Hereβs the original photo before the low-quality noise reduction and oversaturation, in case anyone else is interested.

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.

The sad thing is I thought this wasn't real.
I'm not entirely sure I accept reality anymore
It's just too perfect to be real, and yet it is.

The hero we need
Now that you mention it, that photo definitely has a Dark Knight vibe.

They are different photos. The framing is different, the flames are different. Im not saying the posted one isnt altered, but the difference in appearance could just be from different cameras (quality, settings, etc).
Youβre right. Someone pointed out in another post that itβs just another frame from the same video, but without editing.

Did it ever really leave? as far as I can tell the funny numbers went back up but for most real people things have been pretty consistently downhill since 2008.
If you really want to have a migraine, read Hunter Thompson's "Hell's Angels."
There's a passage where he talks about the economics of being a biker/hippie/artist circa 1970.
An Angel could work six months as a Union stevedore and earn enough to hit the road for two years. A part time waitress could make enough to support herself and her musician boy freind.
Then a guy named Nixon got to work...

2026: :) -> >:)
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.

Itβs so weird that theyβre unsure whether to call it a terrorist attack:
- Luigi shot one guy = 100% terrorist.
- Someone commits a car bombing outside of a presidential elects business = better find out what color his skin was before making snap judgments.
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.

Wellp! Time for another recall!
Photo of the year
Nov. 5, 2024 has been officially identified as the cause of the fire.
Nov. 5, 2024 could not be reached for comment.
Dumpster fire.
(Sad that someone died)
Or was killed by the awful design decision of AUTOMATICALLY LOCKING THE DOORS in the case of an accident. WITHOUT AN EASY TO REACH RELEASE MECHANISM INSIDE.
This type of design should be illegal. Several people have already died because of this idiocy.
Was the person who died a bystander or a Musk fanboy? That'll affect my level of sympathy for them
Supposedly the person was inside the vehicle. The vehicle was a rental.

My first thought was "this is the timeline where biff got the almanac" Doesn't even look that similar to the movie(yet?), must be a similar feeling i suppose

Were this a painting, I'd accuse the artist of being lazy and not knowing how to paint a car.
This Cybertruck and the F150 from the attack in New Orleans were both rented from Turo. Also the explosion was insanely large. I'm thinking this is likely not a coincidence and the two may even be related.
lmao if it was a terrorist attack, but cybertrucks explode so often nobody noticed.
Imagine if it was planned as a terrorist attack, but the cybertruck just did that on its own.

Is there a source for them being rented from the same place? Seems like the kind of detail that probably wouldn't be out there at the moment, even if true.
The same app. Which means very little. It's like trying to connect people because they both used Uber.

"same place"
Turo is the Airbnb of cars.
They both came from car factories. Invade Volvo now!

CNN mentions Turo - A ride rental service where you can put your personal vehicle up for daily rental.
I haven't seen it mentioned in relation to this incident though.

If they were used for both vehicles; it's probably just because it was a convenient way to get a vehicle. They probably have less hurdles than a typical rental service. I haven't actually used or really looked into that service though, so I may be wrong there.

CNN is reporting that the truck was carrying a large amount of fireworks, gasoline and camping fuel. These appear to have been intentionally ignited. The truck drove past the site of the explosion an hour before returning. The truck exploded shortly after stopping.

This is basically your life now for the coming 4 years America!
It's poetic, not so sure about renaissance.
Seen somewhere else: it's really impressive that Tesla designed a "truck" so bad that when one explodes you can't be sure whether it was a car bomb or just yet another design flaw.
The new dumpster fire.
Just a ol' fashioned bad omen.
