The demo site seems to work without javascripts, and the main site’s “Why this exists” lists “an interface that works with JavaScript switched off” as one of the reasons.

Well I was able to disable it. Though I’m still curious why there’s such a weird blur effect to go along with an equally-weird adult-consent thing which requires javascript. ~Also worth noting that removing the blur doesn’t allow clicking any links.~ Nevermind, I was able to get that to work. But each page load/reload requires this same attention. Still weird. I’ve never come across a lemmy instance that’s gated in this way before. Most either have a blank page or captcha. And I’m still curious about why this one is configured like this.

Why the blur?

Doesn’t look that way to me, but I’m not here to argue about it. Idk what else to say, so I’ll probably just leave it there and hope my original comment was worth sharing in the first place.

I hadn’t considered that, but it’s possible. The vehicle is parked with the window open while the person in the driver’s seat is taking pics of the child hiding from the large animal whose head is entirely inside the vehicle. So yeah, I can see how the driver could have also intentionally lured the animal to approach in the first place. But regardless, they seem to be intentionally abusing that child. Otherwise, why leave the car parked with the window open as a large animal approaches, and why take pics of the child instead of helping them? Like, if it somehow happened so quickly that they couldn’t have prevented it, why start taking pics instead of pushing the animal back out? Why not drive away?

Hi, I know this is just a shitpost, but I feel the need to say something serious about it for a sec. I find the image unsettling. Deliberately violating a child’s personal space boundaries like that, where they can’t escape the situation, for a pic and a laugh at their expense, I see as a form of child abuse. Like, if you look at the kid’s face, you should be able to see it. Right? It just feels bad to see a pic like that being used as a meme template. And I’m not saying anyone is a bad person for using or enjoying the meme/template. I’m just asking and hoping that you please think on it and reconsider how you feel about it.
