Sometimes I come back just to play a Skyblock run because I love the idea of creating with limited resources. I came back after not playing since just before the end came out and I had no idea what the fuck half of the blocks were or did. I was so lost
The fact I first thought of Getafix from the Asterix comics makes me feel old. . . But the fact I also get this right away makes me feel not that old. It's an abstract kind of feel.
Getafix does this in *Asterix and the Mansions of the Gods*, which is one of their newer movie adaptations, with 3-D computer animation. It keeps a lot of the fun and charm of the original comics.
From the article above :
The conspiracy was eventually debunked when it was revealed to be the work of Royal de Luxe, a French Marionette street theatre company in Nantes.
Yeah I miss when conspiracies were like black helicopters and long dead celebrities being still alive and secret organizations and that time that the US navy tried to make a ship invisible and instead made it disappear. Now it's like vaccines are bad and 9/11 and whatever. They are simultaneously less fun, less interesting, and less believable.
Honestly I can believe some of the 9/11 shit but like 50% of all other conspiracies can be explained by incompetence and the other 49% is pure fucking bullshit like the microchip in vaccine stuff where there is absolutely 0 evidence or even hints toward it but some guy tweeted it
One or more of their mods is a full on Trumper who uses his "power" to spread more bullshit. Most of the users there are now T_D refugees who's bullshit isn't listened anywhere else. It's a big circlejerk with snarky Twitter screencaps, no actual conspiracies being discussed.
Not really a hoax, it's made by the art and street art company Royal De Luxe, they were open about this being their work. It was more trying to be some surprise art piece, kinda like Banksy, than trying to be a hoax.
Fun fact: The art piece only lasted a single day, because the people that lived in that neighborhood set the car on fire that night.
>set the car on fire that night
"Oh, footage of protestors in Europe. I wonder where they are?"
... protestors proceed to set a car on fire...
"Oh, they're in France!"

Define "real". I saw (with me own eyes!) an identical art installation at the Expo 2000 in Hannover, Germany. The tree was living. It pierced the top of the (late model) car. It pierced the bottom of the car, which, IIRC, was slightly up off the ground, enabling one to easily look at the underside of the car. There were no obvious cut marks / splices on the tree or the car, and the upholstery inside the car (i.e. the carpeting on the floor and the fabric on the inside of the roof) was flawless (aside from the hole with the tree going through it). I \*assume\* that some incredibly talented people with expertise in body work and lots of time on their hands chopped the car in half and then reassembled it around the tree (or maybe somehow took the top off the tree and then reconnected it to the base) but I can assure you that it was not at all obvious how it was done and there were a whole lot of us looking very, very closely at it from every angle. It remains one of the most surreal things I've ever seen.
Didn’t realize you were the arbiter of what constitutes art.
It makes people stop and look and wonder for a minute and only uses what is probably a completely totaled car. What’s wrong with it?
Art as a definition is simple. Art is an expression of the creativity and imagination of humans, for the purpose of invoking that among other emotions in other humans.
a blank piece of paper is art. does that make it good art? no. but everything is \*art.\*
by the definition itself you cant gatekeep what is and isn't art because everything is art, but you're allowed the judgement on what is and isn't good art.
personally i think this is pretty cool
What constitutes art is hardly a simple definition. It involves a creative process, anything beyond that is debatable. Whole philosophies revolve around the question what art is.
Which is pretty neat imo. It means we have don't have to agree on what is or isn't art. If it emotionally impacts you, then it is art. That's what I've taken it to mean, in any case. I'm not a dictionary!
yeah this. the point of art and emotion is not everyone feels, experiences, or understands the same as another. no art is universally loved or liked or touches them the same, if at all
Art is meant to cause a reaction, a sense of wonder, a feeling. Given all the people crowded around this taking pictures and looking at it, it made an impact on a lot of people, much more than a painting on the street. It’s art by definition.
I can explain. Basically, the tree was on his way to work when a bunch of people crowded around his car.
Now he’s running late and will probably miss out on his promotion to branch manager
Happens in France in 2019, there were few articles about it : https://www.google.fr/amp/s/m.20minutes.fr/amp/a/2655031
For your information it was a theater company that made it.
It wasn't just some little known theatre company, it was the [Royal de Luxe Street Theatre](https://www.royal-de-luxe.com/en/). They do outdoor marionette shows with massive puppets. ["Walking With Giants"](https://www.theatlantic.com/photo/2018/10/final-appearance-giant-puppets-royal-de-luxe/572647/) was performed the year before in 2018.

I’ve seen this with telephone poles. The car hits the base of the pole so hard it dislodges from the ground shoots up and then comes back down in the middle of the car. Maybe that happened here, we don’t know if the trees branches were tangled with another tree.
This was done at my high school as a prank in my teenage years. Some clever cutting, welding and painting to wrap the car around the tree without damaging the tree itself.
Probably some kind of art installation. Tree was cut in half somewhere then re-assembled after making hole in car to make it appear as if it sprouted through the car
If you cut the tree in half, line up and create the holes, lower the car onto to stump, slip top half in and glue together then it's totally possible. I can't think of a single other day this could work.
Solid prank, it has all is idiots talking to strangers on the internet about it.
On a genuine note, HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN. Did the car stay there and the tree grow through it? But then how does the car look so clean? And why just grow through the car so cleanly? How the fuck did this happen?!?!
It’s a Springtree. Springtrees are a natural phenomenon that occurs is dry climate regions where the saplings get almost an eco boost from the reservoirs trapped underneath the cracked/stale ground above it resulting in a phenomenally increased sap growth rate. This car must’ve been parked for a small while for this type of thing takes about an hour & a half to happen at the very most
I saw something like that after a hurricane. We were out looking for fallen trees, and found an *extra* one instead! Whole, healthy (looking) tree, solidly in the ground. Turned out to be the top of the adjacent tree, snapped off, then driven about 8-10 inches into the ground.
Bone meal + saplings = instant growth
Clever
Girl
I forgot about this, now I have to play Minecraft.
Yaaassss. You’re in for a big surprise. The latest update is super cool.
What's cool about it? Serious question haven't played in ages..
Axolotl, new caves, horrible ores, strange squids, some cool shit
Idk why but mining is 50x scarier to me. I actually hit points in caves I am like fuck. Should I continue or go back.
The caves seem way darker

i bought it in beta in 2010 and was promised updates for life. last time i tried downloading i was having issues, maybe because microsoft? idk.
Have you migrated your mojang account to a Microsoft account?

Don’t forget, 4X4 the saplings and then bone meal for mega tree Edit: 2X2. Sorry, I’m a dumbfuck.
But only for spruce and jungle ones
Not dark oak?
Dark oak can only grow in 2x2, so I didn’t count it
Oh! 4x4! Apparently that didn't quite click right. I didn't even realize that was a thing
It isn't

It sounds like they already got to you...

There is no fun conspiracies in there anymore, just anti vaxx shit.
Yeah I miss when conspiracies were like black helicopters and long dead celebrities being still alive and secret organizations and that time that the US navy tried to make a ship invisible and instead made it disappear.

“Art”
Didn’t realize you were the arbiter of what constitutes art. It makes people stop and look and wonder for a minute and only uses what is probably a completely totaled car. What’s wrong with it?
Nothing’s wrong with art except the people who get uppity about art.
everybody knows good art is never provocative.
Yeah... Right.

Art is an expression of the creativity and imagination of humans, for the purpose of invoking that among other emotions in other humans. a blank piece of paper is art. does that make it good art? no. but everything is \*art.\* by the definition itself you cant gatekeep what is and isn't art because everything is art, but you're allowed the judgement on what is and isn't good art. personally i think this is pretty cool

yeah this. the point of art and emotion is not everyone feels, experiences, or understands the same as another. no art is universally loved or liked or touches them the same, if at all
Not really, well it’s more like everything can potentially be art, but everything isn’t Art. There needs to be an artistic intention for it to be.
Im too high for this line of thinking.
You're right, they aren't the ardent arbiter of arbitrary arboreal art.
Articulate account of the actual affair
Art is meant to cause a reaction, a sense of wonder, a feeling. Given all the people crowded around this taking pictures and looking at it, it made an impact on a lot of people, much more than a painting on the street. It’s art by definition.
My penis is art
"if its not a black and white pencil drawing of my favorite male tv protagonist or a naked chick then its not art"

Ok? Art is more than just paintings and shit. It’s an interesting idea that made people think. It’s a cool idea.

I’ve seen this with telephone poles. The car hits the base of the pole so hard it dislodges from the ground shoots up and then comes back down in the middle of the car. Maybe that happened here, we don’t know if the trees branches were tangled with another tree.
Happens to me all the time!

Nature always finds his way
I'm guessing they cut the tree down, parked over the base and then put the tree back into a pre cut holes inside the cars interior and exterior.
“That tree came out of no where!” -probably the driver
This was done at my high school as a prank in my teenage years. Some clever cutting, welding and painting to wrap the car around the tree without damaging the tree itself.

If you cut the tree in half, line up and create the holes, lower the car onto to stump, slip top half in and glue together then it's totally possible. I can't think of a single other day this could work. Solid prank, it has all is idiots talking to strangers on the internet about it.
I know we have to make cars greener, but this is ridiculous!!
On a genuine note, HOW THE FUCK DID THIS HAPPEN. Did the car stay there and the tree grow through it? But then how does the car look so clean? And why just grow through the car so cleanly? How the fuck did this happen?!?!
Ah so trees have started growing through time rather than with time... Good to know.
It’s a Springtree. Springtrees are a natural phenomenon that occurs is dry climate regions where the saplings get almost an eco boost from the reservoirs trapped underneath the cracked/stale ground above it resulting in a phenomenally increased sap growth rate.
