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.

People like this deem themselves great drivers, and everyone around them can't drive. The officer should have taken his license instead.

These are the people you see doing 20 under the limit in the middle lane for 5 minutes (because they're looking at their phone) while everyone passes them, then suddenly accelerate as they realize they haven't been paying attention

This dude is definitely driving a truck, he’s got a camo hat on the dash, he’s taking photos of a receipt while driving. And he posts shit like this

This dude is doing 90 on the highway and switching lanes last minute while tailgating people, he’s definitely not cruising below the speed limit

You actually see that a lot. You're behind a car and it's slow and swirling a lot. Suddenly they speed up when they realise that they haven't checked the road in a mile or two.

Yep. When they're acting really weird I try to glance at the driver as I pass them. Often see them looking down, or even just looking at their phone on the dashboard

The weirdest "new trend" i've seen is that people use their phones to navigate and their car entertainment system to watch tv shows.

When i started driving i thought that changing a radio channel or something can be pretty distracting. Little did i know that people in the future are worse drivers and they watch tv when they drive

My ex would play chess while driving.
