The ikea auto shop, where they prepare cars for flat pack delivery.

This is ai isn't it.

Nah that's surely a Photoshop job. I'm sure I've seen this image floating around the Internet since at least like 2018

Photoshop, not technically AI because it's older.

Also, if a lift like this failed this catastrophically it would not look like that at all, the top of the car would be squashed and the bottom would just be flattened upwards.

It isn't being lifted up by a single line in the middle of the vehicle, It's four separate arms placed around the rectangular frame of the car.

Also fluids, fluids everywhere.

I like the idea of one bar across the middle that you need to perfectly balance the car on in order to lift it. Makes it exciting.

Intern mechanics are told to go inside the car and shift their weight back and forth to balance it.

Customer forgot to mention their stash of "emergency lead ingots" hidden in the trunk/boot

That was my thought too, but I ran it through 3 detectors and they all think it's probably real. Probably 🤷

Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it · 3 pts · 20d

Those detectors don't work very well tbh, this one image is photoshop for sure anyway

Serinus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 20d

That is the question. Imagine somehow ruining shitposting.

If it weren't for all the pixels, I'd think it looked like a partially inflated balloon in the shape of a car

Honytawk@discuss.tchncs.de · 3 pts · 19d

It would look like a balloon, if the front wheels weren't removed.

It’s real. The sensor at the top (the yellow bar) failed that tells the hoist to stop when the car reaches the top.

RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 20d

It is most certainly not real.

Fake, but funny.

The frame bent before the body....?

Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 20d (2 replies)

It’s unibody, the body is the frame.

YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today · 3 pts · 20d (1 reply)

The top should still fold before the floor though, right?

justme@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 1 pts · 20d

you man the car roof? it looks like it's pushed against a flat surface (workshops ceiling). if it's pushed only against the metal plank, then you are right, the cars roof is much weaker than is bottom

if thats real.... I am supprised the lift goes that high
