Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Hate to break it to you but car advertisement has not consisted of real images for i guess at least 15 years.
Its all 3d rendered, same for smartphone, laptops and other tech, its getting rare for ads to use real pictures.
A car is machined to get the exact same look every time one rolls from the factury though and the same counts for consumer electronics.. food grown and prepared by human hands on the other hand wil rarely Be identical.
Is the image of the car the same one that I can buy?
Its an image of a 3d render made by an artist based on the blueprints of the car you can buy
Same as the hamburger ad is a photo made by an artist based on the recipe of the burger your buying.
A recept just isn’t as exact as blueprints, some car ads are already finalized and tested on reactions before the car is even green lit to go in production.
I don’t like it either, ive been disappointed about fast food appearance plenty but till we get a some very narrow scientific standards of what food is supposed to be like (every single ingredient gets compared to a specific reference color and size or is deemed unfit) I dont see us able to fix it.
The car industry is one of the most advanced hi tech examples of setting engineered standards for mass produced products with identical performance. Its the exact other side of the spectrum as the food industry. Which is the hardest industry to do this often relying on local food production. Different size potato, different size fries.
‘Recipe’ is the spelling you’re looking for.
Lemmy seems to have an issue where editing a post doesn’t always get saved, i am very chaotic typing my thoughts on a phone so i often have to edit multiple times* before all the structure and spelling is fixed.
English is my third language though and autocorrect is horrible if you speak more then a single language.
Edit: This comment included and I wouldn’t count on it being error free now.
Your 3 languages put my 1 to shame.
