This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Even crazier, they are the same chairs. If you look at the woodwork, they are identical.
They have been reupholstered to that, with a fine pattern that appears to make image compression struggle with the edges of people.
I am not sure they are reupholstered, everything is over saturated in the second image, the floor, the wall and even the marble.
I think they fuck with the white balance to try and make Trump look more normal.
This was especially noticeable the other month when he met the Saudis in their white robes, and it made him look like a fucking Oompa Loompa.
Yeah, I think it’s a combination of over-saturated color, combined with light reflecting off of all the gold. If you shine white light into a room full of gold, it’ll take on a golden tint as it bounces around. So when it hits non-gold surfaces, it will tint those surfaces yellow.
It looks more saturated to me.
Basically same chair and upholstery but the saturation was boosted +5
Even the bits not against the chair seem blocky.
It's like they're so far detached from reality that they've disabled anti-aliasing.
