The one on the left is an album cover and that style was very popular in the 2000s. Especially in cheesy sci-fi shows (looking at you Stargate Atlantis…)

The one on the right though, that’s just what cell phone and cheap digital camera pictures looked like when you posted them on MySpace.

I think you're left/right ~~confused~~ good at. The left one is the cover of the Evanescence album Fallen from 2003. The one on the right is Boxxy.

I was there Gandalf.

Man, what happened to that girl? Hope she's doing okay, former internet stardom can be tough

[–] CallMeButtLove@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I seem to recall she hosted some web show for at least a while, but not as her boxxy persona. She seemed well adjusted.

Whats a bit amusing is that abpit 10 years seperated Evanacence at their peak and Boxxy. These really are not even from the same "era".

[–] BlackVenom@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That's Boxxy, and you don't use that adjective for Boxxy. That's prob 480p early YouTube.

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago

I recognized her, but for the record most cheap digital cameras in the 2000s up to and including the original iPhone were VGA standard resolution which is 640x480. So everything was 480p back then.

Yeah 1.2 megapixel cameras were the norm for a bit. The processing power to stabilize and focus fix all our slight movements people don't think about now with newer phones all came through.

[–] untorquer@quokk.au 7 points 4 days ago

Stabilization, focus 🤣

You held that shit still and lived with infinite DOF

[–] atomicbocks@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I’m dyslexic… hang on I’ll fix it…

No worries, I guessed it was funny mistake, nothing else

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago

You wear your watch in your hand?
