I saw one numbered 127.0.0.1 that kept going around in circles.

This actually makes perfect sense. This bus only visits the stops in this particular part of the city.
In other words, this subnet only has these sites available inside the wider Lan.
Genius.
Saw one going to Cheerio Street once, and it had this sort of cosmic, spacey kind of pattern printed on it. It was a Universal Cereal Bus.
IPv6 is missing from my networking meme 😞
I wonder if these busses are operated by former IT workers who gave up IT out of frustration and became bus drivers.
Looks like AI slop to me.
This is an old ass photo that predates AI.
I also thought it looked a bit sloppy. I couldn't find it with a reverse image search, and AI detectors seem convinced it's fake. Where's it from?
That train looks sus, like the tracks look a bit wide and they just end there with no barrier or anything. I've been to the end of the line on a few different light rails and there is always some sort of barrier to both stop trains from going off the tracks and to prevent idiots from driving onto them.
Edit: there's also no railing on the platform with a hefty ledge and what are those bollards doing on the platform?
For some reason it doesn’t come up on TinEye, but often I’ve found it to be very hit or miss. Where this file is from is Discord, but I searched for it earlier on another reverse image lookup site and saw an older imgur post with it. But idk maybe people have been churning out AI shit longer than I think? I’m so fucking tired of trying to put images under a microscope to see if shits real or not.
I work with similar network based LED signs and you can have them show IP or MAC when they’re new out of box. The ones I get always are set to 192.168.1.200. So idk this isn’t that surprising to me.
I mean, even if it predates modern image AI generation, we've had photo manip for a lot longer. Someone could've just edited it the old fashioned way. I did some pretty convincing photoshops back in the day.
It’s slop. The numberplate on the bus is nonsense, there have never been green New Routemasters, and they are exclusive to London. The metro train is American-style, nothing like anything in London. The sign just saying “Metro Station” is implausibly generic and doesn’t show a station name. The platform has no railings and ends on an abrupt ledge, and the railway ends without buffer stops and fixed signals.
Based on...?
Unmarked plates bus parked at "metro station" and no person with discernable features in sight.
Where it sits aligned with the grooves in the pavement where a bus would normally never park is highly unusual.
I mean, I don’t get where exactly the bus is (there are only Underground stations on the 94 route), but it’s clearly got plates, it’s a real London bus and the pavement is next to it.
