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

I was gonna be all, "I understood that reference," but I didn't realize that the Gary Larson comic named something that lacked an existing formal identifier and so thagomizer is actually used in academia to some extent (e.g. this 2023 paper). TIL!

Is this some AI generated thing or an actual "Mars Attacks" styled trading card thing?

Actual trading card called 'Dinosaur Attacks'

I gotta go find these... somebody's gotta have scans on the inter webs somewhere.

You've given me something to do this weekend.

It doesn't look ai generated to me. All the dinosaur back plates are where they should be, the hands we can see look reasonable, there's no eldritch horror of mushed together background pieces the computer hallucinated. I have no idea where this image comes from, but I'm fairly confident it isn't ai

lol I’m old enough to vaguely remember these cards, they’re definitely real.

[–] Deinonychus@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Ai can't generate dinosaurs yet, luckily

Mars Attacks and all its ilk go so fucking hard. Capitalist ephemera but depicting troops and cops getting got.
