Here's the original image in not burnt out low res meme quality:

And the post with a comic somebody made of it

L0stvegas is a disabled artist who paints some really cool surreal art and often has their work reposted without credit, so check 'em out!

They also have a fascinating story of the local door to door meat salesman who regularly goes around their neighborhood.

Re: the meat van story

For years there was a guy who delivered mid grade meats from something that looked like an ice cream truck to our town when I was growing up in the 80s. I think it was Swanson's but I'm not positive about that because we were far too poor to buy delivery meat. It was a legitimate business, though. One day he stopped delivering. A few months later he was back to delivering except he was no longer in the ice cream looking truck and the meat was no longer in branded packages. He was driving an unbranded white delivery van and it obviously became his home business.

He would deliver for a few months, disappear, then start again. That lasted until the mid 00's when my parents moved to a different small shitty town nearby. He could still be doing it for all I know.

I think it's insane that there's more than one dude riding around delivering meat unaffiliated with any business.

There's a much less disturbing thing like that here- "the peach truck." Every summer it drives around town selling peaches out of the back for a decent price if you buy a bunch of them. People on Facebook report where it is all day when it's around.

We've got the tamale guy around where I live now. He's such a big deal that during hurricane Harvey my buddy found him at Buc-ees between here and Dallas, put up a public Facebook post about it, and ended up with his most liked and shared post ever. It was a blow to his self esteem because he couldn't get nearly so many likes about his band playing a benefit after Harvey.

We had a guy like that with a push cart when I lived in L.A.! Just pushed his cart down the road yelling, "tamales!" That was awesome.

Honestly, if they hadn't posted some of the Yelp reviews, I would think this was some kind of weird fever dream of an urban legend.

The fact that they've also now seen a second group of people doing this in their neighborhood and that the first is apparently banned from operating in at least one state makes it all the crazier.

God, this is brilliant. I wish I could upvote twice.

Although, the whole thing about not crediting the artist kinda sucks.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It does, but it's also typical.

Don't you hate it when that happens?

I mean, what are the SCP recommendations??

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Well, if I had to guess, that third one is safe for us to look at through a screenshot.

If we ever come across that specific captcha we need to [redacted]

Ugh. It feels like something is groping around my skull.

someone hasn't played silent hill 2

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Bruh I lived and breathed silent hill

[-] noxy@yiffit.net 1 points 1 month ago

oh I only played 2 (and 2 remake)

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 month ago

If you like this kind of stuff, play Pacific Drive! Especially if you have a Dualsense controller—it works on PC!

[-] Scribbd@feddit.nl 3 points 1 month ago

What makes the dual sense special in Pacific Drive?

I got the game and played through steam deck with a pc render farm.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago

The adaptive triggers and fantastic special haptics reeeaally rock in some games—Pacific Drive and Returnal are the two that I’ve played that had my experience enhanced the most by them. The triggers rumble and resist your press lightly. Driving, you feel the bumps of the road in different places of your controller, and the brake feels like a real car brake feels.

[-] Scribbd@feddit.nl 2 points 1 month ago

I think I need to hook my pc up to a monitor to experience that. But I will definitely try!

Thanks for the explanation.

[-] Psythik@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I would but I am so sick and tired of the gather/craft/survive genre. This game feels like work, and I already have a job.

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

I wouldn’t recommend you get this game then, it sounds like it’s not for you!

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

But I like this kind of stuff... 😭

(edit: just not that kind of game!)

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

I could actually go for some countless centuries locked in an alternate realm. I might finally get some sleep.

So you're saying they're even worse than Cybertrucks?
