This Worth1000 competition takes the concept of “[You are what you eat](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spoof-beauty-range)” literally with these images. Some of them are fairly cute, such as the [baby merged with the pear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ai-baby-generator), but others are a bit sick, like the watermelon head. The melon one is downright rude, and the fish cat is pretty funny.

It really is a truly strange collection of images. Although some of these ideas would actually work in real life--if you were bald, how cool would it be to have a [pineapple tattoo on your head](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/persona-ai)?
