This is radical, thanks for sharing - a perfect example of something I would never get to see on Reddit back in the day. I would either glaze over or skip. The picture is unbelievable.

Yeah its really cool. I also used to post some of the stuff i would see in feeds in reddit, mostly would get buried.

I also edited the post and added some more coverage that had some better explanations.
