Is that really the first time it was rained on? Or is the tweet like-farming?

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago

It doesn't really rain very much in Las Vegas. It's very possible that this is the first time it's been rained on since it was powered on.

It's in a desert so yeah probably

I'm out of the loop on this one, but I've seen a couple memes about it. Help a poor man, what is that thing?
I thought it was photoshopped until this post.

This guy speaks my language. I see where he's coming from.

And going to.
And eating at.
Where his parents live.
The orbs see all.

Las Vegas just built this massive hemispheric event hall with the outside completely covered in huge LED screens. It's pretty cool, but also completely obnoxiously bright at night- like a miniature moon covered in those annoyingly bright LED billboards landed right next to the strip

Nice.
I don't live in Vegas. So I approve of the orb.

"a second raindrop has hit the orb"

[–] emizeko@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

someone in the replies saying this is a test/calibration pattern, but that sounds like :cope: bullshit to me
