You hate to see it when thinking about the environment. You love to see it when thinking about Putin getting briefed what's on fire this time.

Nah its good for the environment, they were going to burn that anyway. Now it's still burnt, but the infrastructure is trashed.

Lol. That's quite a take, I kinda like it. ( I mean they'll build it again using more materials and energy, but I don't want to be a pooper of the party )

Sure. Anyway, here's how the pictures compare in any image editor (the darker the more identical the pixel): Notice that I lined the UFO up, but the skyline is now all out of whack, which seems to be a lot of work to give to oneself if all you wanted to do was add 4 words. Similarly, I can line up parts of the skyline, but now the UFO is at the wrong place: In conclusion: I am pretty sure it wa...

I feel like it's more likely the creator just moved the UFO for some reason, since lining the skylines puts just the UFO out of place.

Upvoted for getting your hands dirty with the analysis. The grain doesn't mean anything imo but yeah that alignment is fishy

You cannot align the cranes left of the explosion AND the warehouse to the right AND the smokestacks at the far right either, they, or rather it, moved random parts of the skyline around.

I saw the first image that had a tight crop and I wasn't sure what I was looking at for a few seconds. This photo is way more clear....UFO! We're doomed!

Probably :(
My basis is that in game theory if you want to disincetivise a behaviour you need to keep harming agents that take that action (negative reinforcement), but I suppose that doesn't apply here bc the Ukrainian signalling is about invading Ukraine, not the environment.

There is the additional factor that this reduces the output of oil power plants, creating more demand for electricity, so there's now a better opportunity for someone to build renewables to get more profits. I suppose you could also build something else, switch back to coal? Lmao

The best part of this is it was hit by a Russian AA missile.

That was a very appropriate quote - from a phenomenal book. Thank you for sharing that.

The name of the movie in russia is "Dependence Day". Perhaps if you were nearby when that happened it might be "Depends Day".

Did you ask a fucking AI to help you put text on this, or why is it so grainy?

Idk why you’re getting so many downvotes. It is very clearly created by AI with the actual image as an input.

That footage was hilarious, that one interceptor firing vertically 30 seconds after the drone had passed was peak comedy.

So a pure asshole is at the helm.

That's a bit chauvinistic don't you think? Some species don't develop past the deuterosomic stage, but that doesn't mean you have to be rude about it.

So we're either looking at

  1. Somebody photoshopped the composition of the original image
  2. The original image was fake and the person adding the text messed with the placement of the layers when adding text.
  3. "chatgpt add the following words to the bottom of this image and make it look more like the "I want to believe" poster from x-files"

Both Occam's and Hanlon's razors clearly point to option 3
