The group input and output of a geometry node tree, strung together by a noodle which glows green from the group input socket. Above and below the noodle float the words "GEOMETRY NODES START HERE".

The animated intro of a youtube video. In it a node group is used to bounce first a ball, then a donut, then monkey and then multiple balls - at first in unison and then counterpoint, like jazzical spheroids. Finally a monkey rises into frame covered in bouncing balls. It's like studio ghibli went to the vets.

A 3D scene where digits peel away like the flight of autumn leaves. It is quite probably the result of a midlife crisis

A 3D render on a geometry node tree - itself made of 3D geometry - with a ball sat precariously on one of its noodles. Above the ball hang text and an arrow. "Animate me" the text requests.
This video shows how you can use the "framing" function to consistently control the zoom scale of the geometry nodes window
A quote from Douglas Adam’s The Salmon of Doubt: Hitchhiking the Galaxy One Last Time “I've come up with a set of rules that describe our reactions to technologies: 1. Anything that is in the world when you're born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you're fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're thirty-five is against the natural order of things.”

A photo (its slight blurriness hinting at the struggle with which it was made) of a magnificent little spaniel wearing a fetching dog cone collar, looking up at the photographer while standing in front of a hastily handmade sign that reads "'DEREK' NOW DUE ON MONDAY'"
A screenshot showing two geometry node trees with two captions. Above the first (a very neat and well ordered tree) is the title "how I node in public". The second captions reads "how I node in private" and beneath it is such a mess of a node tree that I'm honestly quite surprised I'm willing to share it

A blender render of a multi-eyeballed tentacle creature who looks a little sad that the week has begun and that it’s yet more of the same soulless grind that makes multi-eyeballed tentacle creatures miserable
