  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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Elon is a 14 year old trapped in a man's body isn't he? He wished to be big.

This picture at least has better lighting and framing. Which is impressive, given that it seems to be a poorly propped up selfie with flash on.

The composition, the pose - this is a masterpiece!

Don't forget better fashion sense and hair.

Look, when I was a kid I had some cringe taste. I'm sure many of us did. He looks a bit old for the teenage cringe era here, though.

Most rich people are, especially if they grew up wealthy. They never had to face any consequences or handle real responsibility, and it shows.

I rarely think there's such a thing as too weird, but if you're too weird for them then maybe you need to tone the weird down

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Seemed relevant and I love to tell people fun facts. This one really isn't all that fun though
