Of course I do and the answer is engagement farming.

Oooooh 🤩 now I get it 🥳 haha thank you ❤️❤️❤️

/S

To most people, the core value of a meme is not diminished by a random speck of colour on it. If someone’s found a clever way to express something that I agree strongly with, I don’t give much of a fuck if it says “this motherfucking asshole needs to fucking d*e” or “this motherfucking asshole needs to fucking die”.

In a world where people use AI to generate the stupidest nonsense because they don’t want to bother opening an image editor and “it’s just a meme brah”, you expect people to to hunt down “the original” because someone put a dot on a word to farm outrage engagement?

1. The bunny has pancakes on a plate and is eating them.
2. Ralph appears and his hand is stretched towards a plate that is in front of the bunny. What’s he doing? The bunny had pancakes in the first panel, that’s where we’ve seen a plate before, must be the same plate, he must be taking the plate (from the bunny’s mouth, no less).

That’s what the order of the panels suggests. It’s bad panelling and the images need to be the other way around. It works in a movie but that’s because we can see the movement.

What is happening here? Is Ralph taking the pancakes away?

Nothing. Village of 1400 people, the only “shop” was the bakery, no other commercial activity whatsoever, anywhere to spend money was concentrated in one nearby town (one supermarket, one movie theatre with one screen, some doctors, some construction trades) surrounded by several similarly dismal villages. Loads of disillusioned teens headed for dead-end jobs in the surrounding area or lifelong unemployment, and probably the extreme right. Everybody with a bit of brain left as soon as possible.

(I just tried to check the results of the most recent national elections - it’s too tiny to have its results listed separately. They REALLY like conservatives down there.)

Nice landscape though, good for retirement you might think - until you learn that, since you left, all the doctors have moved away from the area, the teeny tiny hospital in that central town and the slightly larger one 30 minutes away by car have closed down and my parents now have to drive an hour (if traffic permits) to get to the hospital.

Gawwwd you made me think about that place, day ruined, thanks a lot…

We clearly stole that.

It’s entirely possible that there was some interaction between addons that I was unable to find back then but I’m fine with how it’s working now and uBlock Origin (yes, that one) is working fine otherwise so I honestly can’t be bothered to tinker with it.

Idk, it kept breaking the site for me because of the arms race between YT and adblockers.

If you use Firefox, try this addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-no-disturbance/

I’ve given up on uBlock for YT because frankly I was annoyed at having to update every two days (and whitelisting channels never seemed to work). Silencing ads is good enough for me.

Both. Both is good.

True, that weirdo on the street corner probably knows not to self-style “MechaHitler”.

Depends on the breed, no? A Newfie bear may very well walk you whereas a Dackel bear is easy to walk.

Do not romance Cthulhu.

Hah, I thought it was a head, “you may smell the flowers”.

Do you also go to that raving weirdo on the street corner for advice because they’re willing to discuss things that aren’t on mainstream media?

I figured OP wants the former and who am I to deny them?

What do you mean, “using AI”? Did you vibe-code? Does the AI help with journalling? If the latter: who wants that?

Is 🛶 okay? How about 🧔🛶?
