@drunkenmadman K-mart? Haven’t seen one in years. Gone the way of Ames, Bradlees, Woolworths, Service Merchandise, Toys r Us, Radio Shack.

@arnandegans it is a pair of objects and I think its purpose is to just… exist?

@yestergearpc this is Australia. K-Mart is ubiquitous.

@klp @drunkenmadman

If you can't place those objects so they are in the shape of a 2, then I think you may need to repeat ... all the grades.

@drunkenmadman for a moment I thought that this would have been a showcase of something from one of the last US based Kmart but then I saw it wasn't lol

Glad that Kmart AU separated from US cuz US management and owners pretty much killed off the brand
