Imagine for a second that this wasn't a whole stack of box tube that fell at once, but rather some sicko is on top of the scaffolding just spearing his boss's car from 6+ stories up feeling like rods from god.

I am the driver of my car

Steel is my body and petrol is my blood

I have conquered over a thousand miles

Unknown to Death,

Nor known to Life.

Have withstood many near-misses to cross four lanes at once

Yet, this soul will still drive like shit

So as I pray, Unlimited Vehicle Works.

the blue in the background is netting covering a scaffold so likely a construction site. that's a bunch of similar lengths and sizes of what looks like HSS (hollow structural steel).

probably a poorly rigged load fell from a tower crane and decided to fuck this one car in particular.

that being said I'm pretty baked and am starting to think it could be ai

HSSTTP (hollow structural steel tube transfer protocol) is a resource and infrastructure that is owned by the public, of which I am a member. It's just as much mine as it is yours.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 11 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Technically tubes are specifically cylindrical
