This immaculately turned out Parisian had better turn out to be:
a) The actual jewel thief making an unassuming getaway in the ensuing chaos.
b) The gentleman detective whom the gendarmerie grudingly brought onto the case.

A moveable type sign on which disjointed lettering of various sizes and typefaces has been used to spell out the message "Following the methane events of last week, herbivores are confined to the quarantine pens until the next venting cycle."

A vintage notice which is composed largely of words that are either near-homonyms of English words or (in the cases of the longer words) actual English words that are rendered in a faux-German spelling. As such, the sign is generally comprehensible by many English speakers regardless of whether they have any fluency in German, but mostly incomprehensible to German speakers with no knowledge of English. The sign includes contact details for the Hegenscheidt Corporation of America. "Achtung!!! Alle touristen und non-technischen lookens peepers! Das Kontrollen Gepanel und Pushengebutton is nicht fur gerfingerpoken und mittengrabben. Oderwise Is easy schnappen der springenwerk, blowenfusen und poppencorken mit spitzensparken. Der machine is diggen by experten only. Is nicht fur gerwerken by das dummkopfen. Das rubbernecken sightseenen keepen das cottenpicken hands in das pockets. So Relaxen und watchen das blinkenlights."

There are settings you can use to turn this off, which are of course opt-in by default.
A screenshot of Firefox's setting screen, showing the settings for the Home screen. The post draws attention to the fact that the option for 'sponsored shortcuts' is enabled by default.

Welp, there's the ever more apparent signs of enshittification of Firefox. Thanks Mozilla.
A row of five icons from Mozilla Firefox's home screen. The second and third icon are not ones the user placed there, but are instead two "sponsored" links to advertisers' websites.

The original Zeiss logo!
The original Zeiss Ikon logo in black on a white background. The words Zeiss and Ikon are surrounded by a black line frame, which is shaped to suggest image magnification lenses.

The red may fade, but the spirit lives on.
A faded poster advertises a 1st of May march. The red colour has mostly faded away, leaving only a grey tinted picture of flags and the white date, along with a star.
