Since this keeps getting posted everywhere - it’s an art installation that was supposed to melt. It’s literally the point of its existence

[u/BlowMoreGlass → u/BalognaMacaroni]

It was "intended to be burnt like a candle and change over time" but the extreme heat jacked it up much more and much faster than they intended

It wasn't the "extreme heat" the people who made it just didn't seem to think about what wax does on asphalt during the summer.

Still a missed opportunity to have hidden a terminator skeleton inside.

The Lincolnator.

"Hasta la Vista, slavery."

Coming this summer.

Brilliant!

[u/hotlavatube → u/chupathingy99]

I’d watch it.

Put a wooden coffin inside and it's all an elaborate way to announce Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 2

[u/eagledog → u/hotlavatube]

At least they didn't put a Planet of the Apes poster inside of it

Thanks for explaining.

So the art piece that is a symbol of america was supposed to melt, as design, and it wasn't an error made by the everyday man? Interesting.
