    This image looks like slop.

    • Proportions are all just a bit off. Plug on the power cord is a bit too big, the door seems a bit too short, the TV cart a bit too tall, etc.

    • Notes pinned to the bulletin board are a weird mish-mash of different colors and sizes, and none of them look like something real people would actually hang up.

    • Doorknobs don’t quite line up with each other.

    • Wall texture inconsistent behind the legs of the cart.

    • The edge between the wall and the doorway is blurry when behind the cart.

    • Why would you strap the TV across the screen, so that you’d have to remove the straps every time? Put it sideways instead. Also, the front of the straps are tight, but the top of the straps above the TV look completely loose.

    • Cord is too neatly coiled on the bottom tray, while there are no other wires anywhere. Also, the cord appears to be two-prong, while any cart like this would use a grounded three-prong plug. Where are the TV and VCR power cords? Where’s the cable connecting the VCR to the TV? No, I will not believe that all three of those wires are disconnected and neatly coiled out of sight after every use.

    • TV and VCR have no visible branding. There are spots on both where branding would be, but they’ve been kind of smudged away, leaving slight artifacts behind. Probably because the AI used has guardrails to prevent using trademarks.

    • Cart’s wheels are pointing the opposite direction from the direction the cart is being pushed.

    • Reflections on the TV don’t reflect the room’s lights, even though the room is well-lit.

      It’s definitely slop, but tbf my school did strap them down like that for storage because it’s much more secure that way. CRTs are very front heavy so puting the straps sideways would mean it might slip out and fall. It’s easy enough to unstrap them, I mean that’s what straps are meant for. That being said the straps themselves look fucking weird. They’re not even touching the top of the tv. >.>

      Also I’ll add the door jamb just stops before the top of the door, so the top hinge is just, there.

      100% slop. The proportions are off, they never strapped down the TV like that, the vhs player is too big, and those door knobs wouldn’t have been (assuming this is supposed to be an American classroom) ADA compliant, its why all the doors moved to those hooked handle knobs so that someone without a hand or ability to grip a regular door knob could open the door

      As someone who saw a little kid have a CRT fall on them when the trolley tipped, I think the straps are a very good idea.

      I’m not sure if I can replace the image or not as it would no longer be the original post and wouldn’t fit microblog memes

      • Bricks under blackboard are not overlapped

      Definitely improving on the capacity to fool people, whatever value that holds to people not making money off of scamming

    Sorry, Windows Media Player depends on Microsoft Exchange in the background so it’s also out of service.

      Which is why VHS is superior. Put on that copy of Land Before Time for the class and learn about death in the first 5 minutes.

        No no no, you have to play All Dogs Go To Heaven so everyone can get emotionally scarred for life by his trip to Hell.
