Like a pediatrician rounding on cystic fibrosis children in the hospital and smoking at their bedside. That's what the early 1980s were like. (lemmy.world)

I remember a beloved fish-and-chips restaurant in the area where I grew up that had, in addition to fun cartoons of a clam introducing various dishes, smoke stains all along the edge of the ceiling. It was that bad... funny to think that it was soon after smoking was banned that the place closed down--maybe it never actually tasted good but nobody could tell??

I had a family friend who smoked so much the walls oozed yellow. I could not bear to go over there even though I adored her.

Man AI generated video is getting so cool. Obviously this video has some big issues with it, but it brings life to a 1960s postcard. Wow

I even love the issues, honestly. Is the bed coming to life? Wait, is that a hand under the bed? And I think my man's leg is a radiator now, but I'm more concerned about how comfortable he is with that hand in his pants. Man, this stuff is a fever dream wonderland. I really do love it.

Honestly I see a future where weird AI videos get their own complete genre. That hand coming out from under the bed was pretty cool.
