man-made

All around me are homes festooned with terrifying man-made skeletons, goblins, clowns and witches.

By the 1950s, a motel and man-made lake had been added.

But this impending national disaster is the man-made sort.

The hotel will rise 12 stories on Stadium Drive, across a man-made lake from the 70,000-seat stadium, which is home to L.A.’s two NFL teams, the Rams and Chargers.

This is a form of cognitive bias called the “appeal to nature fallacy,” which is the false assumption that “natural” chemicals or products are inherently less toxic or dangerous than their man-made counterparts.
