Our friend @alien runs the Slackware community Forgejo instance, and he has a neat little script for turning cats into Warhol artwork. Here's my big old man, Presto, as the result of said script. Sadly, he died in 2023 from liver cancer at the age of 15, but […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

[JK Rowling] Here's an unsolicited take from me: JK Rowling is NOT a TERF. TERF, as we all know, stands for "Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist," but for JK Rowling to be a TERF, she'd actually have to be a feminist and not just a bigoted dipshit. Of course, real feminists aren't TERFs, but […]

@puppygirlhornypost2 I still have my favorite screwdriver from when I was a kid. Weirdly, it works super well with almost anything I can throw at it, so long as it's either phillips or flathead, as those are the only bits I have for it. When the bits are taken out, it can also work with hex nuts.

My favorite screwdriver. It has a yellow handle, and a detachable rod and bits

My favorite screwdriver, with the rod taken out but the bits on either side still kept in it.

My favorite screwdriver, with the rod and both bits taken out. One bit is small, one bit is large, and both have a phillips end and a flathead end.

@Grat10 I remember I used to have a dog's chewtoy as a kid that was Gumby. I didn't use it as a chewtoy, but instead as a normal Gumby toy, because I like Gumby. I know they still sell those, so even after you're done chewing it, you could also use it like a normal Gumby toy :)

Figured this old format could use a touch-up. I do not apologize for this dumbassery. And yes, I explicitly chose have some of these with their older logos, simply because I like them better.

An existing meme that I put a large twist on. The original meme uses mostly different platforms in its comparison, but I chose some more modern stuff.

Anyway, the meme is: THE LIFE CYCLE OF A MEME.

In the top tier, you find: 4chan, Something Awful, and Funnyjunk logos (Also IRC, Usenet, and obscure onionsites). (Those are mostly older examples where you'd find memes, but the onionsites (like imageboards and obscure forums) are where you can find some spicy modern memes - yes I am chronically online) The image is of a person taking a shit.
In the next tier, eating the shit of the above tier: Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat
In the next tier, eating the shit of the above tier (you get where this is going): Reddit, Tumblr
Next tier: Facebook, TikTok
Next Tier: iFunny
At the bottom, not taking a shit, and instead having the last bit of shit put onto a plate: 9gag.
