Not just you. I saw this earlier and was sure it was fake.
(Mostly because there were hundreds of the same or similar comments about how lithium batteries catch fire)
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).
The photo has some high ISO noise, so it’s expected to use noise reduction. Too much will smooth away all of the texture, resulting in the oil painting-like appearance of the posted photo.
Bumping the contrast and saturation is a common way to make photos more dramatic. They’re probably the most commonly overused and abused adjustments by novice photographers.
Unfortunately this common mistake is often the basis for a lot of conspiracy theories. I’m glad somebody came in and explained what was going on before some chucklefuck went “WHAT ARE THEY HIDING!?”
Here’s the original photo before the low-quality noise reduction and oversaturation, in case anyone else is interested.
Edit: Here’s the video https://youtu.be/YnO6RBOs6oA
The sad thing is I thought this wasn’t real.
but apparently it is
I’m not entirely sure I accept reality anymore
It’s just too perfect to be real, and yet it is.

No shame. I felt the same way until I saw the video.

You’re right. Someone pointed out in another post that it’s just another frame from the same video, but without editing.
But why do they invest work to make it worse?
They’re very common mistakes.

It’s just an example of too much of a good thing.

The hero we need
Now that you mention it, that photo definitely has a Dark Knight vibe.
I was thinking more Robocop.
I’d buy that for a dollar!
(that guy is 100% the Robocop version of Trump)
The OP’s image looks like one of those “ye olde deep fried memes” that grandpas like to talk about
you mean NUKED MEMES :D
