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.

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?

Seems about the right IQ level for it.

Someone with bad decision making skills? Wanted to go out into the desert and light shit on fire maybe?

[-] MisterFrog@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago

Why the fuck would doors lock automatically upon catching fire? That seems insane

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social -4 points 4 weeks ago

You're right, but it also doesn't make it bad.

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 15 points 4 weeks ago

I don’t agree with people buying cyber trucks but I don’t think they should die for it. WTF

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 12 points 4 weeks ago

When they park in front of a Trump property I feel free to assume I know what their opinions on the incoming death camps will be.

So long, loser, collect your Darwin on the way out.

Definitely won't be missed

It’s so weird that they’re 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.
[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 16 points 4 weeks ago

it is not a terrorist attack because no rich people were hurt, obviously

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 9 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

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.

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 27 points 4 weeks ago

Wellp! Time for another recall!

[-] magic_lobster_party@fedia.io 29 points 4 weeks ago

Can’t recall vehicles if all have exploded

[-] latenightnoir@lemmy.world 5 points 4 weeks ago

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!

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.

👉 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.

👉 Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".

👉 Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.

👉 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.

👉 NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.

📸 If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.

👩‍🦯 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.
