people really dont understand what 'rarely' means. same with 'random'. if you give people random they get really butt-hurt regarding induced patterns.

If you want to be depressed about humanity even more than you probably already are, browse the alien and UFO subs. So many sad, gullible individuals there.

Straight line rarely occur in nature
Maybe this is one of those "rarely occured line"?

Straight lines occur in nature regularly. What utter nonsense.

The original MOC image can be found here. This image in the post is like the very top of that strip of images.
What we're seeing here is our brains playing tricks on us. The "top" of the square is just wind swept edge of the crater that's being imaged. The shadowy line going from the "top" corner to the bottom right corner isn't even in the original image, it's an artifact that's cropped up from the image being transmitted over and over and over again on the internet. Same with our line from the "top corner" to the left corner.
The bottom corner is just some rocks that happen to be in the image as well. You can literally see they are different than the wind swept hills of the crater. I hate that people lack the ability for critical thinking skills. Especially when all of this can be confirmed by a two second Google search.

I think the addition to the image was done so maliciously. It doesn't look like artifacting at all to me

It's pareidolia, which has been a problem with Martian imagery for a long time.

The opportunity to share on Lemmy what annoyed so much, that you left Reddit in the first place? ;)
I, er… seem to miss the logic behind this one. Sorry!?

Probably the annoyingly large number of people taking it seriously.
Honestly, I still use reddit for certain niche communities, but FFS nobody should be using it without limiting to your subscriptions and culling the biggest stupidest subreddits from those subscriptions.
To a lesser extent, I would argue that goes for Lemmy too.

A valid reason, to which I can fully agree, especially to the last point. ;) And I always try to avoid algorithms wherever possible: for example by sorting the posts from subscribed subs and users (and from only those) by their posting order ("latest" on reddit) only. That might be the reasons that posts like the above never came across my path - neither on reddit, nor in the fediverse or …

If you draw a line with 2 break points where the direction the line is going in is randomized and we say there's a 5° tolerance, the odds of getting 2 right angles forming 3/4 of what looks like a rectangle are (5/360)^2, so 1 in 5184. I don't know how many formations follow that pattern on Mars and obviously the distribution of angles chosen wouldn't be uniform, but that's a very low number. I bet that's not even the only box-like terrain present on Mars.

It's just Cydonia all over again. Back then it was a "face" (spoiler; it was not a face).
-
Its a coverup, obviously! They have covered up the large obvious structures with Mars sand to obscure them from us, NASA and the shadow gov don't want you to know!
