Claude is the only one that looks like an asshole. The rest are just circular, or not even that. Does every circle in the world look like an asshole? Car wheels? Pizzas? Camera Lenses? Ferris wheels? This is like a Rorschach test.

Yes, a lot of commenters here (and the author) outing themselves.

Buttholes occur in nature all the time

If I not misheard (I don't know, just remember it), even the fetus development basically starts from the butthole.

I'm sure if I installed more junk I'd have seen more.

Even myNoise who goes against tech grain! To their credit, they added an orange circle background to it sometime this spring. Soundcloud execs woke up and went back to their trademark orange. But, heck.

For Jung, the circular maNDala represented the self - the totality of the psyche - with the center representing its organizing principle. I'v…

I read somewhere that the first invertebrate animal ate and excreted through the same butthole-shaped oriface.
