I wanted a 2000s/ASCII-era vibe sign to put up when I have extra bread to give away, and my wife came through in spades

I like it a lot, gonna tile it onto four pages and call it a day

Edit: I completed it with a small handwritten note at the bottom:

Awesome!

What does that mean?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Ha ha, nothing but basking in the fact that you've been chosen.

I'm downloading this so I too can add people to the Best of Lemmy

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Please do. I think people want to see what others think are the best of lemmy.

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago

It means that if you're ever in a civil court trial against someone who hasn't been added to the Best of Lemmy, you win by default.

Quality meme skills. I'd say marry her, but you already did.

[–] XaviKohlrabi@piefed.social 13 points 1 week ago

graphic design is clearly her passion

[–] Coupable@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

It's like a visual representation of the average persons William Shatner impression

[–] Major_Tsiom@fedia.io 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You took too much, man. Too much, too much.

She did a really good job with with the shadow, it really invokes the echo from the original.

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

She did an excellent job capturing the mixture emotions I wanted, 85% enthusiasm/15% abject desperation

[–] Ziggurat@jlai.lu 9 points 1 week ago

Love the creativity,

Miss the word-art era

Only thing I can think to make it better would be a paper clip with googly eyes.

How much has Microsoft paid you for this thread? :)

[–] gon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 week ago

It's really good HAHAHA Very charismatic.

Microsoft Word '97, huh? I liked that one. You knew where you stood with Microsoft Word '97.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You can come bake at my house if you need more kitchen space.

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I'm coming, friend_of_satan

[–] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 week ago

Your wife seems like she's a badass

[–] diaphragmwp@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

"2000s" != "ASCII-era". But cool regardless.

Free fresh sourdough bread!? Is your wife's baker seeing anyone??

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I do batches of 3-4 at a time, and I'm a spoiled brat who won't eat it past like two days old, so i have LOTS to get rid of

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The evil truth of sourdough is that it takes about the same amount of time and effort to make four loaves as it does to make one.

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

Exactly, the only limiting factors are the size of my oven, refrigerator, and how often my wife will tolerate the house being hot as balls
