To be fair there is so much JPEG compression on the image, you can't see much of anything.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Yes, the compression is bad, but you can't tell me that the plane isn't literally exploding right now. Also the vacuum cleaner looks off, but on second glance maybe it's fine? I'm not sure.

Jet taking off with catapult system on an aircraft carrier, the CATOBAR system is steam powered if I’m not mistaken.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I've watched a CATOBAR video to see what you're talking about (interesting stuff btw), but isn't that unrelated? In this image there is no aircraft carrier, the wings are angled 45° upwards, and there are weird orange spots on the hull.

We're looking at a rear view of a fighter with a V tail...

Dayum that's a thiccc booty

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The jets? That's the only orange.

You're probably being sarcastic

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't think I'm seeing what you're seeing in that image.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure it's and f-14 launching off of a carrier, but the image is zoomed in so you only see a tiny portion of the deck obscured by the smoke. The orange glow is the jets on the back, and it's taken at an angle which makes the tail fins stick out weirdly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I think it might be an f/a-18 actually, vertical stabilisers are more slanted in a V and the engines are closer together than on an f-14

EDIT: found the original image

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Hmm okay, I see. I still think it looks weird but at least I get what you're saying now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

It's possibly an f/a-18, the tail looks like a V and the engines are closer together like in the picture.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

The tail fins also move, and would be angled for takeoff

this meme image has been around far longer than AI image generation, no need to be paranoid about A.I

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

Yeah, apparently I was just paranoid about it :/
