What in the GPT is going on with the hitches in the distance?
- Lifted trucks have to have extensions to lower the balls so they hang the right height for trailers.
  Apparently a couple of them fell in love.
- When a truck and another truck love each other very much...
- And the close ones. What is with the double ended tow ball?
  
  different size balls for different size hitches. All hitches are removable, you can flip those over to fit different implements. Imagine that, removable, almost like there was a legal requirement they be removed while not in use.
  
  There are different hitch ball sizes. I've got one lying around that has 3 ends.
  The ones in the back need extensions to the ground to match their ridiculous lift kits, otherwise the trailer would tip ass backwards.
  
  Those vertical offset ones are great, because trucks are different and trailers are different.
  I have what people call a "toy truck", the receiver is ridiculously low, and one trailer we have is ridiculously high, so offset ball mount is a requirement.
  
  Different trailers need different size balls. If you look close those are triple/quadruple ended. Fun for the whole family.
- I had suspicions when I say the asphalt or whatever it's called...way too flat and prestige for a parking lot. looks very fake
  
  Y'all and your AI witch hunt are ridiculous. Just admit that you're easily fooled, can't tell the difference.
  
  Lol. I encourage you to zoom in and look at the details.
  
  I don’t see any “ai-looking” things in this pic. Each hitch belongs to a truck. There are all sorts of shapes, but walk through the average Walmart parking lot and you’ll see them all.
  
  The nearest two hitches are pixel-perfect square to the camera.
  The tailpipe on the first truck on the right melts into a smudge.
  There is almost no detail in the concrete even though all the trucks are in sharp focus.
  All shadows have an ethereal quality and the light seems to have an inconsistent directionality.
  The ball on the white truck melts into the white line behind it.
  The green truck behind the white truck has a fender that seems to melt into a wheel.
  The box on the orange truck on the left seems to be about 3' deep.
  
  The shadows show it - exactly. The same from both directions, and weird looking to boot.
