They misspelled improved

I think it makes it better.

A conservationist should be able to remove the ink. I doubt it’s “ruined”.

Edit: looked it up, apparently restoration cost about $5k. Not ruined, but definitely a costly little stunt.

Article where the guard explains a bit

He explains that some teenage girls handed him a pen and said draw eyes on it. And he was like, okay sure I guess.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 115 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ruined? Those auctioneer will spin some artsy story and it will be a million pound art. It's money laundering after all.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

The difference between art and graffiti is about 100 years.

[–] ThatKomputerKat@lemmy.world 4 points 19 hours ago

Missed his calling, should have worked in a corrections facility.

[–] mvirts@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago

I just wish it was the original artist who got a job as a security guard just for this

[–] katja@lemmy.blahaj.zone 84 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Story is wrong, it was his last day.

[–] vaguerant@fedia.io 75 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're not wrong.

The security guard has since been fired and the police have opened a criminal investigation.

  1. I knew I'd read this before.
[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (3 children)

I think, you found a bug in the Lemmy webpage. 🙃

[–] gay_sex@mander.xyz 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Woah

Edit: doesn't work for this comment to me

In voyager it just looks cut off

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So, what's happening is that it interprets a number at the start of a line, followed by a dot, to be an enumeration:

  1. One
  2. Two
  3. Three

And then it indents that text to a certain fixed width, which is why a very long number sticks out to the left.

Why your comment didn't work, is for two reasons:

  1. It stops interpreting a number as an enumeration when you go beyond 9 digits. That's why your first and last example didn't work.
  2. It automatically 'fixes' the enumeration, if the numbers aren't successors. I actually wrote "123456789." at the start of this line, but it changes it to a "2.". That's why the "2334." and "23145524." you wrote got changed to a "124." and "125.", which made them too short to really look broken.

Lol. I can see the matrix.

O wait I can't.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That was his day on the job.

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Of all of his days on the job, this was all of them

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 30 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Who the hell is that stupid lmao

Daily Mail readers

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

In this context a security guard.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 3 points 21 hours ago

Has he been arrested like those people with the harmless orange powder?

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"ruined" in the eyes of the ones. "Upgraded" in the eyes of others.

Taste in art is highly individual as can be seen here again.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 22 hours ago

“eyesed” in the eyes of the literal

[–] Maelvie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 1 day ago

Making art with art 👌

[–] FelixCress@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

He may have added value.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Should have used googly eyes

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

It was his first day, he only had the pen in his pocket.

And what have we learned, kids?

Always carry a pocketful of googly eyes!

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

They should promote him, its much better now.

[–] Jikiya@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sweet, the Russian army gets more meat for it's grinder. You would think Russian serfs would be more careful about breaking the law during these mass sacrifice times.

[–] AMillionMonkeys@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

You should use Linux.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

He was actually a veteran with significant injuries, so he's already been through the grinder

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

Both versions suck.
