[ODDITIES OF THE INTERNET] Travel.StackOverflow has a monthly photo contest; it's always terrible

https://travel.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/8595/december-2023-photo-contest-festive

These days it's easy for anyone to take a decent picture, even moreso if you're a nerd with expendable income. Therefore you'd expect Stack Overflow's Travel forum's monthly photo contest to be high quality.

You'd be wrong, they're always TERRIBLE. This month's theme is "Festive". The current winning picture is shit:

and third place is currently...

Why would a StackOverflow power user be eating such a sad-looking Christmas dinner alone? It really makes you think.

Past contest entries (in various topics) include:

There's a suitably :marseyautism: list of suggested future themes including:

  • Officials (police, customs officers, diplomats etc)

  • Unusual modes of transportation

  • Construction (any work in progress that's meant to enable / enhance travel)

  • Holiday photos, in which you can recognize people traveling for their (yearly?) break from work

  • Civic buildings

You can find past contests on https://travel.meta.stackexchange.com.

>Officials

>Construction work

>Civic buildings

Even more themes up next: Standard police response times per city block, wacky timestamped photos of local politicians going about their daily routine, the highest traffic areas with the fewest egress points, and the one I'm most excited about, a competition for the longest range unimpeded views of the hottest tourist destinations.
