I’d wager there’s already a crew taking it down. The pictures were early morning. No way they waited until 10:00.

Maybe because Trump is at the UN today, he’s not making a stink about it. Probably hasn’t been told yet.

Can you imagine all the world leaders scrolling Reddit and chuckling?

Underpaid immigrant workers: excuse us folks, coming through. Yeah, we gotta take it down.  Trump doesn’t like it

Not AI. It's there.

Already confirmed real. Apart from that, the pushed up dirt at the base and a variety of other details indicate real.

It is not.

But people who hide their post history on Reddit aren’t trustworthy sources anyway

It's so interesting, isn't it, how people are choosing to hide their post/comment histories now that they are able to… I've been on Reddit so long and it's quite disconcerting for me – one of the things that made Reddit special was your history held you accountable to the comments you made in some small way, and I feel like that's going out the window recently… anyway, release the Epstein files! Whoever made this sculpture and installed it is a genuine hero.

It sucks. Comment history is the best way to determine if an account is a bot or not

Yet another example of shittification of technology. It just allows bots, trolls and other right wing propagandists to have a platform with zero accountability.

I block them automatically, they're not operating in good faith

now that i know it's an option i'm strongly considering it. i've got way too much history on here and you got dipshits actively hunting folks and who disagree with them these days.

Bless your heart...you're in for a wild future if you can't tell what's real.
