it sure as hell isn't helped by browser monoculture. I really don't like the idea of supporting a monopolistic browsing experience that is the sea of chrome clones. Everything else seems to have turned into another chrome.

Fuck that noise.

So I will continue to use Firefox.

Highly esoteric wojak image with TL;DR interpretation by WojakGallery:

Title/Name: The Crowning of Chudjak Wojak Series:  Chudjak / Poljak (Variants), Soyjak (Variants). Image by: Unknown Main Tag: Chudjak Wojak

Information and interpretation on the image (TL;DR):

Unfortunately, I could not actually find out much about this one, so some "light assumptions" will be made based on what we get from the image + my research and knowledge. I did a reverse image search using Google and TinEye, but according to the research I did, this one hasn't been posted anywhere that can be easily found with its original title/name and description, so I gave it the name "The Crowning of Chudjak" because it makes it clearer. You can call it whatever you like, though.

The following I will say here are just a few observations I've made on the image. Obviously, Chudjak is being crowned King.

But maybe something not so obvious is that he's being "crowned" with a crown from Burger King (fast-food restaurant franchise). I didn't find any information on why Chudjak is being crowned to wear a Burger King crown, so that's somewhat esoteric; maybe it's just for a comical effect, or to imply in some way that he "rules". In the image, it's two chudjaks crowning another chudjak, so he's basically crowning himself.

Another thing in the image is that there are Soyjaks present, some have wings like angels, which is something common in 14th-century classical Renaissance art, that is the general theme of the image, with all the clouds and people or gods in "heaven" or the sky. And Soyjaks are often considered by many users as "the greatest" variants since the inception of Wojak. In the image, you can see that there are soyjaks that appear to be somewhat distressed, and this is probably because some of them were placed below the chudjaks in the image. This may be to imply that chudjaks are superior to soyjaks, or that, in comparison to soyjaks, chudjaks are on a higher level of "Wojak Greatness." There are dark clouds in the image that may imply that a storm is coming. It's trivial, but both soyjaks and chudjaks are often depicted as the most popular wojak characters that wear glasses.

Also in the image, there is a wild naked soyjak trying to "lift" the chudjaks, this could possibly be a reference to 'Atlas', a Greek mythology Titan condemned to hold up the heavens or sky for eternity after the Titanomachy. In art, Atlas is often depicted naked.

And not easily noted and can be easily missed in the chudjak at the left part of the image that is wearing a red robe or mantle, it's possible to see the partially covered words "Mein Ka", which seems to be a reference to the book 'Mein Kampf' which is german for "My Struggle" which is a autobiographical manifesto by Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler. The book outlines many of Hitler's political beliefs, his political ideology, and future plans for Germany and the world. The original nazi flag has a background of the color red, so it makes sense that the robe or mantle is red covering what looks like the book standing.

And last but not least, there is an anthropomorphic-looking soyjak dog on the right part of the image; it seems the dog is being caressed by the chudjak above him, or he's being held against the chudjak's leg (maybe in a forced manner); the dog's face seems somewhat confused, but this is unclear. The soyjak dog is wearing a collar or necklace with a pink tag or object. I didn't find any info on this type of collar or necklace. Anyway, the color pink may represent a number of things, including compassion, purity, and hope. It's usually known that a pink dog collar generally symbolizes sweetness, gentleness, and femininity. But maybe it's just a random collar or necklace with the color pink and no esoteric meaning involved.

The end.

Update: Tumblr user aeshna-cyanea pointed out that the original painting this wojak image is based on is titled "Coronation of the Virgin" by Diego Velázquez. Diego Velázquez, though a Baroque artist of the Spanish Golden Age, did draw inspiration from Renaissance art and incorporated elements of it into his work.

[my-hobby-is-finding-the-source]

To help spread the honorable arts of source-seeking far and wide, I have compiled a list of websites I often rely on. It is by no means comprehensive but it should be helpful for those who want to try looking for sources on their own.

Google Lens:

More specifically, the "Search by Image" option that replaced the reverse image search functionality of Google Images in 2022. Although it focuses on image segmentation and recognition, it has the most encompassing image set by far. It will rarely point you towards the source directly, but you can use it to find different or more complete samples, which is a good way to start.

Yandex Images:

Its "Visual Search" functionality resembles the older Google reverse image search, which can be better in some situations. It lists pages that contain fairly similar matches and a board of looser samples.

TinEye:

Although smaller and less-capable than other options, it stores the date and address it found each result, which really helps narrowing down potential sources. It works best with unedited or nearly complete samples.

Above are general-purpose tools that are suited for images of any subject matter. Following are sites with narrower scopes, mainly focused on artworks or anime-adjacent media.

SauceNAO:

If you have an unedited image, this is the tool for the job. Though weak against crops and edits, it indexes heaps of works from artist-focused communities, social media platforms, and image boards.

trace.moe:

In the "rare" occasion that I stumble upon a screenshot of an anime I don't recognize, this tool is a lifesaver. It is "comparatively" much smaller than the others, but it can give you the exact moment you're looking for, down to the minute.

For now, these are the stars in my toolkit! There are other notable tools out there, but these are the ones I have the most success with.

[loumandliker]

i wanted so bad to do like a curated moodboard of my marimand pinterest board but unfortunately i cannot, even with tineye reverse search, find the sources for probably 65% of these images and my success rate for the ones i actually want to post specifically is like 33%
