I feel bad for the poor bloke that has to detangle all that.

Paid by the hour I hope

They'll just shred it at this point. But they do have straighteners out there are fed one piece at a time.

Yeah, they are just separating it to recycle the concrete and rebar.

All that concrete and dense rebar looks like images I've seen of old Vegas casinos being torn down.

A friend who lives in Vegas said those casinos were over-engineered because they were "built by the mob, for the mob," and companies doing the work did not want any of it to fail...rumor was instead of being 'guaranteed for life' it was literally 'guaranteed by a life.'  Can't speak to validity of those claims, but her story sure sounds good.

Joke's on Big Bank. Now we all know how to get in.

If that vault had a old style plug, I hope it found a new home. Sending one of those to the scrap yard would be a shame.

Apparently old banks work well as dispensaries

Now I have to open YouTube and find a VIDEO because this post had me sold on seeing one. Straight to jail, OP.

It does look weird, it was taken with a 5yo pixel 6 probably with a smudged lens.¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Here's 3 days later.

It looks about like the kind of photos my phone takes when it's zoomed in. Spoiler: not the highest quality camera.

Why would they do that? Money is more important than children in America.

AI

Took this photo on my way to the bus stop with my Pixel 6 a couple weeks ago. Don't you think this would be a pretty stupid thing to get AI to do?

u/Jacktheforkie 1d ago

It’s likely a little AI from the phone post processing

u/FiveDozenWhales 1d ago

Looks more like the shitty post-processing that's default on a lot of phones these days.

You could try to use your brain a little bit

u/Necessary_Panda_3154 1d ago

I did - I didn’t just immediately come to the conclusion that this was AI…
• warped metal fence/mesh
• questionable symmetry with the top left grate
• illegible writing on the container/digger
• warped/wavy arm on digger
• strange texture on the background trees
• very oddly shaped lamppost centre frame

Given the unnatural features of this photo, I assumed it was AI.
