I still can't believe this horrid photoshop was intended to be believed as real

The sign disallowing sitting is real.

Fucking landlords.

I've seen rainbow painted benches with anti-homeless stuff on them. Makes my blood boil because I know it's intentional to make everybody believe "ThE TrAnS DiD It". I wish the people who did those would end up homeless and alone when they get old.

Yeah it's incredibly sloppy work. What I'm curious about is like the joke isnt even that funny anyway so why bother doing a Photoshop to prop it up? Like if I stumbled upon this in real life it would probably get a chuckle and a meme made of it like this but someone used their imagination to make this? Weird.

I thought it was real, figured the colors were in solidarity with the people being treated shitty and committing to an all-inclusive message about standing together.

Maybe I really am way too positive about life and that thought makes me sad.

what part of this says photoshop?

[–] Eiim@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The color bands go over the spikes

[–] TimewornTraveler@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

isn't that how it would look if it were painted over the spikes though?

[–] Hyggyldy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Only if it was spray painted from the exact angle the camera is in.

Yeah, the spikes in the back are the normal gray color!

Meanwhile, "no human is illegal" in the background

If someone were to accidentally sit on it, would the owner be liable for the medical bills of such an obvious, yet inclusive, deathtrap?

if you sat on it it wouldn't do any physical harm if you sit on a lot of spikes they don't actually puncture anything it's just really uncomfortable so you definitely don't want to sit on it won't actually injure you also they probably aren't sharp enough that one could do anything anyway just enough to hurt

That's only if you sit on it slowly, if you were shoved into a hazard on accident, while I would say we need to look at why that Hazard is there and who we need to talk to about it.

they said accidentally sit on it and I said if you sit on them not if you were shoved into them and like I said they probably aren't all that sharp anyway so even then you'd probably be fine some minor scrapes and cuts at the very worst nothing serious

[–] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 7 points 11 months ago

I meant that more along the lines of one of us should go shove another one of us into it, say it was an accident and Sue the fuck out of them for putting something like that up in the first place.
