Urban walls, sidewalks, and even utility meters are the unlikely canvases behind this clever collection of genius street art. From an illusion of a zebra being striped to a sidewalk creature with a real rock for a head, these eight works turn... ๐Ÿ‘‡

Street art sticker of the character E.T. placed on a stone wall, cleverly aligned with a red metal fire hose fixture so that the two circular outlets resemble E.T.โ€™s large eyes. The setup transforms the fixture into the alienโ€™s head, while the drawn body shows his wrinkled skin, long arms, and glowing finger.

Who is "you guys"? At this point one can only assume you're trying to bulldoze through every logical fallacy and using AI to generate wrong answers about what a politician can do to stop a coup.

If I was trying to install myself as the lord of a fiefdom, they would if they still had their wits. You're one of those redcoat dipshits who needs means testing for internet access. There is no negotiating with bad actors, little buddy. Take a logical argumentation class.

This is the predictable outcome of a system that makes learning unappealing. If you weren't weak minded, you would have looked up what quorum is and why it's a requirement instead of being Ignorant White Guy Who Learns From Ignorant White Guy Podcasts

The stunt exists to stop fascism, monarchism, and other tyranny. But good on you for having zero reading comprehension yet still the audacity to pretend you understand legislative procedures designed to block authoritarian coups.
