No, I really meant the “load”, as in a loaded vehicle’s trunk.
As I said during other replies on this nested thread, i visualized this drawing as some sort of old VW Beetle: trunk at the front of the car, relatively small engine at the rear, rear traction. That’s why, at least to me, the locomotive principles clicked in my mind.
but a weird little cube thing on the back is making some sort of cloud.
Which I particularly understood as a small engine from a rear-traction locomotive… I mean, a combustion engine doesn’t need to be big, just see how old VW Beetles work with engines quite small compared to other cars.
The driving wheels need to be under the weight to provide traction
Which is the reason behind the rear traction of a VW Beetle: the engine is at the rear side.
But, okay, let’s say the drawing is “all wrong” or physically dubious. Why it “must be AI”? Do you people happen to have seen those Rube-Goldberg art pieces? Did Rube Goldberg use AI for his artworks?
Last but not the least, oh my Goddess! I can’t help but quote the meme: “boy, that escalated quickly”. It’s a meme, fellows, it’s meant to be a meme! Still we’re all fighting over details of a meme! I simply asked someone why they labelled this comics “AI slop”, then it developed into me trying to explain how my neurodivergent mind is visualizing the locomotive as some kind of VW Beetle shaped as a steam locomotive…
I should disassemble some old VW Beetle someday and make myself a locomotive quite similar to the one in the comics, just for you people to see what exactly I was visualizing when I was stubbornly explaining my perception of an Internet meme. 😅
Given VW never made a steam powered rail variant of the Beetle it’s a bit moot. The principles of road and rail are very different. This is why it’s slop.
