A photography community of all the hideous places human beings built or inhabit. Come here for aesthetic appreciation of the darker side of the cities, towns, and villages in our shared world. We welcome any photos which show either ugliness, or a problem in urban development. Rural and suburban hell are also allowed.

Think absurd architecture, concrete wastelands, car culture, suburban hell

That much dedication to doing something so silly is what I can get behind.

If shoes on a power line signify drugs being sold near by, what does this signify? An underground farmer's market?

How does a shopping cart symbolize urban hell?

[–] BakedGoods 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can think of two ways. One is people living in an underdeveloped urban area so far from food that they have to drive there and therefore can't buy fresh and often. The other is the shopping cart representing the physically weak and impaired. Not being able to carry their own food due to the poor state of their bodies.

Lmao what? Virtually every grocery store has a shopping cart. Whether they're in poor cities, rich cities, big cities, or small towns. This isn't an American thing either. It's the case everywhere else in the world too.

The other is the shopping cart representing the physically weak and impaired. Not being able to carry their own food due to the poor state of their bodies.

I think most people would find it difficult to carry a watermelon, a chicken, and can of soup at the same time. That's not a sign of disability or being weak. Shopping carts exist for convenience.

  1. Sure the market in my area have shopping carts, but I've never see anyone using them other than to contain children while shopping.

  2. Ever heard of a fucking basket?

That's completely irrelevant. The point is that shopping carts are universal and there for good reasons. Nobody cares if you use them or not, the point is that trying to point a shopping cart as urban hell is beyond stupid.

Ever heard of a fucking basket?

A shopping cart is literally a basket on wheels. I fail to see your point.
