Bombed the place so hard they killed all the color.

[-] arin@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Even the water

[-] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

The water was Hamas

[-] Gammelfisch@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago

The color disappeared in 1945 Germany too. There is plenty of debris in the streets.

@Gammelfisch
These people are either assholes or total idiots.

It wouldn't surprise me if they are both.

They think 23 months of war, 100s thousands of bombs spread blowers and leaves pretty shiny buildings behind

Is this like one of those weight loss before/after? Like why is there no color?

[-] slappyfuck@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

What would that have to do with weight loss? It seems to me that it’s all rubble, hence the color.

Nah look at the sand on the top of the image. There are no buildings there, so why is it vividly colored in the top image and has zero colors in the bottom image? Someone has turned up the saturation on the top image to 11 and 0 on the bottom image.

Like what is happening in Gaza is terrible, but stuff like this just gives the other side something to shoot at. And I feel the image would hit harder if it were a fair comparison, so the same settings for both. The beach still being beach colored and the streets being gray with rubble would hit hard.

The reason he mentioned weight-loss is because it's a trope that people showing before and after pictures of weight-loss often use techniques like this to show a more pronounced (or even any) effect. In the before they have bad posture, use an unflattering angle and reduce the colors to make them look worse. In the after picture they have perfect posture (often even holding in a breath and clenching muscles), use a good angle and crank up the saturation a bit.

Could it not just be that everything in the area is now covered in a layer of grey dust from all the destroyed concrete buildings?

If you compare to some on the ground photos the predominant colour seems to be a dull grey.

The natural soil/sand is reddish brown, concrete dust and explosive residue is gray.

This might surprise you but carpetbombing an entire city tends to destroy most of the colourful materials and cover what's left in gray dust

@Eheran

are you stupid, or just being an asshole?

[-] Eheran@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Perhaps a mirror would help you here?

[-] redchert@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Btw this was at the beginning of the year

[-] ReversalHatchery@beehaw.org 0 points 3 months ago

I'm sure there is major destruction, but all I can see on the after image is a heavy color filter that makes it seem like dusty, and harder to look at details

[-] Fidel_Cashflow@lemmy.ml 13 points 3 months ago

i imagine it's from all the concrete dust from every building in the area being obliterated
