Ai generated imagery.

(The lines on the road all conveniently end when they are behind someone)

is it impossible this could have been a handmade fake? I thought I remembered seeing this before the big ai boom

There are telltale signs of background breaking, so...

Yeah, the real Washington county seriff's office would never post stuff like this.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Maybe the Sans Seriff office would

There really should be a united font against this sort of thing.

I know it's fake but not AI

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

The original image makes me inclined to think it was originally a "lot lizards" joke

[–] [email protected] 15 points 2 days ago

While yea it's AI, I believe we need to stop making the lizard people feel like they need to hide. Like how many politicians would be able to live their best life and be less shit if we supported lizard people's right to hold office

Plus Hagerstown doesn't look that clean or brightly lit.

Edit: for folks that don't live in northwestern Maryland: Hagerstown is a shithole that collects everyone who was recently released from the state penitentiary up there. It's main claim to fame is being a railroad hub, but, as you'd imagine, that has not been the greatest economic boom in the last 50 years. And it's not as convenient as Frederick for being a commuter community down to DC.

Look on the bright side. It's not Cumberland. They've also got a state prison and their main claim to fame was the C&O canal and people setting out on the Oregon trail. I'd say those things are worse economically than being a railroad hub.

I think that's just a coincidence

Edit: This is sarcasm

Yes, very coincidental that the pedestrian crossing lines only go half way across the width part way through the intersection.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I mean... I have seen that on poorly maintained roads...
