Definitely one of the helmets of all time. This gives a very "designed in the 1970s" vibe. Lots of organic curves and untextured fiberglass/plastic. Not enough fins or ribs to be from the 80s, but too much white for the 60s.

At the time I'm reading this the title notes that this design is from 1985. Here's an article I came across with more info.

Honestly that's older than I was expecting. But the 80s does make sense, a lot closer to the 70s than the 2010s year I was expecting.

AI has ruined my brain. Instead of simply enjoying the wacky art, my mind just keeps checking if it's real or not.

New community idea: AI or Japan?

Amazing Idea!

That’s what they want you to believe.

I can dig it.

Does anyone else wish they had that couch in 2020?

[-] tostiman@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

What couch? Did you lose your mind?

[-] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Fine, loveseat. Whatever the official term is.

I guess it could be a love seat if you're extremely flexible and have excellent balance 🤷

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

I don’t think that means what you think it means.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It does and it doesn't. I know that there's a type of furniture called a loveseat, but I'm choosing to interpret the phrase otherwise for the sake of humor 😉

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Any seat can be a love seat if you try hard enough.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

My point exactly 😁

[-] orockwell@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Motorcycle, but yes absolutely.
