Crackheads? Looks like it was designed by methheads.
My first reaction was, damn, is that from that episode of Top Gear where they made the stupidest RVs imaginable? What janky nonsense is this, I wondered before reading the comments.
Hate it. It's so annoying. The stores in the area hate it because it pisses people off and they complain to the stores and them the stores are like we hate them as well but the cops put them there.
These things are so fucking dystopian.
They really are. I visit a location with one of these regularly and a pleasant loudspeaker says "Welcome to [shopping area], please report any disturbances" and I immediately feel like I'm in Half-Life, or another dystopian video game...
the aperture laboratories vibes, i get those when i visit old power plants for work, just by the looks
"Eat recycled food. Good for the environment and OK for you."
The mini game dictates you properly dispose of your excrement. Civil Enforcement is concerned.
It costs less than 10 dollars to disable them.
It also costs about negative 1200 to steal them.
It costs infinitely more to do nothing.
take off the whole pole, i think someone did it recently, it probably cost them more to reinstall it.
Excellent post title, sounds like the PPV event (that should be freely available to the people) of the year!
I'd put a twenty on the crackheads winning by TKO in the third round 😁
WARNING CITIZEN! THIS AREA IS UNDER SURVEILLANCE! YOUR FACE HAS BEEN SCANNED AND ADDED TO A DATABASE!
Not too far off from what these things actually scream
They don't say that last part, they just do it.
I feel safer around crackheads than around cops
is this the perfect example where men can finally understand why women chose the bear?
Tell crackheads that there's 50 pounds of copper and two catalytic converters in these things.
Lol 50? They would do it 2 lbs.
You can also get the same effect by telling a meth head who hasn't slept in 7 days "hey, I think that things watching you"
Or like one stick of ram
Forget telling crackheads there's copper, tell gamers there's ram modules on there they could solder to their GPU
There actually might be… brb
Those solar panels look pretty nice...
Come to think of it, yeah... These things will be real nice to have after the collapse.
A modestly sized, but complete and mobile off-grid solar system, just waiting for you to hitch it to your car and pull it away. Tear the cameras and lights off of it, then use the solar panels, batteries, and associated electrical equipment to power whatever small electrical loads you need.
They're probably just waiting for someone to do that. I think the crackhead approach is safer here.
"After the collapse" he says, with no idea what powers my posting >:)
For real. Why the fuck would you wait? This whole thing depends on us destroying this and anything like it.
Why the fuck would you wait?
Because this thing is recording video all around itself and I don't want any cops visiting my house.
There's a reason we can't identify most ICE agents. Replicate one tiny piece of that outfit, walk less than a mile and you're golden.
I thought it was led screens where big brother could give a "behave as a good citizen" - on repeat every day.
No, that screen is in your pocket.
They know.
Shit, even my ears perked up at that...
I for one think it's quite generous of the surveillance state to provide free off-grid solar systems for the taking
hey look! free solar panels and $500 worth of copper!
I sold my old car to a crackhead. He had way more chill than any kind of AI surveillance.
"If you can see this, you shouldn't be shopping here."
I do actively avoid places that have these to the extend that I reasonably can.
Specifically engineered to keep out "undesirables".
What the hell is that thing anyway
Solar powered, wireless, remote, battery-powered, GPS tracked, overly-designed mobile CCTV/loudspeaker/strobe light trailer. This one in particular is manufactured by a company called LVT, who are one of the major manufacturers of these. They can go about 5 days with no sunshine before the batteries are depleted.
I've only ever seen them in Walgreens, CVS, and McDonald's parking lots. Blinking away with the brightest blue LED all fucking night.
I think I've seen these in LA.
Always wondered whats the use case. If I see these in the parking lot, no deals inside are pulling me there enough to stop by.
I've only seen them in retail parking lots. Cameras. They can play audio.
Can they play Sandstorm?
That's da rudest thing I've seen in years
It would be hilarious if some crack heads stole and stripped it for copper
It wont be "crackheads" stripping for precious metals. The community will need whatever comes from that fucker
