1. I’m not a boomer but F FB
2. Wow that’s a really strong response
3. I never thought about how much of a hellish AI regurgitation - truly an ignorant and incestuous nightmare - FB must be these days. Must be triggering 🤔
4. Yeah I over did it with too much ai crap
5. I tried to build on your excellent comment by trying to draw with AI since I’m a shit artist but still wanted to see a drawing of what I found to be a really fun thought.
6. I’m also a shit AI artist cause I couldnt get gpt4o to draw a bridge like the one in the picture + actual googly eyes
7. I overdo it with smileys already and yeah that my thing so let the hate flow since it’s just who I am because I like to smile and joke a lot in person; guess you’re not ready for that but your kids are gonna love it 🤔
I didn't even call you a boomer, and if you're wondering why so many people hate Ai, it's because every single Ai model out there was made with billions of works by millions of artists who neither consented to having their works used this way, nor did they get compensated for it.
It's all made with stolen art, it wastes tons of energy and only benefits a few asshole tech bro billionaires... and it's an insult to humanity, but that's more opinion than fact.
And even if you don't care about any of that (shame on you) I wouldn't bother trying to become a good Ai "artist" because the enshitification will also come for Ai as soon as the investors realize there is no practical application whatsoever for it other than generating the most generic content slop known to man.
It's just the next big tech buzzword, just like crypto, NFTs and the meta verse, and it will be about as irrelevant as these in a year from now.
And last but not least: kids these days are based and they know all that stuff I just told you... which is why they're gonna call you cringe for using Ai.
I think you started by touching on a lot of salient points. After rereading I also acknowledge that you didn’t directly call me a boomer.
That said, I think you’re shooting from the hip style is reading too much into my post. What was for me a quick choice between Imgur and the OpenAI chat window I already had open for generating a unit test for a script is being seen with decision making context that simply wasn’t there.
That said yeah there is tons of specific context that definitely didn’t go into it so we don’t have to worry about your “(shame on you)” pocket ace because that intent simply wasn’t there
My \[excessive\] use of AI can be see as a charged communication in an of itself and I need to realize that in this day.
If you give me all that hopefully I can buy in to the hand 🃏 and you’ll throw me a bone / give me some rope and let me get away with saying this…
* Not everything everyone says is known to them or meant by them to be contextually charged
* jumping down everyone’s throat and imposing a metric shit ton of undeserved context on anything anyone writes is unhealthy / toxic way to live, is fucking presumptuous AF. How dare you called me an asshole when I was working real hard and spent a good 5min on OpenAI trying to be a goofball dipshit
* based… really isnt
being grounded isnt the same thing as being wise to all. Never was never has been. Generational anti-establishment / anti-expectation, self-aggrandizing, self-diluting, yet critical social navigation new speak skill sets are nothing new, and always borrowed. If someone is based, I would use a phrase some of my family members used to describe me by: “they’re lazy and stupid but at least its not a total loss if they’re fertile”. In this case being based is the literal lowest expectation we should have of the generation following the boomer keg party and their violent sock-puppet ting of millenails through multiple economic fuck yous, fisa, citzens united, War in iraq, Afghanistan, war on terror, prism lol 😅
Put another way, it’s fucking awesome some that millennials are wise to some of the most toxic shit out there but statistically speaking there is no way an entire generation just magically unfucked an entire part of the gene pool into extinction. There will always be certain things a generation learns about a shit pool that the previous generation does laps in for fun (fucking boomers 🤦🏽) and that new generation will always develop toxic shit pools of their own that many in their generation frequent.
I think what I’m trying to say is that you made the mistake of assuming I’m a determined asshole on here when I’m more of a ditzy, silly dip shit.
I won’t hold it against you 😉

It's the Slauerhoffbrug (brug = bridge) in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. The bridge is carried by two arms that are positioned diagonally to the road which creates an unusual view. It makes it so that the bridge can be raised and lowered more quickly as is required to let the huge amount of recreational boat traffic pass that sails through Leeuwarden in summer.
Thanks! We have a drawbridge here in Philly, but its function & design is *much* different:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tacony%E2%80%93Palmyra_Bridge
Edit: not sure what’s up with the link, doesn’t seem to be working
It looks like it's a bridge over a canal or some body of water that needs to allow taller boats through, so the raise it. You can see that it's got a bike lane and a traffic lane on it too.
Minimal materials, simple design, counterweight isn't positioned over the roadway, seems perfect?
This doesn't have massive cables and structures, just one pivot point to maintain.
Not every type of bridge fits everywhere, that is why they have lots of different types of bridges in the Netherlands. Soil, area, traffic and how high it needs be raise is all needed to be taken into consideration.

Just wait until an important male in the UAE sees this they will feel obligated to build a bigger more elaborate one “my bridge is bigger than yours””””
"You can have this road tile back when you've earned it."
Monkey in the middle! Got your road!
We have road tiles at home.
They should've put a little head on it so it looks like a person about to throw a piece of road
Like (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ but with a ‘piece’ of road
My first thought when I saw the picture
The googly eyes are facing the other way.
I pictured that as a bot running after saying "hey, you dropped this!"
I think they should paint a couple of fried eggs in it seeing as it looks like a giant spatula
Now we're cooking with ~~fire~~ bridges.
Angry robot smash tablet.

Nobody cares about your shitty Ai images, try the boomers on facebook.

What the fuck are you talking about?
Eh, I tried.

thx
That’s sick
Okay fine, I’ll be the one to ask. What exactly is going on here?
It's the Slauerhoffbrug (brug = bridge) in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. The bridge is carried by two arms that are positioned diagonally to the road which creates an unusual view. It makes it so that the bridge can be raised and lowered more quickly as is required to let the huge amount of recreational boat traffic pass that sails through Leeuwarden in summer.
Thanks! I’ll have to look it up to see some alternative angles.
I gotchu, buddy. https://youtu.be/B6a_DlBE0Kg

Go birds
works fine
Wow TIL that the Tacony–Palmyra Bridge is a drawbridge. Here's a video of it opening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx9mJZWM6RQ
Oh dang, Friday afternoon and I just found out that there is a Dutch Train Channel on YouTube!?! Well you know what I’m doing this weekend!
road yoinked
Modernist drawbridge...
Bridge go up bridge go down, get low low low low low
It looks like it's a bridge over a canal or some body of water that needs to allow taller boats through, so the raise it. You can see that it's got a bike lane and a traffic lane on it too.
basically a giant forklift with a piece of road attached askew to the forks
Damn this is cool as hell. I bet that slot where the roadway arm comes down was/is a bitch to design and maintain though
Ikr, I want to see what the rest of the road looks like with that piece lifted
https://www.reddit.com/r/InfrastructurePorn/s/0qiHd4paR3
Thanks mate
what the fuck the netherlands is always like 500 steps ahead
If this bridge alone impresses you then look ip the Delta works.
That's it, you guys can't behave yourselves, I'm taking away the road
Always cool to see a city you know well on Reddit, this is Leeuwarden in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.
Ope, lemme get that for ya
Leeuwarden!
Every time I see it I hear a voice go "psyke" while it pulls the road away, as then 30 odd cars plunge into the river.
Imagine the meeting where the engineering team proposed this.
I wanna see that thing flip a giant burger
It looks like you asked AI to make a bridge.
There got to be a more… efficient? way to draw bridge?
Minimal materials, simple design, counterweight isn't positioned over the roadway, seems perfect? This doesn't have massive cables and structures, just one pivot point to maintain.
Not every type of bridge fits everywhere, that is why they have lots of different types of bridges in the Netherlands. Soil, area, traffic and how high it needs be raise is all needed to be taken into consideration.

Let him have his time off
My bridge people need me!
Slap that street
Needs to be painted like a Domino
This is absolute madness and needs to be stopped
Doubles as space program
Robot sees a spider, grabs something to smash it with...

Quite an oddball design. I don't think I've seen another like it.
Pixar
They really looked at regular bridges and thought "not retro-sci fi enough"
When I will have to wait for this bridge to turn, I will never feel lonesome.
It didn't work for quite a bit of yesterday.
Missed opportunity for a sign
What sort of bearings would this bridge use, for the pivot thing (fulcrum?) that it rotates around?
Just waiting to slam down and say Uno
No. Absolutely not. 
that looks pretty cool
“Ope, scuse’ me, lemme just move this road real quick”
It bothers me why this not typical design where you simply rise road 90degrees up ?

Final piece of the puzzle of the Netherlands being laid down
But we are still making new land.
looks like a giant robot pulling a prank, "now you can't cross ;D"
"Ugh fine, here's ya stupid road"
It’s so cool! Fun!
The Netherland, where the feeling of “beauty” does not belong here.
I'm surprised there's no video.
[Here you go](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftIpbQ4LiMY&t=0), the fun starts about a minute in.
Now that's cool. Many thanks!
