    Bloody hell OP, amazing stuff!

    This reminds me of the OG internet, in the best way possible… Stumbling across a random geocities website with dozens of cool photos and researched/cited text about some obscure topic that you really don’t care about, but can’t help getting sucked in by the sheer level of passion evident!

      Thanks! All the locations for the play structures has been my most painful research project for quite some time, some of them didn’t have locations so I had to scour the uploaders account and find something with a location or something like that then ask Grok to find out where it is.

      The same with the dates for different cars, sometimes all I had was a poster or a part of a phone or whatever, then I had to find that poster/ phone and for the posters were they regional or what?

      So what I am saying is, it’s not passion, it is sheer bloody madness!

      ^(My most painful research project was for school and took a month of crawling through hundreds of publicly available documents from the US government and the US military, don’t even remember why, just remember the pain).^

      Um, am I missing something or are you calling Trump a clown?

        Not that I’m not, but my intention was more to point out the car (I now changed the image so it doesn’t show Trump) - you know, how the McD is a big USA export, brand, & meme (patriotically) associated with that country, so the McD cars must be presidential/regal in some way.

        Idk, it’s not a high level joke, just a stereotype about USA.

          That explains it, I’m British and it flew over my head.

      How the hell did I miss this! Thanks, it’s 1:04am and now I’m going to scream myself to sleep because when I close my eyes, I will see that damn clown coming towards me…
