Unfortunately I think they just did.

I don't think anyone is believing a photo. It's funny though.

Where did you get this pic? This is absolutely the same pic if we can find the source.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

That's an awesome find, that's got to be it.

Judging by this pic, Mitch “Rigor Tortoise” McConnell is more corpse than man

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago

That is top notch, Gerblat.

Another user found the source of that photo, is an old holiday picture, apparently

I want the "chin too square 5/7" guys to go nuts on this picture.

Personally I think he's holding that newspaper kind of strangely, and I don't know what's up with the bright spot around his index finger.

Also the complexion on his left hand is gnarly.

Is Mitch McConnell alive?

Nope! CHUCK TESTA!

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

It's an older meme sir but it checks out--

NOPE! CHUCK TESTA!

Looks like he just finished having a really good enema.

Anyone who knows sports wanna zoom in and figure out who that is on the newspaper and if it makes sense for a recent edition? Thinking this pic may be old or AI.

[–] plz1@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

The image quality is likely terrible on purpose. It's square, so it's almost certainly modified at least to crop it, I only rarely see people do square photos on purpose for something that is supposedly candid. Photos can be taken at any time, so this would only be proof of life if

  1. The newspaper's date was legible and the paper itself could be verified
  2. The photo's quality allowed for better "is it AI" analysis

The fact they purposely included a current newspaper because they recognise how surprising it is he is still alive. Lol.

How conveniently coincidentally placed!

No. He didnt randomly lose jowels, chins and 20 years of age. That Pic is utter bullshit.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago

Not proof. Might be true, might not be, no way to know.

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

this keeps happening on lemmy where something will happen and lemmy will act like they know everything and then when it turns out that they were wrong they will have already moved on

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 days ago

run-on sentence but I care more about being understood

Blue anon out in force today I guess.
