Wow, it took me a good ten minutes to wrap my head around this map, and i'm still trying to grasp it. But I could have sworn Jack in the Box was just a Southern thing. I didn't even realize they had them in California. Apparently In-N-Out isn't the dominant chain in SoCal? And I disagree with Wendy's being more popular in southwestern Ohio. I live here. As a matter of fact I have a hard time believing any of those chains are more popular than McDonald's anywhere except where there simply isn't a McDonald's, and I'll bet there's a whole lot of them everywhere. I don't like the map, I think it's a bad way to illustrate popularity and just plain wrong in most cases.Not really a photo, but a pretty interesting image nonetheless, I think it'd make for a good painting/print design.

Well Sonic is headquartered in Oklahoma City, so that somewhat explains the Midwest. A common joke is that a town is not big league if it does not have a Sonic, as a Sonic is located in just about every small town you drive through in Oklahoma. Braum's is another chain headquarted in Oklahoma City and I would go to Braum's before any of the others on the list; though, Braum's is quite a bit more regional being mostly in Oklahoma and Texas and parts of Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas.
According to the Jack in the Box website, there only Jack in the Boxes in Oklahoma are in Ardmore, Ada, and Durant. There is also about to be a Jack in the Box in Norman.
I have not eaten at a Jack in the Box or an In-N-Out.

That picture of the stealth plane is pretty cool 👍
Is it 'shopped though?
It's levels have been edited in Photoshop, along with every other photo in this thread. Any published photo whatsoever has been touched up in Photoshop, it's not a big secret.
Check this blog. All of its photos involve irregular lighting, which what makes your photo decent.

It's not the best but it'll get the gist of it across.

Ah ok. I just thought the plane looked "stuck on" to that picture of that American city which I can't remember the name of...
But anyway, I guess its real. It is plausible for sure.

I think there's a bit of a mix up between who is talking about the ekranoplan (Caspian sea monster), and who is talking about the B2...

That B2 image is immense.
I have a thing for stealth planes.
OK, look at the cockpit of the B2. Directly above it is an old cathedral; look at the spire. Now look at the corner of the green glass building just above and to the left of the gold ball on top of the cathedral spire.
That used to be my office.

Ji Yong-Ho's - Tire Art
Art and cars is always a tricky subject. We saw what happened when BMW selected art world mega star Jeff Koons to design their next art car. Long story short, confusion, blinking eyes and a whole lot of chin scratching. However, we think in the case of South Korean artist Ji Yong-Ho, there's just going to be nodding heads and wide smiles. Why? Just look at how amazing his work is.
For those of you that are forced by your significant others to watch Project Runway ("Hi, honey!") no doubt remember last week when style guru Tim Gunn sent them all to the hardware store and contestant Jay won over the judges with his pants made out of contrasting garbage bags. Don't ask how, but we see a similarity (or are just hot to confess that we watch Project Runway in the most manly way possible). Either way, the New York-based Yong-Ho is using old tires to craft his creations. We enthusiastically approve.

You should check the art of Brian Jungen, who makes Native Canadian art with consumerist objects, like shoes & bags. Here's a piece of his with lawn chairs:
