An informational image from the "Xvolt 4-in-1" power extension device, showing that it can be used in outlets of of every orientation, except the CORRECT one, with the ground prong on top.
Two bottles of "Bawls" energy drink, floating through space.
An old timey styled parody advert for Carl Jeppsons "Malört" liqueur, by Jennifer Hines. It shows a red gasoline pump on the upper left, a bottle of Malört on the lower right, and says "like citrus flavored gasoline... But maybe you'll like it"
A screenshot of a low res, low poly, short draw distance racing game, with an orange car flying off the curb of a dirt road in to the water, as a blue and yellow car continues along the road
Just an awful face, made of crunchy textures applied to a low poly mesh. It's supposed to be a cute anime girl with green hair and blue eyes, with an open mouth smile. But it looks genuinely evil with a thousand yard stare.
An AMC Gremlin, primarily orange with black accents, on a Sandy beach, with a woman in a straw hat standing on the far side of it, taking a photo of 6 people forming a human pyramid for some reason?

The "SALORA FELLOW" version of the Vtech Laser 200 computer. It is a small machine. The body appears to be a very dark brown, possibly black, with light brown keys, a beige strip about 2/3rds up, across the body, separating the keyboard, from the silver upper half. This part displays the logo, and several horizontal vent lines.

The 4 members of kraftwerk at their 4 podiums, all lit with red LED strips, at the right side of the frame. A large screen behind them on the left, is filled with grey text, just saying "MACHINE" over and over. There is white and red glitchy boxy patterns in the middle of the screen.
A scene from "Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker", in which Poe Dameron says "Somehow, Palpatine returned", that has since become legendary for lazy writing. It is a largely cold toned night scene with poe from the shoulders up, his collar popped like the cool guy he is, surrounded by comrades in a rebel camp surrounded by greenery.
Peebles, the Rat, white with dark patches, standing in a fluffy white hammock with a green patterned underside. She is looking directly at the camera! She is adorable.

Just about the worst soldering job possible, holding a sad little capacitor on the motherboard of my Zotac magnus en1070 mini pc.
A photo of my fingers peeling back what might be hockey tape being used in place of capton tape, and snapping a capacitor off the motherboard of my Zotac en1070 mini pc in the process. Looks like corrosion may have also played a part?

One fellow with medium length blond hair is on a 15 inch 2005 Macbook Pro, and the second with short dark curly hair is on a blue Dell Inspiron 5100 series laptop. The third guy, with long curly hair is at the farthest end of the sofa, laughing and talking with the man on the Dell. Ramen bowls, chip bags, a large MP3 player, and other clutter fills the tables. There is actually a woman only BARELY visible, tucked in the corner of the couch, playing a red Nintendo DS. she is obscured by the Dell fellow.

One obscured player can be seen with a raised fist, and a bottle of pepsi raised in a chugging position. Various cans of cola, energy drinks and bowls previously used for massive amounts of Mr Noodle ramen are strewn about on the desks. Toys of a Tie Fighter (possibly the X1 or X2?), a chibi Zaku, and GIR are visible. A Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop is in the far background.
A white bowl with hand painted light blue and purple diagonal squiggles wrapping around the exterior, in a style similar to the famous disposable "Jazz Cup" design. It is sitting on a soft pink surface. Camera angle is slightly elevated.
