A picture or two would have been helpful to spice up the story.
- rosywoozlechan 6y agoThere are pictures in the article?
- omnibrain 6y agoThey don‘t load on iPhone.
- kilroy123 6y agoAlso didn't work for me on iPhone/Safari.
- bdash 6y agoIt looks like the article attempts to embed images in different formats for different browsers, but the source images aren't of the image type they expect which results in broken images for some browsers. <picture> <source srcset="/img/r/p/500x600/8862.jpg.webp?v=1599098401" type="image/webp"> <source srcset="/img/r/p/500x600/8862.jpg.avif?v=1599098401" type="image/avif"> <source srcset="/img/r/p/500x600/8862.jpg?v=1599098401" type="image/jpeg"> <img loading="lazy" src="/img/r/p/500x600/8862.jpg?v=1599098401" alt="Medieval Castle Latrine" class="in_text_image" width="500" height="375"/> </picture> Firefox and Google Chrome both select the image with the image/webp content type, and those URLs do appear to be WebP images. Safari selects the images with the image/jpeg content type, but those URLs appear to point to AVIF images (i.e., image data encoded using AV1 and stored in an HEIF container). AVIF is only supported by Google Chrome. This results in the images appearing as broken placeholders in Safari.
- peterbmarks 6y agoThanks for that. I'm using Safari on macOS and got no images in the article - the ads work flawlessly though. Clicking on them works. I assumed the site had been Hackernews'd
- 082349872349872 6y agohttps://www.google.com/search?q=castle+toilet&tbm=isch https://www.google.com/search?q=castle+toilet&tbm=isch works in my bubble
- pbhjpbhj 6y agoOne of the top images for me is a Roman communal toilet, fyi. AIR I've only ever seen single occupancy toilets in UK castles?
- beders 6y agoChristianity: Be ashamed of your naked body at all times.
- Shared404 6y agoPretty sure the response was saying that not all the images were accurate.
- NateEag 6y agoModern American Evangelicals: Be ashamed of your naked body at all times. Christianity: include a whole book about romance and sex in your sacred text (the Song of Songs). I really wish people would read the Bible before opining on what Christianity says.
- emmelaich 6y agoNot even all evangelicals of course. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Carter_Stapleton https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruth_Carter_Stapleton befriended Larry Flynt.
- NateEag 6y agoYes, you're quite right. I should have limited that claim further. Not all modern American evangelicals are ashamed of sex. Befriending someone does not in any way require that you approve of their choices, though. I would guess Ruth did not approve of Larry's choice to produce pornography, as it's the antithesis of the traditional (approving) Christian view of sex, where sex is deeply interpersonal and sacred, so much so that it can only function as it's meant to in a long-term, committed monogamous relationship, a.k.a. marriage. Pornography turns an individual's sexuality into a performative falsehood that's then commoditized - few approaches to sex could be more opposed.

- gherkinnn 6y agoI still have that book. As fascinating today as it was as a child. Detail, clarity and humour. Simply gorgeous.
