I had no idea these tomatoes start the process at the size of a small sedan.
Yeah, they’re put there by a tomatow-truck.
I’ve climbed that volcano and ate the best damn tomatoes in my life at a little restaurant about half way to the summit.
“Everything reminds me of her!”
I am these tomatoes’ reckoning!
The sandwich at that restaurant (or the one across the road and down 1/10th of a mile, not sure which you were at) was amazing. Some sort of puff pastry with tomato and mozzarella. Tourist, schmourist, that was fantastic
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was the same restaurant. We got a caprese salad and charcuterie board. 🤌
How do they keep birds and other pests from shitting on them or eating them?
That’s the secret, they don’t!
Same with sea salt, if you think you’re only getting salt then I’ve got bad news for you!
The attendants wouldn’t let me cycle through the salt pans in the Camargue because my 2kg dog was in one of the baskets on my bike. I pointed out exactly what OP did here, yet it fell on deaf ears and I never did get to see the piles of birdshit covered salt

At first glance I thought this was an AI generated pic of some nonsense again. I think the internet fried my brain.
Something doesn’t work out photographically, the distant tomatoes are way too big. The sharpness is fucky, too
The distant ones look way farther away than they actually are because the shelf is a little bit higher. Makes the edge of it look like a path or something
Seems legit enough to me. The next rack of tomatoes would only be ~2m away after all given the gaps between rows aren’t going to be massive. Pretty sure the sharpness issues are primarily from repeated JPEG recompression data loss - you can find a better quality version of the image by searching ‘carmine spina tomatoes’ which both looks less compressed in the far ground and dates from at least 2022 (so before mass popularity of AI generation).
Can you link to the better version? Every version I’ve seen is exactly the same and I’m pretty sure it’s AI generated. If you study it, none if it actually makes sense.
The one I was thinking of is this one from a Facebook page, but looking around a bit more there’s also this one from someone’s instagram. The instagram one is mainly notable because it dates the image back further to at least 2021, making it even more unlikely to be AI generated.
The common attribution appears to be this Instagram account but google images didn’t show me one from that account when looking for other version of the photo and I’m not about to make an instagram account in order to scroll through years of photos looking for the potential original.
You might be right. But my theory is that the “watermark” is typical almost-legible AI gibberish text (it almost looks like it says “Photography” but does it really?) and that it’s pulling from similar looking images in the training data, like when it tries to slap a Getty Images watermark on an output image.
the watermark is the photographer’s name, here’s the high res picture and some other angles taken from his facebook page
Okay, maybe they’re real. We may never know for sure! ;)
The watermark is noticeably more readable in the Facebook image I linked though, and it does say photography (even there it is somewhat blurred though, so assuming it was actually clear in the original source that copy is a few recompressions along the chain).
The dates of the other sources however are what really convinces me it’s not AI. After all, who was doing good quality photorealistic AI image generation in 2021?
Do they export all of their flies to Mexico or something?
My first thought as well: Those would be covered in flies, ants, and/or other bugs if I tried it around here (which is not Mexico). It makes me wonder if this photo is taken some place that doesn’t really have much in the way of bugs, as hard as that is to imagine, or if they go to great lengths to kill all the pests in the area to prevent them from taking over the tomato yield.
My dad is trying his hand at sun dried tomatoes this year and these don’t seem to be an issue. I thought his yard would be covered in flies but nope
I dry them in a food dehydrator or in the oven. There’s no way I could leave them out, exposed like this in my part of the world.
Perhaps it’s the lack of water as it dries.
Holocene extinction babyyyy
I’d be so annoyed at people casually labelling my photography of being AI generated and then casually being all "oopsie I guess it’s not".
What’s wrong with them maters
Ain’t nuttin wrong wit dem maters boy wut da hael wrong wit chu?
That is incredibly neat.

They don’t - it adds to the flavour.
People don’t think it be like it is. But it do.
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
Sometimes it don’t be like that,
But sometimes, it do
they dont
