A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.
Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.
RULES:
- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If a post is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
- Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
- No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Yeah but you can't really understand them it just sort of sounds like you should be able to and you're not hearing them properly. You have no idea what they're actually saying.
The ebb and flow of the languages are almost identical, but the words are completely different.
My thoughts exactly, if I'm hearing someone speak French then my brain says "that's a different language", but Dutch sounds similar enough to English that my brain says "that's gobbledygook, there's trickery afoot!"
First time I heard Dutch I thought I was having a stroke.
Probably more like a German and Dutch speaker. I speak fluent English and fluent German (to like an 8 year-olds standard), I can sort of understand Dutch.
