inTried cleaning a hazy lens with dish soap and it actually worked better than my $18 cleaning solution
Doubt the coating cares about one drop of soap.

inJust realized my gallery wall was too matchy after a friend said it looked 'sterile'
Man, my wife did the same thing to me last year when she said our bookshelf looked like a furniture store display. I ended up mixing in some old paperbacks with cracked spines and a weird little ceramic frog my mom made in the 90s, and now guests actually stop and look at it. Sometimes the mess is the whole point.

inA metal detector hobbyist told me my everyday carry was missing a $4 item that stops me from losing my keys in couch cushions
Man, I've been carrying the same little bottle of hand sanitizer clipped to my belt loop for like 3 years now and it's saved me more times than I can count lol. Also keep a tiny flathead screwdriver on my keychain, you'd be surprised how often that thing comes in handy.

inMy uncle in Phoenix said AI generated photos of his dog looked "too perfect" and now I can't unsee it
Isn't the "too perfect" thing kind of the point though? Those apps aren't trying to copy your uncle's exact dog, they're giving you a clean generic version of a dog. Like when you order a burger and the menu pic looks nothing like what shows up. The ear flop is what makes that dog that dog, and honestly that's the stuff AI still sucks at unless you fight with it. It's not getting better at real life, it's getting better at looking smooth and same-y. Real photos have weird little mess-ups and that's what makes them feel real.
