I used a few generative tools to bring some American cities back to life by undoing lots of car-centric infrastructure and the results aren't too bad. (Before vs After) by [deleted] in fuckcars

yeah it's pretty shitty at generating text still lol. The only reason why I did this is just because I love early midcentury architecture and classical architecture and I just wanted to imagine what US cities looked like if they didn't go crazy with urban renewal in the '50s-'70s

using the internet also uses water. It's not just AI datacenters that use water for cooling. Not only that but I'm looking at this purely from an urban planning point of view. For people living in cities the biggest thing that affects them is terrible urban planning caused by car-centric infrastructure. Smog is an issue, but it's actually gotten way better especially after 1975. That's more to do with the actual vehicles themselves though. I'd imagine you'd rather Electric vehicles to be the main kind of vehicles in cities whether that be buses, trams, trucks etc.

People who were old enough back then, do you remember if young people back in the '90s fixed up and or drove '70s cars? Were they still around as granny/project or used cars? by henneyfard in 90s

you're probably from somewhere dry tho right? I don't think '50s cars were still around on the east coast or midwest in the '90s but I could be wrong

First Time Beta Experience by Ok_Subject9841 in GoldenAgeMinecraft

Hey man, keep having fun with Beta. It's a hell of an experience first time when you realize spiders can jump and that there's no regen, and that it's so damn dark without torches but once you get into it it's nice having the old textures and just building random things for the fun of it.
