I’ve heard that people claim the moon landings were faked, but (until now?) I’d never heard anyone claiming the Martian rovers were faked.

I wonder if it’s reflecting the dogs playing poker image:
I did cherry pick this one tbh, but most of them have different types (and colours) of dogs.
I’m guessing the chairs and mechanical bits were scavenged, but the outer shell was taken off first which is what we’re seeing.
AI gets the joke that was a bit obscure even by the 90s when I first read those books.
The more I look, the weirder it gets.
It kinda looks like it’s been painted, which is a fun twist on pixel art.
I was surprised to see the artifacts when I looked at the full-sized image - even though I shouldn’t’ve been cos AI gonna AI.
It’s really cool that it understands that it should look blocky, but not that the blocks should be aligned on a grid. It’s accidentally been way more creative with the brief than if it’d emulated pixel art better.
(You posted this 10 hours ago!? How did I miss it?)
Love to see some more OC here!
So this is on Prince Patrick Island? I can’t imagine how cold it is up there at 76° latitude (not that it looks too cold in your picture).
I love Art Deco too. I’ve been to the Atlas Bar in Singapore which is amazing.
That link 404s for me, is it all there?
Ah, it’s at https://www.amsterdamsights.com/nightlife/tuschinski.html
Thanks! I’d originally found this under the name “Special k” but I discovered it’s Kelenföld and edited in some other links in as you were posting.
I’ll take “Artisan”!
I’d guess Germany, since it’s a VW and the artist is German, but I couldn’t find anything authoritative saying the location.
Yeah, it’s not very clear, sorry. I’ve edited.
It was $2 million in supplies and materials for the city, but the total venture lost him ten times that.
To be honest, that’s an AI summary of the Portuguese post. I clearly didn’t check it properly before posting and I don’t know much about Ford himself.
Remember Hanlon’s Razor.
e: The Portuguese post seems to be largely based on this Guardian article, that also describes it as utopian:
Ford believed fair treatment would make his workers more responsible citizens and, in the process, solidify a client base for manufacturers. The Rev Samuel Marquis, one the heads of Ford’s employee relations office, once proclaimed that Ford’s cars were “the by-products of his real business, which is the making of men”.
But some of Ford’s social ideas were highly sinister – most notoriously his anti-semitism, which featured prominently in a newspaper he himself printed, the Dearborn Independent.
This mods need to pin this shining example of awful dad humour.
I see that the admin came back and now there’s a few admins there and all is well 👍
More an update for others, since I expect you already know!
Looks good, but this bit made me raise an eyebrow or two:
Powerful Mod Tools
This is patently false - the like of Beehaw are thinking of moving off of Lemmy because the moderation toolset’s almost non-existent and the devs don’t seem to think it’s important.
I was thinking that I associate green on flags with the middle east, and then I read:
the green and white stripes represent the tolerance that allows Christianity and Islam to coexist
This one gets weirder the more you look. There’s the guy typing on an imaginary keyboard (or using an invisible mouse), the fact that no-one really has any eyes, or that dark character who’s got some device suspended in front of his face?
