Trump Burger, in Houston, Texas, was open for just over five months before it closed its doors following a series of legal battles and has been replaced by a pizza joint

    I guess I was lucky to snap a picture of it when still open for business.

    Ugh, I’m just noticing the black-and-white tile pattern.

        Yup. These fuckers certainly aren’t shy. I’m disappointed no-one burned it down.

    Overpriced burgers with “TRUMP” stamped on the bun. Why can’t I think of some grift like that? I could be making bank. Stupid conscience.

      Yeah, but you’d also have to be dealing with Trump supporters all day, overhearing their trump-loving conversations, and telling you how excited they are that you’re running this business to serve them and the man they love, so … What price sanity?

      They look burned on, so they are possibly technically carcinogenic too.

    Signs for Empire Pizza on the old building were reported by KHOU 11 Monday, though it is uncertain whether the restaurant is open to the public yet.

    I believe that building is cursed.

      Isn’t that rear end of a British police car? Lol. You’d probably have had a better result photoshopping it yourself.

        It is. The side looks kinda Spanish tho.

        Also, one of the ice wankers is pissing on it.

          The side does resemble an ICE vehicle, but yeah, I think it just sort of mashed some things up and got things wrong there too.

      So glad you burnt just a teeny but of our planet down for a shitty picture.

      Totally fucking worth it bro, who needs real leopards when we can “make” pictures of them with AI?

        Oh fuck off with this shit. Do you say the same about people using electricity to run their graphics card when playing a game?

        We use electricity everyday for frivolous shit. That’s clearly not your problem here.

          Clearly the energy and fuel is better spent sending a photographer and actors to a place with leopards for a meme. Without paying them for their time of course.

          I guess @givesomefucks@lemmy.world doesn’t know that you can host GANs on your own computer to train models and generate images on your own system for the same electrical cost associated with playing a video game.

            I can generate this kind of shit on my own pc and it doesn’t even go past to solar limits of the house. Idk what the datacenters use water for but doing it at home doesn’t, unless maybe in power generation where there is no solar or wind.
