do we really need ai to make up terrible new meme templates? I mean you can’t even justify it by saying that you needed this specific image and aren’t talented enough to make it any other way. because 1) low-quality meme templates made with little to no artistic ability are already a staple of the medium, and 2) this particular image doesn’t even work in the meme it was apparently purpose-made for

ok so god is holding the sign, and therefore his opinion is represented on it, which is, I suppose, a humorous enough observation (although it’s not like “invoking god during fornication is ironic” hasn’t been done thousands of times before). but what is the significance of anything else in the image? who is the woman? why is she running? why is she high-fiving god when his criticism seems to be directed at her? is this supposed to be an inspirational message to motivate her during her run? what does this image accomplish that impact font over a jpeg of god’s face from google images wouldn’t?

remember when AOC was going to make hamburgers illegal?

when I see people bragging about their high IQ it reminds me of those people who buy sports cars and then take them around to shows on a trailer with 5 miles on the odometer to talk about how it has 750 horsepower and a top speed of 300mph

one of the most retroactively embarrassing moments in my life is in like 2015 or '16 I was doing some dumb team-building thing for some school-adjacent activity, and the task was to create a “new Mount Rushmore,” basically as a group nominate four people who are doing good and important work in the world. I suggested musk. at the time most people there hadn’t heard of him, so I gave a little spiel about how he was the “founder” (which I thought was true at the time) of PayPal, Tesla (which people were just becoming aware of), and SpaceX. every time I remember it I cringe and hope nobody else does. although most other people in the group suggested Beyonce as someone doing “important work for humanity” so idk if they have much of a leg to stand on to criticize my choice

“we” huh? as in he identifies himself as part of their group? while acknowledging that they’re Nazis? interesting.

I guess when the consumers you’re targeting are apparently the type to need a demonstration of how a card fits in a wallet, you shouldn’t expect them to understand that that card is in fact solely for the purpose of that demonstration

also the Richter scale is logarithmic; each point is ten times as much as the previous. so a 3 is not 30% as much as a 10, it’s one ten-millionth as much

yeah I had something similar with the Beatles, where literally my first memory of music is Abbey Road, so my whole life I was like, I don’t get the hype, that’s just what music sounds like. it was only recently I went and listened to the album again with context of what other music from the 60s was like, and I finally realized that they were truly doing some wild shit with songwriting and production
