Accidental Renaissance

AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.

This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.

πŸ‘‰ Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.

πŸ‘‰ Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

πŸ‘‰ Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

πŸ‘‰ The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.

πŸ‘‰ NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

πŸ“Έ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

πŸ‘©β€πŸ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

Were this a painting, I'd accuse the artist of being lazy and not knowing how to paint a car.

Seen somewhere else: it's really impressive that Tesla designed a "truck" so bad that when one explodes you can't be sure whether it was a car bomb or just yet another design flaw.

This was so insane that I thought it was an AI generation

But, is it efficient???? Eh? Is it?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Garbage that incinerates itself? Sounds efficient to me!

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

I just learned that this was an actual explosion rather than a Tesla special bonfire.

Nice bird of prey look to the top of the flame

Here’s the original photo before the low-quality noise reduction and oversaturation, in case anyone else is interested.

2025

Edit: Here’s the video https://youtu.be/YnO6RBOs6oA

They are different photos. The framing is different, the flames are different. Im not saying the posted one isnt altered, but the difference in appearance could just be from different cameras (quality, settings, etc).

One dead, seven injured according to the BBC.

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 63 points 1 week ago (11 children)

The person who died was inside the vehicle, not that this makes it any better if it was an accident.

It’s so weird that they’re unsure whether to call it a terrorist attack:

  • Luigi shot one guy = 100% terrorist.
  • Someone commits a car bombing outside of a presidential elects business = better find out what color his skin was before making snap judgments.
[–] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

It's a bit of a weird terrorist attack though. The whole thing about car bombs is that It's supposed to be a portable bomb. The idea is you get out before setting it off.

Also what's the point of blowing up the outside of one of his businesses, it wasn't like he was in there.

So it doesn't immediately feel like a terrorist attack.

Could be a form of self-immolation. If so, gotta give points for creativity.

Can’t recall vehicles if all have exploded

Nov. 5, 2024 has been officially identified as the cause of the fire.

Nov. 5, 2024 could not be reached for comment.

Dumpster fire.

My first thought was "this is the timeline where biff got the almanac" Doesn't even look that similar to the movie(yet?), must be a similar feeling i suppose

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Could be worse, it could be the future where President Lisa Simpson appoints her brother Bart as the minister of "keeping it real". I heard they inherited quite the financial blackhole from President Tr- oh.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Doesn’t even look that similar to the movie(yet?),

Isn't this kind of what it looked like outside of Biff's building? I'd say it looks pretty similar.

This Cybertruck and the F150 from the attack in New Orleans were both rented from Turo. Also the explosion was insanely large. I'm thinking this is likely not a coincidence and the two may even be related.

[–] alcoholicorn@lemmy.ml 40 points 1 week ago (2 children)

lmao if it was a terrorist attack, but cybertrucks explode so often nobody noticed.

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago

The polygon count was too low.
