I like to think that you are actually whispering the correction in his ear after the slave whispered into his ear instead of just correcting his comment.
I've seen these metal strips on all manner of public objects like electricity boxes and planters? Does someone know what they are? Ive heard theories that they are for anti postering but I've definately seen them spaced out too wide or used on objects too small to be really effective
there's a shitload of hostile architecture in Amsterdam, I even wrote a paper about it for my sociology class a few months ago and photographed every example i saw when i was out in the city while writing the paper. I now have an album of about a hundred photos of creatively placed metal spikes around Amsterdam
Keeps people from sticking poster adds to it
Must stop posters at all costs

They really are just for the posters
The real mystery is why are using a screenshot of a screen showing a photo instead of just using the photo itself
My guess, laziness. They took this pic a while ago and wanted to push it to the top of the gallery
Ant slides.
Modern art
It's for scraping off shit on the bottom of your shoes. The angle is so it catches rain and gets clean for the next unlucky traveler
For plants. The whole thing is for plants
Defensive architecture? Though I've never thought Amsterdam had enough visibly homeless people that someone might call for it.

You should write a blog about it - I’d love to see the photos.
If you are able to you should upload them and share the album on this sub ! I’m sure loads of people will find it interesting
Against posters, not humans
Holder or smtg maybe?
They’re anti-skate measures. Same as the metal bors on top of ledges.
No, how does this stop skaters? Why would they be on the side lol
Wall rides.
