The future was yesterday.

Cool pics of cool retro-ish stuff. Moved here form !spacetech because more and more of my stuff wasn't space stuff.

If I know an image was made with AI, I'll label it as AI. Beyond that, I'm not gonna spend time investigating how every image was created. If it looks interesting, I post it. Whether it came from a camera, Photoshop, an artist, or AI isn't something I take too seriously.

If you know how an image was made, feel free to say so. If you don't know, don't worry about it.

Rule 1: No serial downvoting. This includes downvoting multiple posts just because they involve AI. Let’s keep Lemmy positive. Automod on duty.

Rule 2: Be civil. Play nice. And If you don't like it here, just find a different community.

Rule 3: AI is fine. If it looks cool, it is cool, babe! Label if ya want. Or not. I don't care.

Rule 4: Don't just call content “slop,” or use similar insults, unless you also contribute content yourself.

Rule 5: Weird that I have to make this an actual rule, but here we go: No advocating violence or murder.

If you don't like these rules, I suggest you create you own community with your own rules. Lemmy can always use more content!

Ford Gyron, c. 1961 (lemmy.today)

The Ford Gyron debuted at the Detroit Motor Show in 1961 and is among one of many concept cars that Syd mead created.

It had two wheels, so it could be argued that it was more motorcycle than car, but its two passengers would sit side-by-side. When stationary, two legs would extend either side to hold it upright.

When moving, the Gyron used a gyroscope to maintain balance.
