No signature? Looks like poorly drawn lines but without the usual characters

Awesome, thank you. I never understand why people share these and specifically bother to remove the signature. They're not claiming authorship so why remove it?

Some of the wording has been changed too. Odd.

Because most likely the original was translated to another language (Russian, most likely), and then that got translated back to English.

That’s so wild. Ahh the internet

Yeah the beef saying ЭЭЭ tells me russian

[–] GTG3000@programming.dev 2 points 3 weeks ago

I've seen the russian version before, must be it.

usually russian translation won't hide the address, but idk if it was the case here.

I think I like the edited version better, actually.

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah me neither. Makes no sense.

[–] perishthethought@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, same thought. The writing reminds me of Where's My Jetpack (Tom Gauld) but not the art.
