Pirates are cooler.

Bene7rddso,

yes, but Taliban have more tensions with everyone else living here

demosthememes,

Meanwhile, on a somewhat normal day in Belgorod, Russia; things got very tense for a woman who hung a blue blanket out to dry, on an orange balcony. The FSB had her take it down after enraged neighbours called in to complain.

Cannacheques,

Fsb time, no time to think, just imagine, this must be something bad!

Fsb money, I am very communist however, everyday the McDonalds man comes closer to mother Russia, and the hole in my pocket grows bigger.

buddascrayon,

There is no war in Ukraine.

iloverocks,

Ah yes a “special military operation”

UnfortunateShort,

Look at that fancy people on the upper floors having AC and the only nice balcony

Pantherina,

Wtf…imagine living in such a country

Rukmer,

I’m not saying it’s exactly the same, but I’ve heard of American kindergarten teachers being told to take down the color learning rainbow decor which were NOT pride flags because bigoted parents threw a huge fit about the gay decorations. I’ve seen unironic videos of people claiming any decor featuring a rainbow in a classroom is LGBTQ indoctrination. And they were pointing at cartoon depictions of the sky, like with smiling clouds and suns.

conorab,

Who took a photo of this community?

Nobody,

Shop a stock photo meme on the top left, and it’s dead on.

Plot twist: it’s the same house

madmaurice,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Have you not heard of appartments before?

pewgar_seemsimandroid,

he probably has, but it could still be for 1 person

madmaurice,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Right, but then “iT’s tHE SaME HoUSe” still isn’t a plot twist. It very obviously is the same house. The question is whether it’s the same tennant.

fushuan,

It’s not obvious that it’s the same house. House doesn’t necessarily equate building. People use house and home interchangeably, and in an apartment complex “house” can refer to a single apartment. Thus, when saying that it’s the same house they are saying that the same person owns those apartments. You might not agree with that definition of house, but that clearly what the OP is using.

madmaurice,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

A house is a building. Do you by any chance mean household ?

fushuan,

It’s not what I mean, it’s what the OP meant, and yeah, they meant household when saying house but that was pretty apparent by the context.

madmaurice,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

They’re two different things though? They’re not synonyms…

fushuan,

Well, you suggested me household and since English is not my first language I thought that that was the correct word, but it isn’t.

House in Spanish for example can mean a building, or an apartment, and I thought it also did in English, but after searching for a bit, for building it can’t be used as apartment. In any case, in the way OP used the word it’s clear to me that they mean that all the windows are of the same owner/big apartment, instead of being apartments of separate owners. Have a nice day.

(BTW, unless Cambridge is wrong house can also be used as household: (dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/…/house: all the people living in a house)

madmaurice,
@madmaurice@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

In any case, in the way OP used the word it’s clear to me that they mean that all the windows are of the same owner/big apartment, instead of being apartments of separate owners.

People also thought that Russia wouldn’t invade Ukraine, because it was clear to them. Either write what you mean or don’t act surprised if people take what you said at face value…

soggywhale,

The commies and the LGBTQ are should be allies tho

SchizoDenji,

Except that a lot of commie leaders in the past have murdered LGBTQ groups.

PieMePlenty,

Then they weren’t commies but went with the leading regime and pushed their own agenda.

SchizoDenji,

Ahh yes, the “not real commies” excuse.

PieMePlenty,

I mean communism is about a classless stateless society right? Workers unite, everyone is equal, from each according to his ability and all that… Where in the ideology does it state LGBT groups don’t fit this bill? I’m not using the not real commies excuse, I’m saying the fact they were communist and non inclusive of other members of the working class is contradictory.

Communism discriminates class, nothing else.

seitanic,
@seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

You could say the same thing about capitalism. Or, hell, any other economic system. I see zero overlap between economics and LGBTQ. I’d love to hear a convincing argument otherwise, though.

@seitanic@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

What does communism have to do with LGBTQ?

Kusimulkku,

I’m guessing some student housing thing

Mr_Blott,

Looks more like a wicker basket to me

space_gecko,

Helaman Halls at BYU. A lot of the student housing had fun post-it art or a variety of national flags in the windows, at least as of a few years ago.

hoshiyari,

Plot twist it’s all one house

Teon,
@Teon@kbin.social avatar

Top left works nights so we won't see the flag until the moon shines.

PersnickityPenguin,

Should be a NATO flag

Catsrules,

I am more stressed out about the construction of the building. Looks like a basket weaver decided to lay some bricks.

Jordan_U,

Partially AI generated “photo”?

isildun,

Definitely AI generated. Look at the bottom-right of the Confederate flag. It’s all messed up, classic generative AI “artifacting” for lack of a better word for it.

Edit: lower down in the thread the original was posted. This was upscaled (very poorly) by AI.

dugmeup,

Good call!

AlexWIWA,

I don’t think so. I saw this back some time before COVID.

This one may be generated by I’ve definitely seen a picture like this

SaltyIceteaMaker,

This looks ai generated but im 99.9% certain that there is a real version of this picture

AlexWIWA,

That’s what I think too. I’ve definitely seen this exact layout, but I think this either has a filter or some weird generation.

PersnickityPenguin,

Wow it is ai

:(

0x2d,

Ai generated

Ddhuud,

I support the guy with the white flag. I surrender too.

Something_Complex,

He’s French. But at least he’s having a laugh with his neighbours in a daily basis I bet

max,

Lmao could this be more AI generated

odium,

I’ve seen this reposted many times over the past decade. I suspect the image is older than realistic ai generated images.

expatriado,

so this image is a window into the past

Kusimulkku,

This is an old photo. So yes, it could be more AI generated

mriormro,
@mriormro@lemmy.world avatar

It looks like it was ai upscaled. Zoom into the letters or the rounded corners of the picture. It’s easier to spot that way.

IndiBrony,
@IndiBrony@lemmy.world avatar

yeah I did some digging and one of the earlier posts I found of this was back in april 21 and it was much smaller. Definitely seems to be upscaled. Certainly looks fake when you zoom in on this. The Soviet flag actually looks worse in this compared to the other image I saw.

PRUSSIA_x86,

The bricks are throwing me off, but it could be the camera quality.

irmoz,

What makes you say that?

Stalinwolf, (edited )
@Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca avatar

People out here downvoting the implication that this is an artifical image. AI or poor photoshop, this is shaping up to be a real reddit moment.

There is definitely some interesting things happening here. If not AI, it’s definitely showing characteristics of being artificial.

https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/7656d2be-7c0d-498f-9d90-1a4405f1763a.png

max,

Yeah so apparently it’s a real picture taken quite some time ago that has been upscaled. It looks absolutely horrendous though and 100% fake, especially the parts you highlighted. I guess I’m not terminally online enough to recognize a repost or something, but weirdly enough I’m OK with that.

PixxlMan,

Look at the other pictures posted in this comment thread. The picture OP used was a particularly terrible version of it for some reason, there are other versions that don’t look nearly as bad.

stebo02,
@stebo02@sopuli.xyz avatar

yeah it’s definitely (poorly) upscaled by AI but originally it was a real picture

edinbruh,

This image is very old, since before accessible generative AI. It’s probably been AI upscaled/improved. Notice how the headline is also borked
