This happened one day in the window well outside my office. I got banned from r/pics for posting it.

I guess some people thought it was AI, but just a cool moment in my basement window well.

Edit: taken with my iPhone several years ago since that’s all I had with me when it happened so quickly.

Hey, I liked your resignation letters.

I could see that a lot of time and love went into the reddit, and it's a site I still miss dearly due to how it shaped me during my formative young adult years. That wouldn't have been possible without the diligent and balanced mod action you guys enacted all those years, so thank you for your service.

Glad to see you here!

Watch the steps, get a drink, have a good time now, welcome to paradise, paradise, paradise...

Edit:

Oh wow. I must be having a brain fart.

I thought I just now read on the Lemmy front page about how the Accidental Renaissance mods have moved to Lemmy, it even had imgur posts of the resignation letters. But when I look at those letters, they are dated to 2 years ago.... and this communitiy has been running just as long...

I think I'm lost in time? Really sorry! Deleted my stupid post

AltA shrouded figure offers a young flustered owl to an elder individual standing above it, which looks away and communicates disapproval with its body.

Accidental Renaissance

7634 readers

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.
