Who will be first to act: Jesus or The Ents?
Ugh do I ever wish ents were real.
Looks like every aerial of any large scale development
At least cloud compute will be cheap when everyone realises LLMs are pretty garbage
I think the actually infuriating thing here is that subs like r/interestingasfuck were made because r/mildlyinteresting basically turned into “look at this thing I saw” without any critical evaluation. Those subs soon fell prey to the same shit. Unsurprisingly, it’s now infected the Lemmy communities too. “I saw this thing once” isn’t fucking mildly interesting. It’s fucking annoying.
In this instance I genuinely do not understand how photos of massive construction make anyone go “huh, that’s kinda interesting but not super interesting what a novelty.” If I’m super fucking gracious and OP has never ever seen satellite photos before or even considered the concept that could be slightly novel but that’s a fucking stretch.
You are in in actually infuriating. Not interesting.
Yeah, and I described the actually infuriating thing about the post.
As I said in the other post, don’t be disingenuous with the summer/winter photos.
Also any commercial construction would look like this - warehouse, UPS shipping center, shopping center. Hell, a shopping center would be far worse.
