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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Oh, right... I forgot about that one because it's also the word for a pest in my area, double whammy slur

Apparently it's also now a slur for fake rednecks? So that's nice.

And so the world turns. What was old is new again 😭😭😭

That was especially hilarious when I learned about the "whig" party in early US history.

"Holy shit! They were saying that back then??"

I'm not sure which one you mean. Wiggas? That's the one they used in Sweden.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but mostly hard r around my area.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I legit don't know what that means. Not American.

Oh wait. You mean the ending 'r'?

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Oof I watched a clip from clerks 2 the other day where they drop the hard R multiple times and wow I did not remember them going that hard.
