AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.
This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.
π Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
π Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
π Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
π The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.
π NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
πΈ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
π©βπ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

One dead, seven injured according to the BBC.
The person who died was inside the vehicle, not that this makes it any better if it was an accident.
how can it be an accident
Dude was transporting fireworks in the car. They caught on fire. For whatever reason. Doors locked automatically. As designed. The guy couldn't find the hidden release lever. And so he burned to death.
He was also transporting cans of natural gas and other fuels. Who loads their truck to the brim with fireworks and anything that is highly explosive and then "accidentally" detonates it at the entrance of a hotel?
Someone with bad decision making skills? Wanted to go out into the desert and light shit on fire maybe?
Why the fuck would doors lock automatically upon catching fire? That seems insane
You're right, but it also doesn't make it bad.
Itβs so weird that theyβre unsure whether to call it a terrorist attack:
it is not a terrorist attack because no rich people were hurt, obviously
It's a bit of a weird terrorist attack though. The whole thing about car bombs is that It's supposed to be a portable bomb. The idea is you get out before setting it off.
Also what's the point of blowing up the outside of one of his businesses, it wasn't like he was in there.
So it doesn't immediately feel like a terrorist attack.
Could be a form of self-immolation. If so, gotta give points for creativity.
Wellp! Time for another recall!
Canβt recall vehicles if all have exploded
Oh, the steel on that thing is just fiine! Give it a decent polish, slap some more poorly thought out tech in it, and you can roll out another death trap within a couple of weeks!
