Guy looks like he's about to drink some potion and really fuck some Romans up.

Ass for chin. Once you see it, it can't be unseen!

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago

I'll take that over dick-nose EVERY time.

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

You were looking for it. Weren't you?

[–] mienshao@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

DAMMIT! You’re right 😡

How would they know he has a mustache and an ear piercing and that he had male pattern baldness? I can understand the shape of the face and such…

[–] Soup@lemmy.world 35 points 2 days ago (2 children)

They got his face shape and then added styles that were documented to be popular at the time.

[–] Wav_function@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

A bigger photo would surely show the onion on his belt

[–] herrvogel@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I wonder... did he ride an obnoxiously loud horse? Was his gambeson adorned with the stylized emblems of various troubadours and/or bandit gangs? Did he run a shady laudanum business from the back office of the local inn?

I think he’d approve of the name of this platform.

Is that Lemmy from Motorhead, holding the Ace of Spades. Give me an AI prompt without giving me an AI prompt

[–] lemonwood@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 days ago

At that time the Anglo Saxons where foreigners among the Celtic Britons and their Romano British Culture. So he would probably be surprised, that no one is speaking Brittonic or Latin anymore. He might have gone to great length learning those native languages when he arrived in Britain and now people only speak a weird, very simplified baby version of his own West Germanic language with half the grammar and consonants taken out and the vowels all shifted around like a parody of his language.

He looks like he'd like to do two chicks at the same time. I bet if he were a millionaire, he could hook that up.

[–] ellieficent@reddthat.com 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I hear chicks dig dudes with money... well, maybe not all chicks, but the kinds that'd double up on a due like him, at least.

[–] Jagget@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He looks like that old guy building fences from the Clarkson's Farm

[–] lividweasel@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Gerald. That was my first thought.

[–] meejle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

God, I bet those replies were a cesspit

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Its such a shame, since instead of being about adapting to modern technology it becomes about dog whistles and exclusionary politics.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Looks more like a gaul to me.

[–] Sergio@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago

ikr he and Obelix oughta go bash some Romans.

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 days ago

I know plenty of people in Frankish Germany that look like that guy!

[–] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

he looks like every mid 30s guy that refuses to age and that buys 12$ coffee at local coffee shops because they can definitely taste the difference

[–] starchylemming@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

mid 30? mid 50 at least.

[–] crank0271@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

I think they got the neckline wrong. This guy definitely wears a deep-V.

[–] shiroininja@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Thats just Davey havoc in 2025

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

At least he had access to a proto-bassguitar.

[–] gigastasio@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That…that’s just Derrick. I just talked to him at work this morning.

[–] frezik@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 days ago

Don't leave us hanging, what does he think of England today?

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

He'd complain about immigrants taking his job as an unemployed drunk man.

[–] Isa@feddit.org 3 points 2 days ago

For that, they got horses, back then, and they called themselves Knight (as in Knight Rider) … or so I heard.
