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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Serving sizes are always a fucking joke.

Nutritional stats per 100g is the only way

Reminder: Pam Cooking Spray is zero calorie, zero fat, and zero carb

Because there are 746 Servings in a single can of Pam. A serving size of 1/4 a second - which is small enough I'm not sure most people could do it. Just enough to round down from a tiny fraction to zero.

Not a great example. Cooking spray is for making a pan or cover non-stick. You ingest very little of it.

You've obviously not spent enough time around gym bros. I have on multiple occasions overheard conversations about using it as a butter substitute because, "...it has no calories. "

Tell them it is just expensive canola oil and have them switch, knowing that canola has realistic serving sizes.

Tic-tacs say they are "sugar free" even though they're almost entirely made of sugar, they're just small enough that they fall under the report regulations.
