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.

My secret trick?

I've been using the same stove for a quarter of a century. Was here when I moved in.

The trick is: the knobs don't come off. (In the extremely unlikely chance they might come off, I, like, just put 'em back in. I guess. Not that it happens!)

Looks like they don't build them like they used to!

Kids today just don't know the joys of sticking paperclips into the knob-less posts and then trying to guess what each stop on the knob does.

They do build them like they used to.

But if your devices had broken down in the past like all the other devices from that time, you wouldn't be telling this story. Classic survivorship bias.
