Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

2019er Bild sieht irgendwie nach Photoshop aus.

[–] Lobohobo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Die Farben sehen wegen der Abendsonne und der benutzten Kamera echt ein bisschen so aus, aber die Rheinpromenade ist echt sehr schön.

This guy said something photoshop related in German and I hope it is not a photoshop

[–] Cozy@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

He said it looks like it's photoshop and not real, but it is real, it's just the weird lighting that makes it look like it. (Hope you wanted a real answer and your comment wasn't just joking, couldn't tell)

It’s lovely there. Been to many a festival along the river

Wow that's amazing. Green spaces are so important to our mental health and happiness. Really great to see this.

Are we going to magically assume the traffic just vanished?

People and goods still need to be moved from one part of the city to another, as well as from other parts of the country and even internationally. Way too many of these "fuck cars" people naively think you can just wave a magic wand and make the transport of goods and people just disappear. Something would need to be done to solve that. Was an underground highway built? Alien teleportation? A fleet of magic carpets were made available that run on unicorn farts that allow people to get around?

It's an underground highway. Out of sight, out of mind. I imagine they probably also improved the overall road design, like Seattle, Denver, and Boston have done (or are doing) with their projects to bury highways below-grade.

Am I crazy or was there a recent post that was basically these two images (different angle, I think) with the dates flipped?

Wish we could do this in my town, miles of undeveloped lakefront access blocked by an 8 lane highway.. it sucks.

Progress and gentrification.
