A Krispy Kreme delivery van containing 10,000 fresh doughnuts has been stolen, the US doughnut chain has reported.

The van was en route to various delivery sites in Newcastle when it was stolen from a Carlingford service station about 3.30am on Wednesday.

NSW Police are currently searching for the van, along with the sweet-toothed thief, believed to be a woman, who allegedly stole the van while the driver was inside the service station.

        Her monotooth gleamed in the light as saliva dribbled from her face, the action of opening her jaw forcing her eyes to diverge. Her air intake snorkel wagged like a tail. RoboHelen felt exhilarated from the very base of her bio-tires to the top of her simulant-hair. She did doughnuts all the way home, and then some more.

          Anywhere you’d recommend to learn more about this? I’m really losing touch with the speed of this stuff

            The easiest is probably Bing Image Creator, using OpenAI’s DALLE 3. https://www.bing.com/create. It’s free. You will need a Microsoft account to login. If that’s something you’re comfortable with, it’s the one I’d recommend starting with.

            Other than that, there’s Midjourney https://www.midjourney.com/home but that requires logging into Discord and is paid.

            There’s also https://clipdrop.co/ which is free (with limits) as well.

            I don’t suggest entering prompts with any of your personal info. General stuff like “person stealing a Krispy Kreme donuts van” is fine.

            There are some you can run locally but you can look into it yourself later.

            I use Bing’s Dall-E (with a throwaway Microsoft account because stuff them). It’s free and they run it on their computers so you don’t have to own an expensive Nvidia graphics card. (Sadly the text-to-image generation world is mostly Nvidia-only, despite AMD cards being in theory completely capable, because Nvidia has a stranglehold on the software backends)

        They made plans to return the 8000 recovered donuts to the rightful owner.

            The receiving paperwork confirms the delivery of the 6,000 donuts.

                A police officer has been placed in the area to keep an eye on the 4000 donuts

                  Did you know that cops only return 40% of the stolen donuts that they recover? It’s true! Google 40% cops

    Just call the diabetes clinics and ask if there’s a Krispy Kreme van in the parking lot.

    I hope this food heist merits a mention on Intentionally Blank.

    So you’re telling me Newcastle is full of thieving cunts on both sides of the world?

    Context: initially thought this was Newcastle, UK, and wasn’t surprised.

      I’m guessing it goes around to a bunch of stores. Could even cover the entire city. I doubt one store is doing those numbers.
