What a dumbass comment. Why not charge $50 per 15 mins?

Edit: Sorry $49.99, obviously

[-] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

No charge $27.50 but add a $22.50 fine if they are paying with euro instead of dollars.

[-] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 hours ago

That would still be less profitable than the insane amount they charge just to stand under the thing. I was just there and it was like more than $30 per person just to stand under it (way more for the elevator ride up!)

[-] ABasilPlant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Isn't it free to stand under it? Going up costs money, yes.

I was there last year, and I only paid for an éclair and a coffee at one of the cafés / restaurants underneath the tower.

Nope, they’ve fenced off the base area and most of the gardens.

What if we kissed under the Porsche Cayenne? 👉👈

My number one issue with all sights is that there is not enough parking. Big Ben? Where do I park? Pyramids? Parking. Statue of liberty? Come in parking! The first and usually only thing I think about is parking. If I can't park my car and walk less than 100m to the thing I want to see, what's the point?

/s because some people still won't see the sarcasm of this or the post. A lot of people do think that way

Stories from the USA. My mom said that when she was a little girl my grandparents used to take the kids on road trips and they would do this thing where when they got to the destination they wouldn't leave the car. Like, they would drive hours to see the monument (or whatever) and when they got there they would roll down the windows, slowly pass by the object going, "wow! Look there it is!", then they would roll up the window and drive away. This happened multiple times.

It's a fucking mystery to us. Didn't want to pay for a ticket? Savage, unmedicated ADHD? Just fucking with your children? All are totally plausible. She didn't realize it was weird until later in life.

I'm gonna circle the walmart parking lot for 15 minutes looking for the closest spot to park to save 30 seconds of walking.

[-] yuri@pawb.social 7 points 11 hours ago

like a decade ago my local walmart started closing one set of doors at ~10pm, and TO THIS DAY there is ALWAYS parking available in front of those doors. it doesn’t matter if you show up at noon, fuckers still avoid that entrance like they’re about to spend 10 hours in walmart. i’ll never understand the human mind.

[-] 4am@lemmy.zip 1 points 7 hours ago

Hey cmon they stopped letting me take the mart cart into the parking lot after I left one in the rain last time and I don’t wanna walk with my groceries in a WAGON what am I, that Greek guy with the rock? Sissy fist?

Where's Robert Moses when you need him to build an expressway to the future parking garage on Liberty Island 😫

A brutal wake up call for me was finding that the shit I'd said or heard from others in sarcasm is unironically some folks' belief. They don't realise how much everyone around them suffers thanks to their actual belief in misogyny/misandry/fascism being necessary, climate change being a myth, surveillance being security, one's existence being sinful, education being bad etc.

[-] bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 hours ago

Go to midwest america, you can't have sarcastic comments there because it IS their backwards ass yall queda beliefs.

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 39 points 12 hours ago

Fucking AI slop. Hate this shit.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 12 hours ago

You're right, they should have rented the Eiffel Tower and built a temporary car storage facility to take this photograph.

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 31 points 11 hours ago

Back in my day we’d use gimp or photoshop to do clever editing by hand.

[-] NeatNit@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 11 hours ago

Depriving honest work from all the people who would be involved in creating a scene with props and practical effects?

[-] tanisnikana@lemmy.world 10 points 11 hours ago

Folks still do that.

I mean, the moon landing would have been fake, were it not for Stanley Kubrick demanding to shoot on-scene and in-camera.

[-] s@piefed.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Straw man fallacy. AI media is sensorially gross. The other media don’t necessarily look gross, but if they do look gross then it’s either because the artist intended for it to look gross or because capitalism curtailed the artist’s ability to achieve their vision.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 17 points 11 hours ago

Satire, 100%

If it's not - don't tell me, I'm clinging to sanity by a thread already

[-] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 hour ago

His name is “chase passive income” it’s def satire
