The caption reads: "Defeated by roses. Near Turin's Lingotto station, along a lonely path, Miss Guida Concetta Rinino, 28 years old, who was bringing a nice bunch of roses to a relative, was accosted by an unknown young man. The young woman, rather than losing heart, defended herself with extraordinary energy, using the bunch of flowers as a weapon. So it was that the scoundrel, his face all scratched up, had to flee. (Drawing by Walter Molino.)"

these new MLB rules where they can use 8 different pitchers across multiple timelines simultaneously are getting out of hand

Unfortunately, it was a necessary rule change due to the advent of outcome integration by batting teams. It's undetectable if done properly and selects for the best hit across multiple possible futures, so the only real way to make things fair is to allow the pitching team to do the same thing.

The resultant adversarial selection leads to significant visual divergence before the iterations stabilise, resulting in the "Eight Fucking Pitchers" phenomenon. The process appears less striking (heh) on the batting end due to its reactionary nature; the best pitch is the one that demands the swing the batter will find hardest, which may be delivered in multiple ways but will tend to be struck similarly.

Contrary to popular belief, though, these are all actually possible versions of the same person; thanks to Flizbit's Law, competing alternate future selection eventually drifts into alternate past selection if pushed hard enough. Pitcher #7 experienced a genetic mutation just so, pitcher #5 sunk countless hours into training while failing to run from his grief, pitcher #2 discovered her true self, etc.

Fibonacci: Hmm... I sure wish there was a way to mathematically represent an empty quantity.

this crab has better table manners than some of the people I served when I was a waitress at the pub.

Joy and whimsy detected! This post is joyful and whimsical!

This distinguished gentlebeast appears to be a Smooth-handed Ghost Crab (Ocypode cordimana)!

They are members of the Ghost and Fiddler crab family Ocypodidae, and have a highly varied diet of plant/algal matter, other invertebrates, vertebrates, eggs, and carrion. They’re opportunistic and will try to get anything they can eat!

This species is also widely distributed across the Pacific and Indian oceans, where they can be found most active at night on beaches. Like other ghost and fiddler crabs, they typically stay hidden in their burrows during the day to avoid predators.

Grapes, as shown here, make for a delightful treat for captive Ocypodes; however, it should only be a treat and part of a balanced and varied diet including fish pellets, shellfish (such as clams), and veggies.
