Wow, thats some really nice looking work! It looks nicer than something that’d cone with a barbie from the factory, that’s kinda incredible to me

I believe the slate is an ev if you’re talking about an internal combustion engine

Man, I wish I cost $7000000. We gotta stop setting unreasonable standards

Alien is 100% an excellent example! Its one of my favorite examples of the aesthetic ☺️

Thats fucking beautiful lmao

Yeah cassette futurism is an aesthetic subgenre of retrofuturism that imagines a SciFi future where the capabilities of technology are greater but its still has the construction and aesthetic of tech from the era of cassettes

So like the way theyre still using CRTs and magnetic tape media in Blade Runner but they can zoom and enhance, there are androids that mimic humans, and they have flying cars

Its SciFi but the technology that powers the future is frozen in time, like with steam punk, atom punk, and disel punk

There’s a more active cassette futurism comm, I didn’t realize this was a different one and is empty: !cassettefuturism@lemmy.world And its predecessor from before lemm.ee shut down !cassettefuturism@lemm.ee

They were created in the image of a reddit sub by the same name. Any would give some examples of what cassette futurism looks like- that being said I’m delighted I saw this lol. You could also share this on one of the Loops comms if you haven’t already and would like to :)

Ah interestimg, it makes a bit more sense now within the context of the practices from the time period, though the article you linked seems to suggest the practice didn’t have much environmental impact

thanks for the additional context :)

It sounds like he was protesting against nuclear power, not bombs… Can’t say I’m on board with his agenda in that case

That was fucking fantastic, what a fun way to hear a familiar song with new ears

Thanks for sharing!

Thats infuriating, I’m so sorry man. That sucks ass :(

Thanks for the dimensions, thats helpful context!

Thats 0.8 × 4.5 × 1.8 inches for anyone more familiar with imperial :)

Man, in the thumbnail he looks a whole lot like Robbin Williams

This isnt quite what the sub is for and I do not understand it, but I’m glad you’re having fun lol

Please explain chuck tingle I simply must know more

I think translating ICE related materials and resources into more languages is gonna be really important…

Frogs be looking mighty polite out here

My understanding is that the restriction comes from the great depression, when the government was worried about people poaching deer and decimating the population by hunting more than was allowed

And then we just never got rid of the exception.

Similar to how short rifles were restricted to create additional charges for bootleggers transporting alcohol during the prohibition, since being in a vehicle really benefits from having a shorter gun so bootleggers would cut length off their barrels so they could more easily handle their guns in the vehicle

Ahh, okay thanks for filling me in

Thats super interesting context, thanks for expanding on what they said!

Eughh 😬

I feel like that should probably be in a museum if its gonna continue to exist… It being part of a private collection and being sold feels kinda gross…

Interesting read, thanks for sharing

How is that not assault with a deadly weapon?
