    Schlubs From U.S., China Meet In Lowest-Level Talks

      According to observers, the three-day summit began with a photo op in which the schlub diplomats posed together while wearing recently purchased “Everything’s Bigger Down Under” T-shirts and blinking just as the camera flashes went off. U.S. schlub emissary Lenny Robinson then presented his Chinese counterpart with welcoming gifts that included a partially spent $25 Dunkin’ Donuts gift card and a VHS tape of Tremors recorded from a recent TNT broadcast.

        advanced social and technological achievements

        From personal experience, drinking beer through a straw is like drinking a full pint of head. It is like the “what if communism was a beer” meme. China is far too advanced to be making this sort of fundamental mistake.

        I think it’s cause the straw seems to end where the jacket begins and can’t be seen through the jacket at all.

        This one got me too, took me ages to figure out. You might need to find a higher res version that isn’t a screenshot of a screenshot, but look at the Tsingtao logo on the jacket compared to a real one. The English letters are almost perfect, only slightly off, but the Chinese characters underneath, specifically the second and fourth one, are pretty mangled. I bet some of the Chinese in the background is garbage too.

        Gonna have to learn Mandarin to start spotting this shit.

        EDIT: I went and found it.

          This looks like an AI alteration maybe? Like the original photo was the guy wearing a regular Tsingtao jacket and it was painted out with like Adobe content aware fill or something.

            Other people have pointed out issues like disappearing arm and straw inconsistencies. The blue Tsingtao logo is jank (anyone using adobe should have masked that out, surely) and the zipper is also busted but I can see that just happening on a jacket like that.

            If I could read Mandarin I bet it’d be an easy spot based on the signs in the background. Either way tho, it’s fake as fuck.

            EDIT: also just noticed the guy in the background off Beer Jacket’s right shoulder. Looks like he’s wearing a sling bag that just disappears halfway up his back.

        He doesn’t have a right arm. Or seemingly a left shoulder to joining where his left arm would be. Also, assuming the jacket was filled at one point it should be deflating as he drinks it, not staying puffy.

          Basically the whole jacket defies physics, if you think about it for just a moment. Like, drinking from a sealed bag wouldn’t allow for it to be all puffed up like that, imagine one of those little koolaid juice pouches.

          On top of that, the guy’s body becomes transparent inside the jacket. Which is kinda necessary when you want the beer to look as if it’s in a beer glas, ofc.

          That’s a tell that the obviously fake joke is fake, but could just as easily be the result of a photoshop or a gag with a prop made to look like that where someone just strikes a funny pose with a straw tucked into the collar.

          If the letters are fucked up that’s more a tell that AI is garbling stuff up, although that still doesn’t rule out a photoshop using an AI step at the end to try to smooth the bits together. If the background characters are fucked up, however, that would be a tell that the whole thing was summoned from nothing.

          Looking closely at the original, I think this was either someone with a transparent jacket (potentially dyed in places) and the graphic of this (or something similar) printed on the inside lining as just a silly design, or it was a photoshop working off someone in a transparent plastic jacket that at some point may been hit with a low-denoise AI inpaint to try to merge the edits in. The logo in particular shows artifacting around it that suggests it was pasted into the image. The full image resolution doesn’t line up with the raw output of any generator I know of (it’s too short and a weird aspect ratio, so this was cropped from something bigger), which suggests that if AI was used it was done piecemeal with inpainting on an edited photo someone took or found.

    Wouldn’t it be smarter to just make a jacket with a bunch of insulated beer can sized pockets on it?

          I can drink from mine and then place the open can back in the pocket. Its skinny enough that it won’t slosh over if its down 2 drinks

    I wonder how this would hold out in deep winter. Someone needs to make this real, idgaf the beer is warm, for the sake of art, real art for the masses.
