Today, the pelican riding a bicycle prompt made with Claude Opus 5.5 is said to have drawn an SSR—worth giving the prompt a try:
🚲 Pelican Riding a Bicycle Generate a 3D scene of a pelican riding a bicycle, using every single one of your capabilities to the fullest. Then upload it to a CDN and give me the access link. A pelican wearing a helmet and sunglasses, with a red scarf tied around its neck, rides along the coastal highway catching fish. The scarf features cloth physics simulation, with a day-night cycle transitioning from dusk to a starry moonlit night, ocean waves on the sea surface and breaking waves along the shore. W/S for acceleration/deceleration, A/D for lane changes to catch fish, spacebar for jumping, T to spread wings and lift the front wheel; 14 achievements, 5 camera modes (including cinematic camera movement and pelican’s POV), browser-based real-time synthesized sound effects and music (rhythm synced to pedaling cadence), touchscreen buttons, and frame-rate adaptive quality. When idle, it will automatically drive to chase fish.
