      i remember, the food court at our local mart had a lovely mural of a painted garden, it was really cute

      they’ve since then removed it to put a generic wood texture wallpaper and 3 TVs that blast right-wing propaganda and ads all day

          I miss gaudy old corporate art. So much better than sterile new corporate art.

        I’m mixed on it. For one, no reasonable person thinks a whole ass fish, lobster, carrots, etc. belong on what I assume is a pizza. On the other hand, he’s lifting up a slice of the pizza and it seems coherent, with the slice missing below in the proper place and size with no artifacts.

        It’s like what would happen if AI gave a prompt to a human artist.

            The center looks like soup, but there’s definitely a chunk being removed, which doesn’t make sense for soup. Maybe a different kind of pie than pizza, but idk.

          Have you never had a garbage can pizza before? There was a place on the north side of Chicago, where if you wandered in shortly before closing, you could get a garbage can pizza, where they throw all the ingredients they’re going to be tossing out at the end of the night onto your pizza. They only made it for regular customers, but it was a good deal since they charged regular price, but it was loaded with so much stuff.

                That actually sounds good. I only hope it didn’t have snails, cherries, garlic, carrots and lobster randomly all over

                  It was good, and while it didn’t have snails, cherries, carrots or lobster, it did have some garlic usually, and sometimes cherry tomatoes, and sometimes shrimp. But, most importantly, since i was working only part time then, it was a great deal and fed me for a couple of days.

        It was quickly adopted as a corpo art style and overused to death.
