SutterLow-key lost it when I noticed the main image on the Wikipedia page for business casual attire is just an edit of the nude figures from the Pioneer plaque

hnapelWhat does @vagina_museum think?
Also aliens may come to explore this situation, was Carl Sagan a puritan? So many questions...
@hnapel @sutter @vagina_museum the version of the story I'm aware of is that Sagan wanted her to have the vagina, but the suits said no.
The Witch of Crow Briar@BestGirlGrace @hnapel @sutter @vagina_museum I mean⦠faces have apparently become a bridge too far for Business Casual, good thing the Pioneer mission left when it did.
Vagina Museum@BestGirlGrace @hnapel @sutter This is quite right, with a touch of nodding to Ancient Greece https://masto.ai/@vagina_museum/110747221983351656
Jon Gilbert@sutter ....HUH, so it is.

Brian Grinter@sutter @NewtonMark first alien civilisation to find the Pioneer probe will complain about receiving unsolicited nudes and wipe us outβ¦

The plaque has instructions of which planet to target and which species is to blame for all the mess.

Geoff Coffey@sutter Wow I hope the aliens arenβt offended. Not sure what the dress code is for first contact.

Daniil Baturin@beadsland @sutter Maybe I should make a virtual paper doll game where one could dress the Pioneer plaque characters in various outfits.
Kagan MacTane (he/him)@dmbaturin @beadsland @sutter Where do I subscribe for updates on this project, or to be informed when it's ready for viewing?

@kagan @beadsland @sutter I guess follow meβ¦ I really do think it would be fun to make and if like to make it, but I canβt promise any sort of a timeframe, to be honest with you.
@kagan @beadsland @sutter Iβm also terrible at drawing so Iβll need someone else to make the artwork for the outfits.

Jef Poskanzer@sutter Was hoping the replies would include them dressed in other outfits.

Rick Gundlach@flowerpot @unlofl @sutter Except in the plaque, the male of the species is waving. Surprised 70s feminists didn't protest that.
CΓ©leste (Squelette cool)@hoofin according to the Criticism section of the Wikipedia page for the plaque, it has been criticised by feminists (but maybe not in the 70s if that's what you mean?) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_plaque#Criticism
@SqueletteCool @flowerpot @unlofl @sutter Yes. I am surprised that, at the time, no one caught that it's only the male of the species making a gesture. I remember this plaque when it was going into orbit. The biggest issue was they had no clothes on.
Neil KandalgaonkarThey did protest it at the time, but the whole thing was hurriedly put together without public involvement
Carl Sagan was involved in the plaque's creation, and his wife at the time did the drawings. They were aware of how unrepresentative it was, both for gender and race and even biology (the woman's genitals are a blank space), but thought this image would be both interpretable by aliens, and approvable by NASA bureaucrats

@sutter His has a line that starts as a crease and ends up as a seam. And what's with the angled sleeve ends?
By "casual" I think they are referring to the garment assembly process.

Julia Clement@sutter Yes, If you go to File:Business casual male & female(.)svg on commons it lists the source svgs including https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Business_casual_male_%26_female.svg
The interesting thing about this is that Carl Sagan 's original on the NASA site was a jpeg, there's no note on how it was converted to an svg, but it looks too clean to be a machine translation. Being uploaded in 2013 rules out it being done by an LLM.

Colin (@ Anthrocon)@sutter honestly a great idea.
The figures are public domain AND I bet that went through a zillion rounds of NASA meetings to end up with the nominate cisgendered-appearing couple.

C++ Wage SlaveI agree that it looks that way, but in fact Carl Sagan and Frank Drake designed the plaques in a matter of weeks.
