Dystopian as fuck

[-] NuXCOM_90Percent@lemmy.zip 18 points 10 months ago

No. That is just wartime PPE

Now, when that becomes standard attire for cybertruck owners? THAT is when we enter a dystopia.

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 9 points 10 months ago

It's a very dystopian aesthetic, though. The right mixture of 'crude' and 'industrial'.

[-] Wodge@lemmy.world 7 points 10 months ago

The design is very human.

Pretty much most WW1 combat gear tho.

[-] PugJesus@kbin.social 13 points 10 months ago

Very dieselpunk. WW1 was wild.

[-] kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

WW1 was supposed to be The Last War, shame they made it a sequel

[-] Lepsea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

The Great War wasn't so great after all

This looks like a zdzislaw beksinski painting

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Any evidence that they worked?

[-] Bondrewd@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

A metal mask will probably be better than no metal mask. Almost surely for the eyes.
