That's a bit chauvinistic don't you think? Some species don't develop past the deuterosomic stage, but that doesn't mean you have to be rude about it.

Chauvinistic? Snort!!! Only pure bred assholes do this

Funnily enough, I saw this meme earlier, and thought it was an AI rendering of the world's fastest manhole cover. Then I scrolled Lemmy, and here I am.
Tudsamfa 7 points 5 days ago
Sure.
Anyway, here's how the pictures compare in any image editor (the darker the more identical the pixel):
Notice that I lined the UFO up, but the skyline is now all out of whack, which seems to be a lot of work to give to oneself if all you wanted to do was add 4 words. Similarly, I can line up parts of the skyline, but now the UFO is at the wrong place:
In conclusion: I am pretty sure it was done with AI.
ComicalMayhem 2 points 4 days ago
I feel like it's more likely the creator just moved the UFO for some reason, since lining the skylines puts just the UFO out of place.

I could easily see that being an artistic choice to add film grain to the picture for the bit.
SystemDisc 3 points 4 days ago
Idk why you’re getting so many downvotes. It is very clearly created by AI with the actual image as an input.

Is this the oil price cap?
Pofski 39 points 5 days ago
It's probably a floating roof. In the petro they use this for several reasons. Less contact between the product and air reduces oxidation. There is also less gass formed above the product reducing odour. But funny enough, it is mainly used to reduce risk of explosion ...

It’s probably a floating roof.
Sure is.

CountVon 18 points 5 days ago
I think that part kinda makes sense. The lid is domed, which increases its strength. The seam where the lid meets the walls would tend to be the weakest point. I'm more surprised there was such a violent explosion in the first place, usually they just burn. Could be that tank was partially empty and the area beneath the lid was a highly combustible fuel/air mix. Drone hits the tank, vapour ignites, and pop.
Soup 10 points 5 days ago
Domes are great in one direction, because any given section has something below it. They’re a 3D arch, something whoch would fall apart immediately if turned upside down. The great part about big rounded edges is that they distribute pressure more evenly and reduce the amount of seams present unlike a welded cube, for example.
More likely is that, yes, the connection between the roof and the rest was the weaker point and also the dome was able to basically be a parachute so it coukd catch air instead of just being flung in some random direction.
WoodScientist 5 points 5 days ago
An arch or dome made of stone would instantly fall apart if flipped upside down. A steel one will perform just as well, as steel is isotropic.
ServantOfRa 5 points 5 days ago
IIRC, the lid can move up and down depending on how much content there's in the tank. Something something provides pressure if it's a gas.

Same logic could apply to airplanes. "In the unlikely event of a water landing, your seat cushion will become a flotation device." Oh that's nice, then why doesn't the plane become A BOAT!? - some standup comic.

"Then the oil from the coach lamps ignites and there is a second explosion, out of which rolls—because there are certain conventions, even in tragedy—a burning wheel."

That footage was hilarious, that one interceptor firing vertically 30 seconds after the drone had passed was peak comedy.

You hate to see it when thinking about the environment.
You love to see it when thinking about Putin getting briefed what's on fire this time.
Tetragrade 25 points 5 days ago
Nah its good for the environment, they were going to burn that anyway. Now it's still burnt, but the infrastructure is trashed.
DiaDeLosMuertos 11 points 4 days ago
Lol. That's quite a take, I kinda like it. ( I mean they'll build it again using more materials and energy, but I don't want to be a pooper of the party )
Tetragrade 5 points 4 days ago
Probably :( My basis is that in game theory if you want to disincetivise a behaviour you need to keep harming agents that take that action (negative reinforcement), but I suppose that doesn't apply here bc the Ukrainian signalling is about invading Ukraine, not the environment.
There is the additional factor that this reduces the output of oil power plants, creating more demand for electricity, so there's now a better opportunity for someone to build renewables to get more profits. I suppose you could also build something else, switch back to coal? Lmao

I still give the nod to New Glenn for explosion of the year, but this photo is even cooler in some ways.

Ukraine will transform Russia from a "fossil fuel export nation" into a "fossil fuel import nation".
Fedegenerate 9 points 4 days ago
Yes the roof fell off in this case, but I don't want anyone thinking that Moscow isn't safe.

No callsign, so it's military UFO?
