I live here and my gf conplains every time we go for a walk that I don't mention how beatuiful it is

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 14 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I live here and I always use the opportunity to tell others how beautiful it is

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago

That's the kind of beauty that leeches into your soul.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I meam you could have used a nicer picture not taken in the winter/autumn

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I wasn't being serious. Altought, I do live in a similar looking place. Here, picture during spring of my apartments

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

See. Not as bleak as the first one.

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 1 points 4 days ago

Dude we're on a shitpost subreddit and I was making a self-roast joke, feels like I'm talking with a therapist (this is also a joke because I don't really know what else to say)

Maybe it's summer in the picture.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh, ain't that Lake Bled? Been there, and it's exciting! You can row a boat to the central island, and heights are all around, so you can always get a nice view from above!

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (3 children)

It is Bled yes. But I've been living here for about 20 years and have got used to the view.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 4 days ago

Wanna trade places for a while? I'm certainly not used to your view.

[–] Allero@lemmy.today 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Understandable. I myself live in one of the tourist hotspots.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

My condolences. One tourist hotspot resident to another.

[–] DrSoap@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wanna swap for a bit? I get the nyc skyline daily. I need something different.

[–] Wizard_Pope@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nah sorry. Not a fan of big cities

[–] DrSoap@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Oh well, had to try! Enjoy!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 35 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Some might also take the pyramids for granite.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 days ago

But they're sandstone

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 28 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I lived within sight of the statue of liberty. Often forgot it was there.

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 14 points 5 days ago

I lived close enough to see the Manhattan skyline everyday. Never paid attention to it. Then I would have the occasional out of town visitor and they were just in awe at the sight of it.

[–] Hossenfeffer@feddit.uk 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Pffft, such cute little man-made structures. Mount Fuji would like a word.

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 4 points 4 days ago

I didn't think I missed mountains that much moving from Washington state to England, but then I took a train through France and saw one tiny hill and started crying

[–] MrChewy@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Can confirm, people here literally act like we don't have a world known structure of tourism that is pyramids.

(I live in bosnia)

*grabs popcorn *

[–] faintwhenfree@lemmus.org 1 points 4 days ago

I think not enough people know about Bosnia to get the joke.

Where shitpost?

[–] bstix@feddit.dk 7 points 4 days ago

Would be weird if you were surprised by the pyramids everytime you walk out the door.

[–] FinjaminPoach@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago

TBF, if it was natural features it might catch more stares. I'm always taken away by the valleys running through my hometown, but these pyramids look foggy and mid from the street view

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

Take it for granite.

[–] Homo_Erectus@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I like how most of turistic spots are just some big ass shit.

Pyramids; big ass pyramid

Crist Redeemer; big ass Jesus

Liberty Statue; big ass woman

Eifel Tower; big ass antena

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're not wrong, but photographs do not convey just how big ass some of this shit is and how awesome (literally) it can be to experience the scale in person. The first time I saw the Golden Gate Bridge I got it. I had never once in my life up until that point given a single solitary shit about it, but afterward... Wow. And what a monument to man's ability to throw safety to the wind and build something fucking huge!

[–] Homo_Erectus@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 days ago

Felt something simmilhar seeing the open sea for the first time.

It's like "holy shit man... I'm kinda small"

[–] Beacon@fedia.io 7 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I lived my whole life in nyc and i try to imagine what it would be like to come from a smaller place and see skyscrapers for the first time. I can never really imagine what it's like

[–] Carnelian@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Total vertigo. Just walking through the streets is surreal. You crane your head to try and make sense of it but the buildings just keep going.

Individual buildings in NYC have more people in them than at any given time than my entire hometown. By a large margin. Just so cool. I guess that was the main shock for me, the sheer sense of scale

Couldn’t believe how good the tap water tasted either haha

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Soon after 911, some Middle Easterners (I don't remember exactly who) were shown a video of the attack, and some of them said they didn't know buildings that big existed.

You don't know what you don't know.

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I've always been on the East Coast and wonder what it's like to live in middle America and never see an ocean in person

[–] YexingTudou@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago

When I moved from the Midwest to Washington state I remember looking at the mountains from the parking lit at work and being in awe. My coworker who grew up there was just like "I guess I'm just used to it, I forget that they're there."

I think people can used to a lot. Even in my current city I've gotten used to the skyscrapers and have to remind myself to appreciate them occasionally. For reference my hometown doesn't have a building taller than 3 stories.

[–] JK_Flip_Flop@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I live less than 30 miles away from 3 of the world's most famous golf courses and I have literally zero interest in the sport. The closest one is just something I cycle through occasionally.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

And after, you miss it.

[–] Asafum@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

It's something I tried to remind myself of when I was having a bad day at work at a previous job as a service tech. On the days I was driving into or around Manhattan I'd just take in the skyline and tell myself that it's pretty amazing I get to see this.

It is kinda wild to know so many people have only ever seen it in movies and I'm just driving into it to go to some hole in the wall ice cream shop and squeeze into the tiniest space imaginable to try to fix a machine lol

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

I try to look out the window of the train and enjoy the view of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty each time, even though I've lived here several years

when I forget and realize it's too late and the train's already back underground I get mildly grumpy over it lol

[–] Tiral@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

Yeah, we get busses of people coming where I live to see the Mississippi river. It's just a damn river. Although, living here and driving on the interstate seeing "whatever river" that looks like a creek in comparison is amusing.

[–] remon@ani.social 2 points 4 days ago

Is it interesting though? If you live near an object it's literally granted to be there .... so of course.

[–] PixeIOrange@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

I would point lasers at it every night!
