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.

MODERATORS
 

I left /c/Risa because the moderator there was letting his own personal feelings color rules, removing posts that violated no clearly written rules, and creating new rules without even running it past the community or asking how they feel about it.

The moderator of this community is guilty of that same behavior.

I'll be over on !whitepeopletwitter@sh.itjust.works.

The original version of this was a little kid, not a grandpa. I've seen this a few times now, changing a small part of an old post to make it make less sense, is this a thing now?

is this a thing now?

This is how jokes have been ever since humans stated telling jokes

So a dog walks into a bar...

Exactly repeating a 42 word post and changing 1 word?

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 9 points 2 years ago

Verbal joke is the og meme, so yes.

Worse, it doesn't only happen to jokes: This Video Will Make You Angry

A significant number of people seem to have fully embraced the nonsensical "tee hee, I'm so random" scene kid humor from 2004 MySpace. This one is pretty mild. It gets worse and less funny.

Oh... Cool... Hold on I need to get my spork!

The worst one in memory is when my cousin said out of nowhere (to a group of us discussing something), "Haha, yeah, and then he drives his car through a window and lands in a Hot Pocket."

He deserved the crickets.

Edit: I actually generated some AI images a few months back to try to illustrate whatever the fuck he was talking about.

[–] Letstakealook@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Those images are great.

[–] Dagnet@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

It's a great responsibility

The plot of Spiderverse 3?

[–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I mean, considering that there are infinite universes, there are infinite universes with elder Spidermans.

[–] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Elder Spider-Man doing Toby's first swing would be a short story.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Somewhere out there is a universe with a spiderman who is an actual spider. There is no crime.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Spider-Ham is actually a spider who was bitten by a radioactive pig.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 4 points 2 years ago

Spider-Verse 3 is just the second half of "Across the Spider-Verse"

Hate this limitless greed that sells us a half a story...

[–] MxM111@kbin.social 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don’t get it. Why spider was upset?

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

It seems he was thinking of the stories where a spider bites a radioactive man and becomes a spiderman.
