This evening, my husband turned his Ipad so I could read the following. I about fell off the bed in laughter as it was beyond true. I called in both sons to read this because I felt, the more the merrier. I tried without success to find a link to share this since technically this is a gif. This is from Elite Daily, a news platform for millennials and though I’m Generation X, I found this so fuckin’ funny. Folks, I present to you the most magical funny of the week…..
Was I right?
Ugly Historical Women
This evening I found out about a new app by Google called Google Arts & Culture. You take a selfie then Google matches it with works of art and presents them to you. I absolutely love history, especially historical costume so I was giddy with excitement about this app. After downloading it I immediately clicked on it to reveal selfie mode.
“Jesus Christ!” I said as I turned the phone away as to no longer look at my double chin and no make-up face. While I pointed the lens to the ceiling, I found the regular camera and took a picture of my Facebook profile page. After just a few seconds, it generated the following comparisons.
I took another picture and compared…..
Now…out of all the double chins, and no make-up, I absolutely gasped in horror when this little lady below came up. I enlarged it so you can see what kind of ugly we are dealing with. I don’t have a receding hair line. And did this woman get any sleep the night before? She was rich, she could have been like, “Pierre, not today. Let’s table this portrait till tomorrow.” I mean, if they had licenses back then, this would have been her driver’s license photo.
This app is absolutely addictive. I began to take pictures of my husband, my sons, my sisters, literally everyone, comparing their pictures. Surprisingly, my husband’s pic was compared to George Washington. I’m married to a president everyone. My sons’ comparisons ranged from children to women. My sister’s perfect teeth and nose landed her comparisons with beautiful French women in Impressionistic paintings. I could probably play with this all night.
So, when you have a few minutes, download the app and try it out. Tell me what you think! Well, I’m going to bed now so I can look well rested for when Pierre wants to paint his next painting.
I am currently trying to convince my daughter to download this app for me on her phone.(I am now into my 6th month w/o a phone). This sounds like a ton of fun!
OK, big bummer. This is not available outside the USA. 🙁
Wait….what?!?! I was able to get it to work by taking snap shots from my laptop. Do you have a pic you want to use? Send it to [email protected] and I’ll email you back your results!!
Oh please convince her! It is some messed up $hit to find you are being compared with a woman that has 3 chins and a receeding (spelling??) hairline. I’m like, “oh come on!!!!”
This is too funny, I’m going to have to look this up 🙂
Do it and let me know who you are compared to!!
I will ☺️
This looks like a fun app! I hadn’t even heard of it, but I’m off to download it now!
OMG….please let me know who you are compared to. I kept doing it over and over again, thinking it would compare me to a beautiful woman. Instead, I was compared to a woman with 3 chins and a receeding hair line.
I was wondering what the picture thing was- I’ve seen it on Facebook/Twitter, and a little bit on Reddit, but no one actually explained where it was from and what it was for! I’m far too terrified to venture into that territory, I assume I’m a landscape picture of a military battle :/
It will make you feel like the ugliest person on Earth. Especially when you are compared with anyone from the 15th-16th century. My sons were compared to women but I told them that’s because children have more feminine looks. You should try it!
I think i might love this app. Am going a googling…after I put an alpaca on my wish list ?
I really feel you should sit on an alpaca while taking a selfie of yourself for this particular app. You must tell me who you are compared to!!!
Will Do for sure
I laughed out loud at your selfie cam reaction – so relatable. I haven’t been too moved to use this app but your post may have convinced me. I will also be putting an alpaca on my wishlist. 😀
When my husband showed me the video/meme, I couldn’t stop talking about it. It is so f’ing relatable! If you do do the app, please tell me how it goes. The disasters Google compares us to, I’m like WTF? I also got to thinking about it, having a painter at your disposal, that is the ultimate airbrushing. I’d be like, “paint those chins away, give me full lips and a full bosom.”
You’re so right!
I’ve never heard of this app before, but I am downloading it as we speak! Your last comparison was hilarious!
Turns out the app really thinks I look like some captain dude names Edward Knowles. No matter what selfie, he really likes to pop up! Too fun!
A captain? WTF? That’s hilarious! I’ve noticed as I do different pictures, I get somewhat different results. I just want to take a selfie, enter it and it comes back I resemble a Victoria Secret model. Yeah….that will never happen. LOL!
