Commentary

Context: "I saw that you retook the pic of you vomiting."

Oh, that's not me vomiting.

I cannot rule out the possibility that the vomit is mine.

But the individual doing the vomiting is a stranger whose picture I found via web search.

Unless it's a picture of a friend, or even myself, which I fail to recognize.
