A few years ago, I needed to throw away an ancient top-loaded VCR that i owned (yeah, I own a VCR, still). An rare thing (at least for this day & age). Wood panels, odd buttons, mic input, weird plugs on the back. Not something you see often these days.
I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to properly dispose of it. So i simply left it on the curb in front of my house, so i'd remember to take care of it later.
When i came back, there were two of the same, rare-ass VCRs standing next to another.
Can someone try to figure out a reasonable explanation for this?

- It's called art, look it up.deadsperm
- Oh, it was art all along? I get it.jagara
- Did you get it wet or feed it after midnight?Morning_star
- UV light exposure mixed with 5g signal helped it's atom's split resulting in a duplication at a molecular level into two identical VCR's.shapesalad
- Would be awesome to customise it inside into a kick as bread toaster.shapesalad
- Alex and Chad are twin VCRs separated as babies when their parents are killed by a crime boss...calculator
- ... Twenty-five years later, they join forces to exact revenge on the people who killed their family.calculator
- Still have that Renegade box set?

- @nb haha... i should have :)jagara
- you started a movement, later that day, those same VCRs appeared on curbs all over the world.ESKEMA
- They live in packs in the wilddmay
- On a serious note, a good explanation is you had a neighbour with an identical model, and seeing yours, he also got rid of it.ESKEMA
- either that or you were drunkESKEMA
- I wanna push every button, and twiddle every knob on this thing.
God, I love physical interfaces.Continuity - This is a very early version of a VCR. I bet it's from the early 80s.It's way bulkier than the ones I had and toploaders were out of fashion by the mid 80s.CyBrainX
- I don't even know what those knobs on the right do.CyBrainX
- Listen to scarabin.garbage
- Well, I'm fairly certain one of those knobs would be to adjust the tape tracking, for when the tape goes a bit funky.Continuity

- Reuniting old lovers. destined to duplicate together.shellie
- Hey baby.... wanna make a copy?shellie
- Evidence of the multiverse. Agreed. Check the serial numbers. They match.misterhow
- This should go into conspiracy of the dayMondoMorphic
- @shellie lol, stole the thread.garbage
- Knobs on the side are for UHF / VHF channel selection :)jagara
- physical interfaces = satisfactionapi
- How can you justify just leaving shit on the curb? do you live in a third world country?ArchitectofFate
- @ArchitectofFate no, Denmark. And i left it there for a few hours, to dispose of it properly, later. In the appropriate "electronics" bin.jagara
- I disposed of 2 VCRs that day
