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.

MODERATORS
What the hell are people debating here? A 150.000 tonne object crashed into a structure made of thin sticks (comparatively speaking). There is no doubt that the bridge would collapse. Especially since an arch is only stable if it is undamaged.
Yes, but you forget: lots of people are stupid.
George Carlin never fails to be accurate: Think about how stupid the average person is, then realize that half of them are even stupider than that.
He's not accurate, though. That'd be the median person. With the average person I'd expect much more than half to be stupider than that.
What measure are we using? Standard IQ is normal distributed so the mean and median are the same
I was joking
Mean, median, and mode are measures of central tendency aka average. It's usually context that indicates which measure we are using when we say average. A lot of the time, when speaking of the average person, we're using the median or mode rather than the mean.
How many fingers does your average person have?
I was joking and also didn't know that average in English can be any one of them.
How dare you insult our nation's precious little conservatives!
“Can a cargo ship really lose steering even if power is lost?”
That’s the caption of a video I just went and found on Facebook shared by one of my distant hillbilly acquantances. I’m not even going to watch to see what it’s about.
Honestly it wouldn't be a terrible idea to have backup power for the steering.
