What is this dome-shaped metallic thing I saw while walking around? (lemmy.world)

This picture was taken this summer in the south of France, in case it’s relevant. The area was on the side of a mountain (near a village) and had olive trees all around. Any idea?

In the grass, a dome-shaped object made out of metal strips, which are arranged radially so that they partially overlap. It’s large in circumference, but not tall. There’s a big “cross” of metal on top of it which seems to hold the thing together.

I’ll take the L on that one, but I’d rather be wrong and corrected than be right and an asshole about it.

I’ve still never seen a satellite dish made of strips of sheet metal like this, so I don’t think that’s what this is.

    Buddy...

    How many times have you insulted me, and how many times have I insulted you?

    You're wrong, and upset about it. Someone telling you that you're wrong is not an insult. And responding to it with insults is t a good look for anyone...

    No idea why you still think things you haven't seen can't exist, or why you think anyone cares that your uninformed opinion hasn't changed.
