This image is ancient. That may just be an artifact, ai generation at that time as a lot more trippy. I think this is before deep dream.

I think someone ran the image through an ai upscaler. The textures on the rails an stuff are too smooth and the edges are overly sharpened.

My samsung phone does this level of overprocessing when taking pictures and I wish I could figure out how to turn that off.

I think the second pinky is actually a white line in the rock.

I think if you use a different camera app, like one of the gcam mods, it geta rid of Samsung's terrible processing

I haven't seen it before, so I assumed.

I have a vague memory of seeing this in the mid-late 2000’s

It's old enough that I don't actually know where is originally from. Another use posted something from over five years ago, and a comment is saying the image is "old enough to get its learner's permit". Maybe a hyperbole but that's what it feels like.

i tried to find its origin but it's everywhere going way back, and it's the thumbnail for a video, like a video compilation, but the video isn't it.
