This reminds me of Kim Jung Un looking at things. Authoritarians love looking at shit for photos like they somehow were the ones that actually made it.

Is Adolf’s pal Henry Ford in that crowd?

Wikipedia: Speaking in 1931 to a Detroit News reporter, Hitler said "I regard Henry Ford as my inspiration," explaining his reason for keeping a life-size portrait of Ford behind his desk.

What's this vehicle? Looks like an e-bike, if I didn't knew better

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It's bicycle with a helping engine, but it's not electric.

The thing that looks like a battery is the fuel tank. The engine is the metal attachment left and below of the center of the back wheel.

Random fact: The first motorized vehicle to drive across the USA was a bicycle. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_A._Wyman

It is probably a 60ccm "Saxonette" engine. Here is an article (both in German) with some bikes from that era equipped with that engine.

It’s half out of frame? Have you not developed object permanence?

Could just be a fan of artist René Magritte

More like I was tired and probably a bit drunk and I wrote something stupid on Lemmy. Kill me. I've never heard of object permanence before but I think I understood it well enough at an early age when I drew dinosaurs and their heads continued off page because I didn't like drawing them.
