A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I remember sharing porn on floppy disks in highschool. I didn't have Internet yet so a few of my friends were gods among men.

Click here if you're over 18?

Not much has changed there. Unless you live in a nanny state of "small government" and "save the children". Bitch you turned out fine! Let em rub one out in peace.

So this guy I knew was trading porn. Mostly pics, a few low-res clips. Some warez here and there, too. Most people did not have fast internet yet, let alone a CD burner. He'd lug around these large wooden crates filled to the brim with home-made porn collection CDs. It was totally out there.

Son: Mom! We need more ink!

Mom: What!? I just bought ink last week!

Mom: What have you been printing!?

Son: IDK!? School Stuff!?

Mom: Okay sweetie. I'll get you some more from the Office Max!

I remember printing out pictures that, in hindsight, were Photoshopped, but it was before I knew what Photoshop was. I learned a lot between 2000 and 2005.

Her head wasn't glued on quite right.
If AI figures out fingers, we will really be in trouble.

Or that fire doesn't belong in a tent I guess .

I think a few months ago I was hearing "GPT 4.0 has finally figured out fingers" and seeing examples of correctly generated fingers.

Still seeing AI images with fucked fingers, though. Guess GPT still isn't that good at it, or maybe they're using some budget AI.
