looking through my old files and... found a weird one of a fake album cover I made and I have NO fucking clue what it was I used to pick the name, image and text, but... looking at it now I'm like "fuck this looks punk as hell kinda wtf"

i.imgur.com/d3tNT.jpg like, pretty sure the words might have been from random wiki crawls but... NO idea what the image is from. This was years ago so I have no memory of what spurred this but p. sure it was some thread on a forum.

(image description for the link I posted:)
a black and white photo of what would probably be called a "zebra crossing" in the UK, it seems, with water pooled around one side. Two people are walking through it, one in sandals and cut off trousers/jeans with ankles bare, one in jeans and either smart shoes or boots. The shot is taken as water is splashing up from their steps heavily.

Red text displays "BIE" as the 'artist' name, and "The First Deterrant" as the album title, in a military-ish font

@Nine a zebra crossing?

*looks at it*

oh, a crosswalk. I am kinda amused you call it that though?
-F

@Felthry I honestly never understood it myself like, zebra aren't striped regularly, and certainly not as broadly as that. Pinstripe crossing I would have understood but... zebra??

Also Pelican and Puffin Crossings are a thing and no i do NOT know wtf those are either or how to describe them, even though I am English, and no I have no idea WHY we call them that either, lol.

We brits are fuckin' weird.

@Nine @Felthry German also has "Zebrastreifen" (zebra stripes), no one uses the official designation
