But the original greentext isn’t a picture—only normies on other platforms than 4Chan end up with that format unless it is a fabricated one like this.

This is the future we should be trying to build. A tiny tweak could make that text green, and then the prophecy would be fulfilled.

Greentext is green, puts the reader in the shoes of the subject, and usually ends in a short line of non-green commentary. It isn’t a terribly hard concept to transfer somewhere else.

Rather than Frankenstein the past like a save icon, we could be finding ways to make quoted text green in this community on Lemmy, thus fulfilling the requirements.

Now this is podracing!

Greentext definitely did exist on 4Chan before becoming a meme format, and even then, it only became a meme format because screenshots were an easy way to transfer the gold out of the sludge mines of 4Chan.

The idea of greentext is good, but photoshopping fake 4Chan screens is like digging up your dead grandma and puppeteering her corpse to prove that you definitely didn’t write a birthday card to yourself.

It’s time to start posting new greentext as text so people will screenshot Lemmy. Let the old bones of 4Chan rest until they may or may not be reincarnated by the admins.

The idea that people are making fake greentext screen shots is both puzzling and embarrassing. If you have the idea, just post it as a normal comment somewhere else—forging 4Chan screens is the path of madness.

Sounds like boomers watching cable news to me.

This is the correct answer here! People copyright strike reposted videos all the time, but turning it into commentary makes it a new artwork so it won’t get removed. They also often insert the commentary over the sections of video that include copyrighted music.

Honestly, I don’t recommend it. The drawbacks are much bigger than the benefits.

If you want a legendary high in your old age that also won’t kill you or make you an asshole, I highly recommend LSD combined with Nitrous Oxide. Turn the brain on with LSD, and turn the body off with laughing gas for 30 seconds at a time to ride in and out of pure creative consciousness. Works pretty well with MDMA too, but that can hit the stomach hard, and could be a bad idea for an older person.

Heroin will just remove all feelings of guilt and remorse for your actions until you subtly shift out of alignment with your own values. It removes all fear, which is what people get addicted to, but then you become a total piece of shit because you will feel no negative impact from being cruel. That’s the secret that I wish I had known going in. Don’t become a nasty tempered old junkie—that is a tired cliche and there are much better highs.

When you find yourself happy with the status quo, it is a good idea to look around your community and make sure that you aren’t just part of a privileged group.

Just some casual sexism.

Since when is it forbidden? Who is gatekeeping the sports page?

And I think you see it in sports news because it reaches their demographic better—some WWE fans are too insecure in their masculinity to visit the arts and culture section, and I’d bet dollars to doughnuts that football and wrestling have a huge crossover demographic.

We have been living in a post truth world lately, and pretending that WWE is a sport is just another facet of it. Strap in, the nonsense is just getting started.

You clearly underestimate the powers of the dreaded arch-mage of Cthulhu. /s

Perhaps it depends on your definition of sacred. Life is the only mechanism that we know of by which the universe understands itself. If you ascribe to free will, life is the only mechanism able to change the course of events that were initiated by the Big Bang. If you don’t ascribe to free will, then it is the only mechanism able to witness the course of events that were initiated by the Big Bang.

That seems like something worth preserving in large, even if an individual life should be ended for compassion or justice. A life doesn’t have to be sacred, but Life seems pretty sacred to me.

…just who the next Pope is going to be.

Right, just one of the most powerful religious positions in the world overseeing a vast real estate empire worth billions to trillions of dollars, who will be appointed for life, and who cannot be questioned due to having the authority of God himself. Not important or interesting at all. /s

Aragorn also abandoned his duties for decades because he was overwhelmed with feelings of inadequacy. No matter how good you are, it is also ok to forgive yourself for not being perfect or having genetic skeletons in your closet.

I haven’t done heroin in 15 years, but MAGA…not even once. It’s important to have standards in life.

Don’t you know that my head canon is universal canon? /s

You make a compelling point. I concede to your logic, but refuse to change my ways.

We accept your apology. /s

Sorry, my brain skipped over the word cool and read “most Jews”. No doubt that there are Jews who acknowledge what is actually happening, it is just disconcerting to see how far some people will bend over backwards to make excuses for their own team.

I have this argument with my family all the time when they try to act like there is something to redeem here in America—it is a strength to admit when the rot has spread and the limb can’t be saved in its current form.
