Is this image AI? the reflections in the window, the perfect snowman, that film grain filter… it looks too perfect to me.
Yeah absolutely
I get that vibe. I’ve seen a different photo with an extremely similar background that was definitely AI. This is kind of the most average looking UK houses, no house numbers, no logo on the security decide. Definitely suspicious.
Why does he have a fridge in his front garden?
It’s Southampton
To make more snow
Moy land moy snow simple as
U fookin wut, mate?
You wanna take this outside?
U wot bruv?
The court granted him 33% custody of the resulting man.
Wow, he really has that neighbour by the balls
It’s only one ball, actually.
This is a whole sub-genre in British tabloids. Absolute melts pointing at things with a sad or annoyed face.
Cannot for the life of me remember the collective term for them.
compo face
What’s that short for?
Compensation. Specifically talking about idiots looking for money for petty reasons.
Yes! Exactly this. Hahahaaaaaa. Whadda buncha shites.
Says the man with appliances on his front lawn. The British really are the ‘mericuhns of Europe aren’t they?
It depends on where you live, but generally you leave stuff out the front if you want to get rid of it (fridges, freezers, ovens, mattresses, sofas etc) - either officially, by arranging a “bulky goods” collection from the council, or waiting for someone who wants/needs it to take it. Large appliances generally get picked up by “rag and bone” men who weigh the metal in for scrap.
Remember that a large chunk of urban population don’t drive at all, and the majority that do drive small vehicles for short journeys - so not many people can take stuff like that to a recycling centre themselves.
I mean, the British helped to make us
They also helped to make Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and they turned out better than we did.
British: “You’re weak!”
Americans: “I’m you!”
i thought that was some sort of weird British mailbox but you’re right that is just a refrigerator on their lawn lol
In the snow - the perfect example of pointlessly redundant
Hey, don’t talk shit about his snowman.
De Gaulle vetoed the British application to join the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1963, famously uttering the single word ‘non’ into the television cameras at the critical moment, a statement used to sum up French opposition towards Britain for many years afterwards.[41] Macmillan said afterwards that he always believed that de Gaulle would prevent Britain joining, but thought he would do it quietly, behind the scenes. He later complained privately that “all our plans are in tatters”.[35]
American President John F. Kennedy urged de Gaulle to accept the United Kingdom in the EEC, stating that a Europe without Great Britain would create a situation in which the United States were bearing the enormous costs of Europe’s protection without any voice. Kennedy applied pressure to de Gaulle by threatening to withdraw American troops from European soil, but de Gaulle believed that the United States would lose the Cold War if they were to leave Europe.[42] It encouraged de Gaulle to see Great Britain as America’s “Trojan Horse”.[43]

In his defense, he is doing his best to save the climate by keeping his refrigerator outside in the Winter!
Power companies hate this one trick
An indoor refrigerator in the winter is essentially a resistive heater. It’s not nearly as good as a heat pump, but may be better for the environment that burning gas, depending on the local electricity mix.
That is an excellent point that I had not considered—it might actually be more efficient to make use of the heat in your food to heat your home than to pump it outside!
That’s not my main point as I don’t think the heat capacity of food is so important over the long term.
I mean, that the inevitable inefficiency of the fridge in a closed system, is no different, that any other device consuming the same amount of energy, as it all ends as waste heat.
We don’t really have those imo. AFAIC the Bri’ish are our bro’as.
Keeping a fridge outside in the winter is brilliant. Saving on electricity is good for the environment.
Don’t be daft. His bins were there.

also I feel like this area would be soo cozy without the fence and with a big tree to give some shade to rest under. maybe a hammock tied to the house or something too
The front garden is not space to get cozy in the UK, especially if you live somewhere where neighbours pose for compo face for the local paper, have a triple head crease at the head neck neutral zone, keep white goods or sofas in the front garden etc. I expect if you explore the area where this photo was taken, there is a pub with a flat roof and no other amenities than a chip shop, bookies, vape shop.
For the record, I absolutely love places like this
But then who’s fuckin tree is it? Who’s leaves when comes time to rake? Who’s shade? This doesn’t end.
Will the real tree shady please stand up
Who’s shade?
Depends which angle the sun hits it at.
In a perfect world they could remove the fence and plant a tree in the middle to mark the property line. Everybody wins!
I think you’re overestimating the amount of nice, sunny days available in British weather :)
oi, you got a loicense for that snow?
Is this Snowman real? It looks so pretty
After one snowy night, next morning I saw neighbours had crafted a meticulous Totoro (from Ghibli) from the snow. With all his fur dimples or whatever they’re called.
I wan’ed that fackin snow foh me fackin frig you cant.
oi u got a loicense fer that groipe mate
They’re minerals, Marie!
his neighbor? Colin Furze.
