Weird Baking, Did OP tell an AI to photoshop ganache onto their cookies, or nah?

OP for this baking post insists that this photo came straight from their phone camera. I don’t buy it, this ganache looks too shiny, but doesn’t reflect anything in the actual environment, the way the chocolate is pushed into the ganache is nonsense, and would imply that there’s pits in the middle of the cookies or OP cut these chocolates in completely non-regular chunks, and the way it sits on some of the cookies makes the perspective look kind of wonky.

The underlay is also I think? Supposed to be a silicone baking mat, but isn’t textured the right way. None of these is a smoking gun.

Problems with New Submersible Pump

Hello, first-time poster in this sub. I just had to replace all the 70 year old galvanized steel pipes by digging up and running a new line in the 40-ish feet between the well and the house. The well guys installed a submersible to replace the jet pump (location in middle of home) and connected using PEX. Since then, the well has been short-cycling every 3.5 mins, which we reported and they checked out. They blame the diaphragm tank from 2003, which we didn’t replace, but say the new pump probably did her in.

However, this happened on Tuesday, and we’re experiencing that our mud soup lawn is getting… soupier. Which seems like the opposite of what should be happening given that it’s June and hasn’t rained in days. The soil is clay, the well is about 40 ft and hasn’t ever run dry. Anyone who actually knows anything about wells have any thoughts about the babbling brook?
