Like, for real though, what the fuck is that? A dried minion? A minion under a microscope? Why the fuck does it have that texture

OK, I promise I only know this because it's related to my job: In the movie that came out earlier this year, there are minions with super powers. This one is supposed to be a rip off of The Thing from Fantastic Four. That's why it looks like that.

Thought it was corn.

I'm guessing somebody got drunk and blew hundreds of thousands of dollars to project a minion face onto some big advertising orb

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

It's not projected. It's the las Vegas led wall orb

I think defcon (hacking convention) happened recently.

Why is there a giant minion in a city for decadent adults?

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Because for some godforsaken reason plenty of adults seem to love minions

I don't hate Vegas. But I could see there being overlap between some people who love Minions and some people who frequent Vegas.
