Were this a painting, I'd accuse the artist of being lazy and not knowing how to paint a car.
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.
π 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.
π Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
π Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
π 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.
π NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
πΈ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
π©βπ¦― 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.

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.
It's poetic, not so sure about renaissance.
This was so insane that I thought it was an AI generation
woooow
But, is it efficient???? Eh? Is it?
Garbage that incinerates itself? Sounds efficient to me!
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
Hereβs the original photo before the low-quality noise reduction and oversaturation, in case anyone else is interested.
Edit: Hereβs the video https://youtu.be/YnO6RBOs6oA
The sad thing is I thought this wasn't real.
No shame. I felt the same way until I saw the video.
2020: The longest Decade.
2021: 2020 Part II
2022: Several Steps Backward
2023: Return of the Financial Crisis
2024: Fuck Around and Find Out
2025: Just how bad can it get?
2023: Return of the Financial Crisis
Did it ever really leave? as far as I can tell the funny numbers went back up but for most real people things have been pretty consistently downhill since 2008.
If you really want to have a migraine, read Hunter Thompson's "Hell's Angels."
There's a passage where he talks about the economics of being a biker/hippie/artist circa 1970.
An Angel could work six months as a Union stevedore and earn enough to hit the road for two years. A part time waitress could make enough to support herself and her musician boy freind.
Then a guy named Nixon got to work...
Same with Thatcher in the UK.
Post war recovery worked to a degree and had made life better but people screamed about it being a nanny state because people had the ability to explore the meaning of their own life without fear of imminent death and think of all the profit that was being missed out on because we were busy helping people.
And here we are doubling down again.
Reaganomics failed during his administration.
They've been running on its incredible success for decades.
2026: :) -> >:)
One dead, seven injured according to the BBC.
The person who died was inside the vehicle, not that this makes it any better if it was an accident.
how can it be an accident
Dude was transporting fireworks in the car. They caught on fire. For whatever reason. Doors locked automatically. As designed. The guy couldn't find the hidden release lever. And so he burned to death.
He was also transporting cans of natural gas and other fuels. Who loads their truck to the brim with fireworks and anything that is highly explosive and then "accidentally" detonates it at the entrance of a hotel?
People who drove cybertrucks
Seems about the right IQ level for it.
Someone with bad decision making skills? Wanted to go out into the desert and light shit on fire maybe?
Why the fuck would doors lock automatically upon catching fire? That seems insane
Nov. 5, 2024 has been officially identified as the cause of the fire.
Dumpster fire.
(Sad that someone died)
Or was killed by the awful design decision of AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING THE DOORS in the case of an accident. WITHOUT AN EASY TO REACH RELEASE MECHANISM INSIDE.
This type of design should be illegal. Several people have already died because of this idiocy.
