Ruined? Those auctioneer will spin some artsy story and it will be a million pound art. It's money laundering after all.

The difference between art and graffiti is about 100 years.

Story is wrong, it was his last day.

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 78 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You're not wrong.

The security guard has since been fired and the police have opened a criminal investigation.

  1. I knew I'd read this before.
[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

I think, you found a bug in the Lemmy webpage. 🙃

Woah

Edit: doesn't work for this comment to me

In voyager it just looks cut off

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

So, what's happening is that it interprets a number at the start of a line, followed by a dot, to be an enumeration:

  1. One
  2. Two
  3. Three

And then it indents that text to a certain fixed width, which is why a very long number sticks out to the left.

Why your comment didn't work, is for two reasons:

  1. It stops interpreting a number as an enumeration when you go beyond 9 digits. That's why your first and last example didn't work.
  2. It automatically 'fixes' the enumeration, if the numbers aren't successors. I actually wrote "123456789." at the start of this line, but it changes it to a "2.". That's why the "2334." and "23145524." you wrote got changed to a "124." and "125.", which made them too short to really look broken.

Lol. I can see the matrix.

O wait I can't.

That was his day on the job.

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Of all of his days on the job, this was all of them

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

I just wish it was the original artist who got a job as a security guard just for this

A conservationist should be able to remove the ink. I doubt it’s “ruined”.

Edit: looked it up, apparently restoration cost about $5k. Not ruined, but definitely a costly little stunt.

Article where the guard explains a bit

[–] ChillCapybara@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 month ago

He explains that some teenage girls handed him a pen and said draw eyes on it. And he was like, okay sure I guess.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 31 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Who the hell is that stupid lmao

[–] gAlienLifeform@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Daily Mail readers

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

In this context a security guard.

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

"ruined" in the eyes of the ones. "Upgraded" in the eyes of others.

Taste in art is highly individual as can be seen here again.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

“eyesed” in the eyes of the literal

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He may have added value.

[–] Maelvie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 month ago

Making art with art 👌

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

They should promote him, its much better now.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Should have used googly eyes

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago

It was his first day, he only had the pen in his pocket.

And what have we learned, kids?

Always carry a pocketful of googly eyes!

[–] boaratio@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

I think it makes it better.

[–] Feyr@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

They misspelled improved

[–] ThatKomputerKat@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Missed his calling, should have worked in a corrections facility.

[–] Jikiya@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Sweet, the Russian army gets more meat for it's grinder. You would think Russian serfs would be more careful about breaking the law during these mass sacrifice times.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

He was actually a veteran with significant injuries, so he's already been through the grinder

[–] AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

You should use Linux.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 1 month ago

Has he been arrested like those people with the harmless orange powder?

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 2 points 1 month ago

Both versions suck.
