ROCHESTER, NY — A groundbreaking study released this week has revealed that a staggering 90% of social media activity in Western NY  is driven by AI-generated images of buffalos engaged in battle with various objects, animals, and rival NFL team mascots.

What is driving that number? Uncles. While the study found Western NY residents like and share all forms of content, male residents aged 45-65 were found to have only interacted with digitally created depictions of the bison with huge muscles.

“These men never share photos of themselves, never post anything that they’re doing, do not comment on content their family shares,” says lead researcher Dr. Karen Sullivan. “They only seem to want to engage with vagely erotic fantasy pictures of buffalo.”

“There’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing a buffalo body-slam a cowboy or headbutt a raven,” said local uncle Todd W., who has shared over 300 such images this month alone. “It’s like a release. With the season over, we need to keep the fight alive somehow.”
