Love it! Speaks to the human need for genuine connection. By doing these sorts of activities, we help reinforce the fabric the binds all of us to each other. We need more things like this that allow us to simply be “humans” together.

Vouched for this, b/c it was flagged? I found it interesting, at least, so thanks for posting it. Might have been better to just link to the Reddit thread (https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/aggom4/my_mom_painted_this_and_said_no_one_would_like_it/ https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/aggom4/my_mom_painted...), but perhaps Twitter's ability to inline the images might make it easier to read. Also, don't miss the webapp DAG that someone made showing the tree of paintings: http://nubleh.github.io/i_painted/ http://nubleh.github.io/i_painted/ Edit: and it's [flagged][dead] again. Can someone care to say why flagging this is more appropriate than just not upvoting it? (Edit edit: It's alive again.)

Awfully clickbaity title Alternative: Redditors form a chain painting Art

  As the one who posted the link, I should explain that given twitter threads have no title, I simply copied the first line of the first tweet as the title. I see your point, though.

Regarding the recent discussion about how the Internet isn't weird or fun anymore, this is definitely a valid counterexample.

There was a big HN thread yesterday about how the internet isn't weird anymore, and yet here we are.

It's a bit ironic watching this get flagged the day after the top HN story the entire day was a post bemoaning that the internet is no longer fun or weird: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19038327 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19038327

Reminded me of zoomquilt (https://zoomquilt.org/ https://zoomquilt.org/) a collaborative infinite zoomable 'painting' from the earlier internet.
