In addition to all the expected work uses, people are also using it for their emails, help with flirting over DMs, writing their vows, winning arguments, etc.

Ah, that makes sense.
I saw that there was some discussion about this the other day, but this community moves so fast that I didn’t catch all the details.
My unsolicited 0.02 is that crediting in the title or body seems reasonable whenever the artist’s signature/watermark isn’t present.
The Artemis mission is so exciting
I’m happy to!
Dan was unmoved by the haiku.
Isn’t that her purse?
Sure! The first that comes to mind is this one where she’s a stewardess and adapting to the clientele in each country. I was confused at first, thinking “Oh, she has a beaker on her head, so it’s saying that in Budapest they appreciate brains!” but after looking it up, I think it’s supposed to be wine, lol.
The first part is (hopefully) tongue-in-cheek: “foid” or “moid” are variations of a pejorative for “female” or “male” that started unironically in incel circles, but I mostly see it used ironically in memes like this now: similar to others like “Chad, Stacey, Alpha, Sigma” that came from the same place.
Tech is just technique. Calling a new thing you can do a “tech” comes from gaming circles, like how speed runners find strategies to optimize their runs.
That’s awesome! Finding old comics like this is so entertaining to me.
I’ve been seeing this comic making rounds on various social media recently and also like the style. It’s called Jucika and was a Hungarian comic from 1957-1970. I have a bunch saved in my “for Lemmy” folder on my phone now, so I’ll be posting more of them.
Most of them seem to be drawn without captions/dialogue, so the jokes translate well.
It was a very common way of seeing it on AIM back in the day. I don’t know if it was a time-period thing or an online thing though.
Honestly, I know that people dislike twitter/X, but the ability to summon grok in the comments to look up info that people are arguing about is a cool feature. It’s like an anti “firehose of falsehood” tool.
