Been scouting locations ever since he saw this one meme.

A Dachshund dog in a tuxedo bearing its teeth featuring top and bottom text reading, "cement das conk creet baybee."

The photo has a lot of compression artifacts.

I'm more familiar with the source material.

Panasonic Q is the closest I've seen. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GameCub...

A Panasonic Q video game console. A limited edition and high-end GameCube that was released only in Japan and could play DVDs.

The image is of the silver game console/DVD player with a dark silvery GameCube controller plugged into it on a transparent background.

I manually typed 🏴\Ue0075\Ue0073\Ue0077\Ue0069\Ue007f (🏴<uswi in tags><end tag>) into that post as a bit, and was flabbergasted it worked when I hit enter on the last one. No idea what font it's from, devtools claims it's "Noto Color Emoji". Neat! Now it just needs to be added to the emoji picker.

Screenshot of the post composer for my post preceding this one.

It contains the text: 'Start posting "🏴󠁵󠁳󠁷󠁩󠁿" I guess.

Nobody can stop you, and it's up to the font to support it or not.'

Inside the double quotes is a coloured emoji depiction of the flag of the US state of Wisconsin.

My exact reasoning for picking this as a profile picture.

It's all the way down in Cork, but I can say this one's covered.

A screenshot of google street view, pointing at a restaurant on Grand Parade in Cork city called "SEVENTY SEVEN", which is building number 77 on that street.
Sandwiched between a travel agents, and a Singer garment alteration centre.

It's painted green and has a covered seating area out front. there's pedestrians around the place and a taxi in the foreground.

Shoutout to this Bdell555 guy for getting a photo back in 2010 of wgs 84 being off east/west by a whole 16.5cm in Greenwich. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ga...

A handheld Garmin GPS receiver at the Royal Observatory, Greenwich indicating that the WGS 84 reference meridian is 0.089 arcminutes or about 5.3 arcseconds to the east of the Prime Meridian (about 16.5 cm at the indicated latitude)

Went clicking through to see where else that image was used, and got mildly amused by this image on the Schriftart page on de.wikipedia. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ha... Explaining typefaces to an American:

The word „Hamburgefonts“ in various fonts: Arial, Book Antiqua, Calligraph421 BT, Courier New, Eurostile, Segoe UI, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Verdana.

Clearly there's only one solution.

Theatrical release poster for "Journey to the center of the earth (2008)" staring Brendan Fraser, but with the word "Earth" is replaced with "Data" in a matching font.

It's a view down a splitting crevasse with falling rocks and a blue sci-fi glow as three characters, including Fraser's, appear to be climbing toward the viewer.

Blame tenor. It's going to disappear pretty soon anyway. You can upload gifs yourself though.

This one should have alt text.

What's this about? No idea why this image is shown here: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sk...

Screenshot of an entry on xikipedia.org for Winthrop, Massachusetts.
There is a drawing of a vtuber used as the article image.

The text reads "Winthrop, Massachusetts
Winthrop is a city in Suffolk County, Massachusetts, United States. The population was 19,316 at the 2020 census."

Lets see what it does if I rename it to .jpg. I checked using mediainfo, and this file does have two images in it. Found it here: github.com/ksashikumar/...

Panorama of an old looking ruined temple. Supposedly taken in 3d and saved as a .mpo file.

Sunny day, the sky is blue.

Neat how everyone seems to have a different font design for this. Here's what mine looks like;

Very zoomed in screenshot of a post by thebes @vgel.me containing the "sun with face" emoji 🌞

It's a yellow multi-pointed star with a smiling face on it. Cartoonish, dark brown eyes/mouth, lighter brown nose, and brown blushing cheeks.

The "Joined May '23" label is on the post and a timestamp of 5:05 AM · Jan 22, 2026 is at the bottom.

Amazed nobody did this already.

Album art for Run The Jewels – Blockbuster Night, Pt. 1 but with the word RUNZA from the sign in the picture in the post I'm replying to shoddily pasted over "run the".

It now reads "RUNZA JEWELS".

I don't have it in my font either. (I even have "Theme" font picked in settings) I get a codepoint in the no-glyph symbol though, which is very handy for looking these up and typing them manually.

Screenshot of the root post from this thread.
By @this-is-cool.tngl.sh, it contains a single '🫪' (U+1FAEA) character that's rendered as an empty box with "01F AEA" in it splis across two lines.

It's in the dark theme, and has 2 reposts, 11 likes. It was posted at 6:17AM 2025-12-19 UTC.

They put this design on the back of modern Greek €1 coins. It's neat.

Back side of a Greek €1 coin from 2018. It's silver in the middle and gold coloured around the outside, the outer ring has 12 stars in a circle with 20 and 18 on either side of the star at the bottom.

The inner circle is stamped with a picture of a 5th-century BC Athenian tetradrachm (a coin in a coin), a similar design to the image I'm replying to but with a big number 1 and the word EYPΩ (Euro in Greek script).

Hadn't seen this feature before. Neat.

A screenshot of a warning you get from clicking the link in the above post.

It reads: """ Potentially misleading link

Here's the image I'm referring to that features the pie charts. "ELF Bar" is the only brand I've heard of, though I am in Europe.

A diagram from a scientific paper showing a drawing of the cross section of four disposable vapes, with pie charts breaking down the composition of metals in certain components.

Description from the original paper was as follows;
Figure 1. Elemental compositions of device coils, sheaths, and battery connectors of disposable e-cigarettes (dPODs) (elements >1% shown, elements <1% listed as “Other”): ELF Bar (Flavored (A) and Clear (B)), Flum Pebble (C), and Esco Bar (D). Elemental abundances reported as mean values (n = 3; Table S1).

They used to call him The Balance King back in collage. Saw the green background and couldn't help myself. Transparent bg version: ibb.co/6RGgr3F2

The same image that RT posted where he's sitting recumbent on a chair in a nature-themed set in a fancy caped outfit holding a plush animal with his right leg held aloft. But the background, chair, and cape have all been removed and replaced with black.

Makes it look as though he's expertly balancing on one toe and quite impressed with himself.

Misread that as "so he can see in the dark" at first.

Man facing the camera wearing a helmet with a pair of night-vision goggles flipped down over his eyes.
They are brown in colour, and there are four front facing lenses.

A pair of the "EOTech GPNVG Ground Panoramic Night Vision Goggle", according to where I found the picture.

Yes they are. Load up someone's default handle for yourself in a browser right now. It's really quite elegant.

Wish telecentric or hypercentric lenses were more common, so these examples could look dumber.

Portrait of a woman through a hypercentric lens, creating a reverse perspective distortion. (closer things in the photo are smaller than further away things)
She's looking at the camera and smiling while reaching her open hands forward.

You reminded me of how our drivers licenses used to be printed on regular paper, with a loose photo you stuck on yourself until 2013. You weren't even supposed to laminate them. Easiest document in the world to forge.
