God is teaching us that people with fake tits and rich assholes will rebuild next week after this is all over. See? Poor people, you need to learn from the example! Just get money from your dad's account and buy a new house in LA Jolla!

AccidentalRenaissance is for photos that look like Renaissance paintings.
This means that they look like Renaissance art in their composition, their coloring, their saturation, the angle of the scene, the types of settings, etc.
π Must be a photo. Not a meme, drawing, art, ai-generated or ai-enhanced image, screenshot, low-effort post, meta posts, video, or anything else but a photo.
π Must be SFW. No gore, porn, extreme violence, blood, corpses, or similarly disturbing content. Absolutely no pornography, even if it's "tasteful".
π Comments must be civil. No slurs of any kind or using words to insult, demean, harass, or abuse other individuals or groups.
π The Renaissance part (not the photo itself) must be accidental to the photograph. In other words, no photos of Renaissance fairs, people dressed in medieval/Renaissance clothes, etc.
π NO influencer selfies, professional photoshoots with watermarks, any type of OnlyFans-like content. We are not the place to work your side-hustle.
πΈ If you know who the photographer is, give them credit in the comment section. This is the only type of self-promotion we allow.
π©βπ¦― Alt-Text for vision-impaired users in the post body or in the comments is highly encouraged. Just pretend you are describing a photo to someone on the phone.

That looks absolutely epic
Silver linings.
This is better than their AI commercial.
Ehhh my big Mac is extra crispy and I only wanted it crispy!
"Would you like fires with that?"
"Would you like to supersize your fire for 50 cents extra?"
How much to take them back?
A gif that perfectly represents what it's like in America these days.
Needs someone driving by on their way to work
gif? Itβs a still image for me on Voyager.
Video with sound to me on voyager. Hit play?
Hm. Works on another device where Iβm not logged in to an account. Couldnβt make out any settings that differ that might cause it.
No play button or anything. Just a static image.
Weird.
On Boost it's a video with sound (really!).
Yeah it's a webm, uploaded through Boost.
On Summit as well. Video with sound.
Isn't it Burger King who is supposed to be the one with flame grilled burgers?
McDonald's had to step up their game somehow, but I think they went too far...
(Mc)~~Donald's~~ Dantes Inferno
I wasn't even supposed to be here today.
Holy shit, I mean I'd already known palm trees are like candles but they are like firefrackers in harsh wind!
This is not a timelapse?
There's audio, this is real-time.
You can also see the vehicles in the background.
Yes I know, this is just the sound my brain makes when it is pleading with my senses to tell me I'm not seeing what I'm seeing.
Is this wind intensity caused by the fire?
It can be, but I don't think it's the case here - we have Santa Anas with sustained 40mph winds and 100mph gusts in some areas, and that is without any fire. The wind is also caused by the air moving in from the inland deserts that is very dry (often <5% humidity) and hot as well due to compression heating.
There are reports that the Palisades Fire grew from 10 acres when it began to 200 acres in just 12 minutes, due to conditions like this.
That's between 8 and 10 on the Beaufort scale, holy mother of holy mothers!
that looks so badass tho
holy shit... is the wind always that strong there?
It's exceptionally strong right now due to the Santa Ana winds, and the convection forces from the fire.
Yes and no. Southern California has this thing called "Santa Ana Winds" that happen because there's mountains close to the ocean... but this is like the climate change version of that.
That's a hot McFlurry
Sorry, ice cream machine broke
They can now legally be fixed by third parties.
Someone from the Hell department came to fix it!
70mph wind gusts are barely shy of a CAT 1 hurricane. When we get those, we just shoulder shrug. But in Florida the wind is driving rain, not fucking FIRE.
Even worse, a hurricane doesn't build on itself. More fire, more heat, more fire, more wind, more fire, rinse and repeat.
Firestorm. Now imagine trying to run away from the fire and being sucked back in by the vortex.
This is not actually a firestorm - the wind is external to the fire, it's Santa Ana winds - hot dry desert air blowing in at high speed, any fire that starts in these conditions gets driven by these winds and spreads incredibly fast and is very hard to control.
The real question is,
Is wafflehouse open?
(Or maybe wafflehouse doesn't have any locations there because they know better...)
Edit: looks like the furthest west Waffle House in the contiguous "lower 48" states is in Phoenix, Arizona.
Nope, none in California.
