       There are some disturbing old historical photos of people who were tarred and feathered... which was a kind of humiliation and public torture that could kill a person. (Not as much fun and games as it's play in some stories)I'd never seen them before so when I saw the photo I thought it was a generated image. Looked it up but it was real. When I think an image is fake, but it's not it makes me think of the fake images I've probably missed. :/

       @futurebird Carnivàle (HBO) has a depiction of a tar and feather that was pretty grim. Great show, btw.

       @futurebird the devaluation of the visual object as a reference of reality: another  consequence of the irresponsible people behind  the current LLM products.

       @futurebird probably almost always killed people. They're not using cold tar, so even if you survive the massive surface burns the post-removal infection would do you in pretty quickly.
