Yes I have just done some research, but come across many adverts of similar nature.

It is nothing more than distorting the past to fit a future belief. (Probably not the best way to say it but I am sure you know what I mean)

There is no distortion of the past taking place. It is merely an image that has more significance now than when it was originally made. It is of course wrong to imply that the ad foretold of future events but nowhere in this topic has that happened. It was you who jumped to (incorrect) conclusions and started making assumptions.

It's an interesting image.

It's definitely interesting because of the sheer coincidence. It's not some kind of sign of terrorism being planned from the very start. You can see the reasoning for putting the shadow on the WTC: it would have been a massive landmark, and that helps sell the intent of the ad. It's a coincidence it happened, just like the Wreck of the Titan and the Titanic.

Jeezs climb down.

Having checked the facts I immediately admitted I was wrong.

I also pointed out in brackets that it was probably not the best way to explain what I was saying.

But I am sure everybody that read it including you knew what I was trying to explain.

Now I do believe some people are distorting the past, simply by changing what this advert was supposed to represent.

Yes I like the concept of their ad , the shadow looks good on WTC as a screen , really interesting!

I don't see why you felt the need to make such a facetious remark. It's an interesting image in light of subsequent events, as Paul Ferson pointed out.

Where has that occurred?

lol you telling me nobody has looked at the image and thought it was some kind of future sign. Granted not in this thread, and not by most people. But there is no chance the diehard conspiracy theorist have not use this image to help convince themselves and others.

Just like folded $ note.

1982 Illuminati card game

"Terrorist Nuke" -- This card is one of the most shocking of all, especially in light of the fact that this game first hit the specialty stores in 1995! How in the world did Steve Jackson know that the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center were going to be attacked? In fact, this card accurately depicted the World Trade Center attack in great detail. This card accurately depicts several facts of 9/11 -- on cards created all the way back in 1995! The picture accurately depicts:

* That one tower was going to be struck first; this picture accurately depicts the moments between the first tower strike and the second.

* The card accurately depicts that the place of impact is some distance from the top of the twin towers. The plane hit in this approximate area of the first tower. How in the world could Steve Jackson know this fact?

* The card accurately depicts the Illuminati leadership by showing on the building to the extreme left of the card the Illuminist pyramid with an all-seeing eye in the middle.

* The caption at the top properly identifies the perpetrators of the attack as "terrorists"

There will always be a minority who hijack such images and use them to promote an extreme agenda - in that you are of course right. But that hasn't happened here. I think what you meant was that some people will use the image to distort the past, but there really isn't any need to get ahead of ourselves.

But the reason I was so critical is because you did exactly the same thing as the people you were criticising by jumping to conclusions. If you had any doubt you could have said "it looks fake" but instead you stated "its [sic] fake".

Very sorry, your right.

Forget the Ad guys ... I've seen this card game before, it's way more troubling ..

People don't seem to be able to pay attention on what's important, instead of distractions. I'm also talking in life in general.

    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Honestly that feels even more useless than it did when Win11 was first released. In 2021, the uproar was somewhat justified, but only when comparing how good we've had it since Windows 7. Prior to that, a new Windows release would often require new, or very recent hardware. Windows XP wouldn't run (in any usable way) on hardware released when it's predecessor Win98 was released (let's ignore ME). It was time to shift the goal post, and the way Microsoft did that was actually ok. People have still had another FIVE YEARS of free software support with Windows 10, and those of us who want to have used these tools to bypass the limitations, all while understanding the impacts that may have. Most laptops don't last 5 years (sadly), so now the youngest unsupported hardware is 9 years old, and apparently has another year of support with Windows 10. That's good. Meanwhile, understanding the impacts and limitations, I have my 2013 laptop running Win11 perfectly fine. The thing that's failing on it is the hardware, the 2.5" SATA cable/chip is failing and corrupting the SSDs I put in. Thankfully it has a functional M.2 sata drive that works fine!
    • iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      iPhone 18 Pro drop-test video and photos leak on the dark web following a data breach by Hamid Ganji iPhone 17 Pro - Image via Apple Apple is seemingly facing one of the biggest data breaches in its history, and just a few months before the official debut of the iPhone 18 Pro series, photos, a drop-test video, a supplier list, and key phone components have reportedly been leaked by hackers. Last week, we reported that Tata Electronics, an Apple supplier and iPhone producer in India, was hit by a data breach. As a result, it was reported that more than 200,000 trade secrets and confidential documents belonging to Apple and Tesla were stolen by the ransomware group World Leaks. According to Reuters, the group has now leaked supplier lists, component details, and photos of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models on the dark web. One of the materials leaked by the hackers is a drop-test video of the iPhone 18 Pro, which is due to launch this September. The phone is shown in a gray color and has the same familiar design we saw on last year's iPhone 17 Pro series. The device also appears to be quite durable, though it seems to be thicker than last year's model. One possible explanation is that Apple may be using a larger battery in the iPhone 18 Pro series. Moreover, Reuters says it has seen at least six documents mapping many components in the iPhone 18 Pro models to their respective suppliers, including details on chips on the main circuit board and on battery and camera components. The documents reportedly detail hundreds of parts that will be used in the iPhone 18 Pro models. A person familiar with the matter told the outlet that Apple classifies this data as sensitive and “is concerned about the documents being shared on the dark web as they relate to unreleased models.” Apple is reportedly investigating the issue but has yet to issue an official statement.
    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      By monterxz · Posted

      You do you, I've just said that it first appeared in "home" version before it will be available in "work" one. I use Edge only because it still supports MV2 uBO extension even on Android - I'll switch when they stop.

      I imagine that was a review or something? My reviews mostly contain a lot of images and galleries, but these are all webp too, but yeah it all adds up on the page load. Would help if you were more helpful with your critique instead of bitching and moaning like a Karen 😂 Because then we might be able to fix it for you.
    • Dbrand thought they could get away with this Steam Machine case, Valve disagreed

      By PsYcHoKiLLa · Posted

      If Valve refused to let them make the case, I wonder if they've already partnered with someone else to do it? The fact that they didn't seek permission/licence before diving straight in is incredible though
