Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Genuinely real. Had to block out a sign above that said the town name. Lol.

That's why I said block out, not black out lol

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 7 points 7 hours ago

The message on this sign hasn't been updated in over 10 years, but got scrambled sometime between 2021 and 2022

Edit: Actually, the last line "Free Internet" was removed sometime between 2018 and 2021. RIP Free Internet.

Although the "restaurant" sign was replaced sometime between 2014 and 2016

Show off. Lol. But thank you for blurring it out. How'd you get it? What, what narrowed the search?

The overabundance of trucks, the slightly off bumper on the truck on the right, overhead lines just going everywhere... what is the opposite of AI going sentient? I think you got sucked into the shitty matrix.

[–] dharmacurious@slrpnk.net 5 points 8 hours ago

I mean, it would explain a lot if I were to find out the machines built this town for the express purpose of being just shitty enough to keep you down without making it so shitty you kill yourself trying to leave...
