Ope or Nope

Ope: Cobblestones

Old Detroit used to have aesthetic cobblestone streets. Awful for cars but peak vibes… maybe we should bring them back.

Nope: Pavement

Pure efficiency for cars, but with no aura. Will never beat brick or cobblestone when it comes to pure looks.

Ope: Greenland

Honestly, Greenland should be part of Michigan. The upper, upper peninsula, in island form.

Nope: Denmark

Lovely country, terrible diplomats. They could use a little more midwest hospitality.

The image shows the vibrant red and white national flag of Denmark waving against a cloudy blue sky.

Ope: Claude

This AI with a french-sounding name is much more pleasant than the others, and can even code software for you.

The image introduces 'Claude', an AI assistant for brainstorming, creating, and learning, providing key details about its capabilities and features.

Nope: ChatGPT

We’ve had it up to here with this sassy chatbot, it’s rapidly fallen behind the competition.

The image shows the ChatGPT web interface with various options for users to interact with the AI assistant, such as designing a programming game, writing a text, explaining nostalgia, planning a mental health day, and messaging ChatGPT.

Ope: Detroit Flag

A serious flag for a serious city, with cool nods to Detroit’s original french heritage.

Nope: Grand Rapids Flag

Grand Rapids needs to reject this amorphous blob and mandate usage of their other official flag.

Ope: English Street Signs

Street signs should be in our common English language.

Nope: Arabic Street Signs

Are these really necessary? Learn some basic English if you’re living in America.

Ope: Kung Fu

You just know the training at these old Detroit Kung Fu gyms was insane.

Nope: Jiu Jitsu

Sure it might be the best martial art in the world, but it can’t compete on vibes alone.

Ope: Tiki Bars

Catch us feeling tropical in the tiki bar all winter.

Nope: Wine Bars

Men used to go to war… you sit in a wine bar and make tasteful banter.

Ope: Long Ice Scraper

True Michiganders know you need the real deal when ice hits in winter.
