dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

You should run this through a JPEG compression algorithm a few more times. I can still read the text.

Imagetoolbox has an image quality slider which I set to the lowest. I spammed some noisy filters before that and saved to jpeg2000 -> mozjpeg -> jpeg ->jpg. The process was mostly vibes based. They recently added an image to ascii art feature but I don't know how to post it here without it becoming a jumbled mess sicko-wistful
