    Blue, red, brown, black, and orange. 4 colors and black. The 70s were a rough decade for fashion.

      But around the same time Sears had over 800 colors of carpet that nobody would think of using today.

      And most people didn’t know what an avocado tasted like. They just knew it as the "color of every appliance.

          I was hoping someone would remember the reference from a few hours before.

      Some of it falls flat but I like all the options available. There’s probably a greater variety of fabrics available as well.

      She is! But then my brain reminded me she’d be in her 60s now. And I wasn’t even born when this was taken.

        People are starting to not trust anything they see, even with valid sources. In a way it’s good, we were warned a few years ago it would get to this point. The problem is now everything is fake by default unless you can prove it, and most are just throwing “AI slop” without even looking close enough.

          Uncanny valley isn’t the same as calling it slop. It’s an indicator for slop but at the end of the day it’s a subjective thing. If you can’t see it, fine, neither do I. But it’s totally valid to feel it even tho you factually know it’s real and not AI.
