Low-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

By "casual" I think they are referring to the garment assembly process.

@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.

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

@sutter And the best thing about Wikimedia content is you can click through the details of the image and see precisely where user Nicoli used exactly that as reference, citing that image along with work by Themightyquill on "trouser parts" and "shirt types".

God bless attributed collaboration and derivative work.

That's so that the aliens will recognize us — even with our habit of covering our bodies to "conceal/distort/hide" our appearance.

@sutter She's allowed to have boobs but not cleavage, so she has to wear a camisole or something underneath because her shirt is low-cut. Or maybe it's one of those weird triangle things that only covers cleavage.
