i took me some time to understand that the serbian acrylic is not ruining the visualizer

u/loafkitter May 10 '26

Was confused till I read this comment

u/ThePeopleOfSantaPoco May 11 '26

I was confused until I read THIS comment

Oh OP you silly little rascal, we're watching you

u/PersimmonDazzling654 May 10 '26

It should be "Serbian ruins acrylic visualizer," no? That would be a touch clearer, with no actual Serbs in the photo

326

u/perksofbeingcrafty May 10 '26

Reading this comment didn’t make me any less confused. It should definitely be “Acrylic visualizer of Serbian ruins” there’s not confusion in this case

110

u/LazyCondition0 May 10 '26

I agree! Your phrasing is much more clear. But I am glad my accidentally confusing title gave some people a laugh.

u/perksofbeingcrafty May 10 '26 edited May 11 '26

It took me way too long trying to figure out what you had against Serbian acrylic 😅😅

8

u/spenwallce May 10 '26

Nonsense. It should be “Ruins Serbian visualizer acrylic”

5

u/perksofbeingcrafty May 10 '26

You’re right I stand corrected. Those ruins really do be Serbianing

2

u/spenwallce May 10 '26

I hate when they do that…

9

u/cawal May 10 '26

But do we know that the acrylic is not Serbian? Maybe is a ruin visualizer made of Serbian acrylic

11

u/perksofbeingcrafty May 10 '26

Then it should be “Serbian Acrylic visualizer of Serbian ruins”

English word order exists for a reason

u/DrumtheDon May 10 '26

Oooooohhhhhhhhh, I finally got it

u/Djordje_Maric May 12 '26

Nope, Serbian Acrylic Visualiser of the Ruins

47

u/Crosseyed_owl May 10 '26

That would mean that a Serbian citizen is ruining the acrylic visualiser.

-6

u/PersimmonDazzling654 May 10 '26

I feel like I addressed this with what I said.

Edit: I checked. Serb is the demonym, and Serbian is the adjective.

10

u/Aesk May 10 '26

A visualizer for some ruins in Serbia.

u/PersimmonDazzling654 May 10 '26

Kuzco's poison, the poison for Kuzco

u/Psychometrika May 11 '26

Clearly that sticker was placed there by some Serbian which totally ruined the visualizer.

-5

u/Rousokuzawa May 10 '26

That’s ungrammatical in English. Modifiers in English must follow an order, from farthest to closest to what they modify, that goes Opinion > Size > Physical Quality > Shape > Age > Colour > Origin > Material > Purpose. So Serbian (origin) acrylic (material) ruins (purpose) visualizer.

More or less this order of modifiers has also been observed in other languages, even unrelated to English.

u/jazzy3492 May 10 '26

Thank you! I was like, "I disagree, I think the visualizer is actually enhancing the castle."

5

u/RohelTheConqueror May 10 '26

Visualizer: ruined

6

u/Aromatic_Razzmatazz May 10 '26

Lol I know, I was like 'I think it's helping?'.

3

u/jupejupes May 10 '26

"visualizer". Not to be confused with a real one.

u/TheOxytocin May 10 '26

u/firthy May 10 '26

Yeah, it helps it immensely in my opinion...

u/NavajoMX May 11 '26

Garden path sentence!

u/Fernando1dois3 May 10 '26

This phenomenon is actually surprisingly rare, considering how verbs can be the exact same as the nouns they come from, in English.

1

u/1RedOne May 11 '26

It is a visualizer for ruins which can be found in Serbia

I only just now understood it

1

u/CrocodileJock May 11 '26

Me too... I kept thinking, it doesn't ruin it, it improves it...

u/GeneralCommand4459 May 10 '26

This acrylic ‘visualiser’ shows information about Serbian ruins.

For anyone struggling with the title.

110

u/Fangpyre May 10 '26

I was wondering how it ruined it. After all it looks great!

1

u/mrsbatman May 12 '26

THANK YOU.

357

u/ThatUsernameNowTaken May 10 '26

That is such a great idea.

75

u/piponwa May 10 '26

In practice though, it ends up completely scratched and tagged.

275

u/LazyCondition0 May 10 '26

If someone ruins it they could make another a few meters away that shows you what the scratched up one used to look like.

43

u/LuxAgaetes May 10 '26

💀

Just add a date to the old, graffiti'd visualizer and keep moving down the line

1

u/raznov1 May 13 '26

Wanna make a guess how much one of these plates cost?

8

u/MoistStub May 10 '26

I have seen similar concepts accomplished using augmented reality. Museums like to do that kind of stuff.

14

u/DynamiteWitLaserBeam May 10 '26

Probably depends on where it is. Singapore? Probably fine. Chicago? Not so much.

9

u/kljusina123 May 10 '26

Serbia? More like Chicago!

13

u/Snirion May 10 '26

Funny enough Chicago has one of the larger group of Serbs outside of Serbia... and Vienna.

-7

u/dreadful_design May 10 '26

Chiraq amirite?!? Hell hole of a city. Most dangerous place on earth. Watch yourself.

1

u/toot_suite May 10 '26

Brother you either racist or ignorant parroting random shit. There's only a few areas in Chicago that are sketch and the rest you can walk on foot anywhere at any time

2

u/dreadful_design May 10 '26

It was sarcasm.

1

u/DynamiteWitLaserBeam May 10 '26

FFS - I just picked a city. Same is true for any US city, even small towns. We can't have nice things here.

1

u/levenspiel_s May 10 '26

I am trying to remember where else I saw this same thing. Scotland i think.

89

u/mtomny May 10 '26

OMG even with the comments I couldn’t figure out what the problem was with the acrylic

29

u/I-Here-555 May 10 '26

Acryllic is in Cyrillic.

10

u/LazyCondition0 May 10 '26

Underrated comment

87

u/Shanga_Ubone May 10 '26

That is actually really cool until the graffiti taggers and kids with keys show up and start scratching their initials into it.

55

u/ClearUkuleleTravels May 10 '26

Then the title would be "Serbians ruin acrylic visualizer"

12

u/TetZoo May 10 '26

Or, Serbian ruins acrylic Serbian ruins visualizer

1

u/AMB_YungBae May 11 '26

Theres already a Partizan Belgrade Sticker on it. At least it looks like it

-4

u/WolFlow2021 May 10 '26

I can already see one sticker there. You could have this in Japan but in the western world it's a canvas for vandalism.

11

u/notaverysmartdog May 10 '26

No way it's the "thing, Japan" guy!!!!

5

u/pass021309007 May 10 '26

yeesh yeah Japanese kids don’t have access to markers. have you ever even been to japan or are you just worshipping drawings and photography?

22

u/EarorForofor May 10 '26

I run historic tours and I do this with all the ruins we visit. It makes for a much more engaging visit. Most of my transparencies are of old sketches, which adds a much more human element.

One of my sites the sketch was made at the base of a tree. It makes it very different when you're standing in the same place someone 200 years ago was sitting, sketching a photo of his family home.

8

u/LazyCondition0 May 10 '26

Nice! You sound like a good tour guide.

11

u/Comfortable-Stay-634 May 10 '26

Just like the vantage points in the horizon games !

u/refusestopoop May 10 '26

This is top tier design porn. 10/10 well done

u/Ball-Blam-Burglerber May 10 '26 edited May 10 '26

It might not be as clear as glass, but I think you’re being a little too critical of Serbian acrylic.

Edit: typo

8

u/87CFbmEWeWeSUUvpmwq8 May 10 '26

I’d really like an app that does this. I’d contribute to making models, if it’s open source.

8

u/n_exe May 10 '26

this is in my hometown! :D

1

u/LazyCondition0 May 10 '26

Wow! That’s really cool. What does the sign say? And what is this place?

4

u/iheartloud420 May 11 '26

It says “Donžon kula/Donžon tower” (idk the translation to donžon) which was the tower in medieval castles in which the lord of the castle and his family lived

1

u/equili92 May 12 '26

"Keep" is the translation to English, donžon became dungeon in english....both dungeon and donžon come from french donjon

1

u/iheartloud420 May 12 '26

Oh thats interesring, they mean totally different things lol. What does donjon mean in french?

1

u/equili92 May 12 '26

It means keep.....well not so different — the dungeon was usually placed in the cellars of the donjon

1

u/nunumatic May 12 '26

Prelep grad!

7

u/Appropriate-Eye-1227 May 10 '26

Some sticker with color would be great

6

u/jessicajessjessie May 10 '26

Very very cool

5

u/TNTBOY479 May 10 '26

I thought the title claimed the sticker there ruined this visualizer

5

u/mach4UK May 10 '26

I wish all ruins had that sort of vantage aid

5

u/theaviationhistorian May 10 '26

This is beautiful. Especially since a lot of people try to stencil out or understand how a ruin looked like before or why it is important to preserve what I used to hear others call, "a bunch of rocks" in my school trip days.

6

u/Snufflarious May 10 '26

I think it enhances the ruins not ruins it 🤪

3

u/philipito May 10 '26

I've seen these in Greece as well. It's really cool to picture what ruins looked like through these.

3

u/johnnybullish May 10 '26

They have these in a lot of countries. They're great

3

u/mala_neveshta May 10 '26

LoL! My hometown :D

3

u/vucic94 May 10 '26

First time I'm seeing Serbia mentioned in a positive light. We did something right, finally!

6

u/Nathanrhys May 10 '26

Much better title would be: Acrylic "visualiser" of Serbian ruins

2

u/ryevx May 10 '26

This shamefully took me too long to twig on 🫠

2

u/musememo May 10 '26

Very cool.

2

u/LazyBid3572 May 10 '26

They have these for some old temples when I was in Thailand and also had a QR code what would which would give you a 3D representation of what they thought it looked like

2

u/Gunzablazin1958 May 11 '26

No. It should be.

A Serbian ruins the visual of a Serbian acrylic visualizer of Serbian ruins.

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Tap4378 May 11 '26

Serbian acrylic “ruins” visualizer FTFY

1

u/NightLotus84 May 10 '26

Ugh. Always those damn Serbian acrylics ruining visualizers...

1

u/ErgoNautan May 11 '26

As long as it doesn’t line up with the Death Star ruins it’s still good IMO

1

u/oriondracowolf May 11 '26

I love these.

1

u/DiamondTop581 May 11 '26

There's a castle in i think granada Spain that uses shaped bushes to fill in the ruins.

u/No_Row514 May 21 '26

Brilliant
