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.

  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.

Sometimes the best joke is one you're knot expecting.

These puns are starting to needle me.

Omg, Erika Moen from Penny Arcade’s Strip Search? Wow, I haven’t thought about that in years!

I'd have said from Dar! or Oh Joy Sex Toy myself

I always think its genuinely cute when people are recognized from tiny obscure appearances and not the massive mainstream thing's they're famous for.

But which one is parallel to the selvage

Update: this one is for the two sewing nerds who upvoted this. The warp is parallel to the selvage. Add THAT to your cutesy mnemonic.

[–] Brickhead92@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Warp is up and down. Weft is weft to wight. Crashing at warp would leave a long trail to selvage.

[–] Setiyeti93@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I always think "warp speed ahead" followed by a hand gesture for the benefit of number one.

"But Keptin, ze worp drive is not responding. Should I engage the weft drive?"

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago

That's how I would remember it, weft is left (and right) and warp is the other way.
