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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Be nice. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements to private messages.
  7. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

I met a marine mechanic once - he fixed Argos afterwards, which is how I met him. His saying:

One [nut] for me, one for the bilge.

Thank you to everyone in this thread who made me feel part of a community of my peers online for the first time, in a long time.

Every plumbing project (even yesterdays quick upgrade of the kitchen faucet) is at least a 2 tripper. Each time I finish one I swear I'm never moving again. Then, 5 years later, I'm fixing the previous owners mishaps "one last time".

To all the people who've bought houses I lived in, I'm sorry for all of the " what was that idiot thinking" moments I've caused you. Ha

Hmm from what you said it's more like, "Yup, I can see what shit the last guy had to fix. Thanks friend I'll never meet."

I'll take that perspective! Cheers

Argos is still frustrating at times, he did not succeed.
