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.

That reminds me of a thought I already had as a teenager. We perceive the world through our senses. But there could be countless other "things" happening around us which we simply aren't able to perceive with our limited senses.

There are.

We can't see magnetism. Or most of the electromagnetic spectrum.

We can't hear too low frequency or too high frequency sounds.

We can't perceive gravity (other than by its effect on our body), or the strong or weak nuclear forces.

There's a flood of neutrinos constantly going through us without us noticing.

There are whole ecosystems of minuscule animals and bacteria living on and in us, which we can't see.

We can't even see the very air we're breathing.

Yeah, I skipped this part of the thought. So we know there are and then there could be countless others we have no idea of.
