I'm assuming this is Photoshopped?
All the edges around the plane look Photoshop fuzzy.
And those wings aren't generating any lift which at that altitude will be catastrophic.

the fuzziness could be just heat shimmer
Could be, but the parts I'm looking at wouldn't have any heat shimmer
Could it be just a model plane? Also, being close enough to be able to take that photo probably wouldn't be too healthy...
I'm assuming a decent zoom and there are parts of Snowdonia where you can get similar shots, eg CAD WEST.
But would a model plane generate heat shimmer ?0 -

Totally legitimate image... the Mach Loop is a low level RAF training circuit in Wales. Here is the same aircraft on the same loop with high hard banks at 45 seconds and 1:10. They arent as close to the ground as you think due to the angle that image was taken, and the telephoto lens. You can see this in the video. Close to the mountains yes, but thats the buzz....
The photoshopped look comes from heat shimmer and air disturbance - remember this is a big aircraft punching a hole in the air as it ploughs through it... the heat shimmer and air disturbance makes it look photoshopped. You experience this also when trying to take zoomed images on a stary night with heat rising from the ground, and or a windy night.

Ah, but that's built very well and it's solid, whereas the original picture looks a lot more rickety and unstable, and the tyres aren't used to form the walls but the foundations. Incidentally, those tyre-walled houses are very well insulated.

http://www.hoaxsearch.com/pre-cracked-eggs/Pre-Cracked eggs? Users asked us if that’s real.
There’s a new photograph going viral: An egg without its shell is being sold in plastic packaging. The advertisement claims these “pre-cracked eggs” “save time”.
Who comes up with something like that? The food industry? Extremely lazy marketers? No, satirists.
Fact check
Is it real? The photo, yes, but the product, no. This pre-cracked egg is not for sale anywhere.
It’s satire, a joke. Just look at the logo on the bottom right.
Obvious plant is a satire project by Jeff Wysaski who regularly creates mock products, posters or articles. Another obvious sign for a joke are the spelling “fimally” or the obvious way too long neck of the boy on the bottom right.
On his website Wysaski’s displaying all the sites he’s creations have been featured on. If you see the name “obvious plant”, don’t take it too seriously.
Conclusion
It’s not real, these eggs are neither being produced nor sold. It’s satire by Jeff Wysaski under the name “obvious plant”.0 -

You can get liquid whole eggs too:
I saw the Two Chicks brand in SuperQuinn back when it was SuperQuinn. Not sure if it's still stocked there.0 -

Jaysus, even with the hint, that took far longer than it should have! Was looking at Central America. Then at South America. Then I was trying to find penises in the shapes of the colours. Eventually!
PS: I originally thought the joke was that there was no way there was just one species of perching bird in most of North America.0 -

hmmmm.....somewhat skeptical about this, off a Googling I go....
Turns out to be entirely true, although perhaps not the most severe symptoms
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irukandji_syndromeMost stings occur during the summer wet season in October–May in North Queensland, with different seasonal patterns elsewhere. Because jellyfish are very small, the venom is only injected through the tips of the nematocysts (the cnidocysts) rather than the entire lengths, as a result the sting may barely be noticed at first. It has been described as feeling like little more than a mosquito bite. The symptoms, however, gradually become apparent and then more and more intense in the subsequent 5 to 120 minutes (30 minutes on average). Irukandji syndrome includes an array of systemic symptoms, including severe headache, backache, muscle pains, chest and abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, sweating, anxiety, hypertension, tachycardia and pulmonary edema. One unusual symptom associated with the syndrome is a feeling of "impending doom".Patients have been reported as being so certain they are going to die, they beg their doctors to kill them to get it over with. Symptoms generally abate in four to 30 hours, but may take up to two weeks to resolve completely.
is it just me or does it seem like most of the really horrible critters that can kill ya live Down Under?0 -

Fake news, mate. :cool:^^^^^
that's very similar to the North American Tree Squeak, my kids still think we've a good population all the way down the lane we live on
Never seen one though, they're very elusive.
