I feel like this is Taiwan. The huge amount of motorcycles, the vibes the buildings give off, the green doorplates… I also found a few articles from Taiwanese websites when I reverse-image-searched this. One of those articles also mentioned that somebody shared this image on a Taiwanese Facebook (eww) forum.
I though it was Vientiane for a second. It isn’t : they don’t have tall buildings there.
Little story about Vientiane and cats: there’s a old lady that feeds the street cats twice a day, at 8 am and 5 pm. Like clockwork, about 20 cats show up 15 min before those times and just wait for her. It looks a lot like the picture, only with a lot more cats. Moral of the story: cats can precisely tell the time.
Mine used to take half an hour removed about my lazyness to feed them, but I was on time, not them. Got fed up (pun intended) and bought a couple of automated feeders. Not my problem anymore. Weird fact: instead of removed and yelling to the auto-feeder, they wait silently in front of it for the very same amount of time or more.
Well it makes sense, people like to share cat pix with kids. No swearsies. Of course, cats swear and curse all the time, but kids just think it’s cute maows.
I’d bet money it’s scitsophrenia, so no this person has no idea how crazy they look. They’re just doing their part to fight back against whatever the hell they think is happening.
yeah it’s usually in some basement or something instead, that’s why i said you find it after they’re caught.
although it would be really funny if this guy got on the news for doing something bad and his neighbor would give an interview like “wow, we had no idea…”
I went to a weird conference about 10 years ago and it was very much about data retrieval and long term storage of digital media. I'd say that the speaker was 80% dead on and 20% full of shit. One thing he was very clear about: he lost his own wedding photos due to his own overconfidence in digital storage technology and his wife is still deeply pissed about it.
I still have my wedding photos on CD rom somewhere, so I'm sure they're safe. /s
In related news, my parents are downsizing and my mom just asked me if I wanted my great-grandparents' wedding certificate. It's in great condition.
Copy those photos now. 20 years ago I was obsessed with burning DVD’s to last a long time. I researched the best quality media that was rated for 100 years (Verbatim AZZO). I used diagnostic tools from a specialized cd burning forum that showed the pi/pio errors so you knew if you had made a quality burned DVD. (Even though burners were rated 2x-16x, each burner had a sweet spot of minimal errors for a particular media. In my case it was 4x.)
Last year my niece said the wedding photo DVD I gave her 15 years ago was unreadable. I checked my extra copies that had been kept in the basement in black dvd storage containers and they were bad too. Fortunately I had backups on hard drives that I migrate every few years from server to server.
Unpowered USB or SSD’s that haven’t been refreshed are only good for 10 years too.
Every year I pick out my favorite pictures of the year and print a physical photo album.
