      TY… I was getting irritated by how many upvotes this post was getting…

      Like hate speech on wall isn’t the same thing as graffiti… Tagging your block cause you in a gang is also not really a graffiti …

      Anyways… Thx again

        Believe it or not, I posted this meme to make a joke, not because of my enduring, seething hatred for grafitti as an artform

        The meme community disappointed you with its lack of scientific accuracy?

      Graf is probably better than ever now, shame it’s not as long lasting was in Rome. Hopefully some of the best artists pick up sculpting so people in the future might have a little taste.

        Digital pictures of their work last indefinitely, just saying

        Edit: To everyone mentioning that digital photos aren’t guaranteed to last forever, yup: That’s what indefinitely kinda means. There is no guarantee. Could last another day because the medium the only copy was stored on failed, or it could last for thousands of years because it was properly backed up in a lossless format.

          Things stored digitally are sadly anything but everlasting, a lot is lost to time already

            You have to take measures to preserve and back it up, it’s definitely not guaranteed.
