Fake History Porn

Welcome to /c/fakehistoryporn@lemmy.world , where fake history is made. Find a historically significant photo, come up with a fake history title, post it, laugh.

The name is a reference to the fact that the pictures should be worth marveling at. This is NOT a place for hardcore pornography. Tasteful nudity is fine as long as it fits within the context of the post (please mark it as NSFW).

Reality: Unboxing of the statue of liberty.

"Hey everybody, today I've got a real treat. This was a gift from the French to the United States of America. Only two were ever made, and I'm really excited to do this unboxing. So let's go ahead and thank my first sponsor; WarThunder Online...."

The artist built two, the second is significantly smaller and on display in France.

He also built a small, bronze reference model to use while building America's statue. But I just looked it up, and that reference model is also on public display in France as well. So, technically there are three original 'Statues of Liberty.'

Back when it was before the French didn't follow the US into the illegal war in Iraq.

Still a wonderful gift from France.
