    Another person took a deep dive explaining that, but for me a little imperfection adds value and personality to a person or a product because I can

    • tell them from thousands of replicas and feel like I have an intimete knowledge of them;
    • imagine some story behind it, some depth and a promise of more;
    • accept it, and finally get along with my own imperfections as they are too parts of me.

    I liked these photoes too, but I found it also works nice if you extrapolate it to humans, to history, to nature, to the universe. How these little weird details make us remember things and adore objects and events in some way. It’s like pre-LLM critique of generative AIs.

    And vodka-pizza-mattress can feel a bit personal too because it all carries a mark of a being living there and inviting you to see this part of their life when they are vulnerable, idk.
