Ruined? Those auctioneer will spin some artsy story and it will be a million pound art. It's money laundering after all.

The difference between art and graffiti is about 100 years.

Story is wrong, it was his last day.

[–] [email protected] 78 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

You're not wrong.

The security guard has since been fired and the police have opened a criminal investigation.

  1. I knew I'd read this before.

I think, you found a bug in the Lemmy webpage. 🙃

In voyager it just looks cut off

So, what's happening is that it interprets a number at the start of a line, followed by a dot, to be an enumeration:

  1. One
  2. Two
  3. Three

And then it indents that text to a certain fixed width, which is why a very long number sticks out to the left.

Why your comment didn't work, is for two reasons:

  1. It stops interpreting a number as an enumeration when you go beyond 9 digits. That's why your first and last example didn't work.
  2. It automatically 'fixes' the enumeration, if the numbers aren't successors. I actually wrote "123456789." at the start of this line, but it changes it to a "2.". That's why the "2334." and "23145524." you wrote got changed to a "124." and "125.", which made them too short to really look broken.

That was his day on the job.

Of all of his days on the job, this was all of them

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 weeks ago

I just wish it was the original artist who got a job as a security guard just for this

A conservationist should be able to remove the ink. I doubt it’s “ruined”.

Edit: looked it up, apparently restoration cost about $5k. Not ruined, but definitely a costly little stunt.

Article where the guard explains a bit

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 weeks ago

He explains that some teenage girls handed him a pen and said draw eyes on it. And he was like, okay sure I guess.

In this context a security guard.

"ruined" in the eyes of the ones. "Upgraded" in the eyes of others.

Taste in art is highly individual as can be seen here again.

“eyesed” in the eyes of the literal

He may have added value.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago

Making art with art 👌

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago

They should promote him, its much better now.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Should have used googly eyes

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 weeks ago

It was his first day, he only had the pen in his pocket.

And what have we learned, kids?

Always carry a pocketful of googly eyes!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 weeks ago

I think it makes it better.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 weeks ago

They misspelled improved

Sweet, the Russian army gets more meat for it's grinder. You would think Russian serfs would be more careful about breaking the law during these mass sacrifice times.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

He was actually a veteran with significant injuries, so he's already been through the grinder

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

You should use Linux.

Missed his calling, should have worked in a corrections facility.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 weeks ago

Has he been arrested like those people with the harmless orange powder?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 weeks ago

Both versions suck.
