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.

  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 an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

Though they may seem ubiquitous with civilised life today, the common home cube was not invented until 1991.

I still keep my home cube stored in a climate controlled tank, next to my fingerbox collection. They say you're not supposed to do this anymore, but I've heard horror stories that say otherwise.

Dude, you don't have your home cube yet? Let's all laugh at the cubeless nerd!

Americans trying to take credit for everything again.

Clearly it's a Scandinavian invention. Ikea sell one called Skïrëwöltm

It's just like the cubes they have in like public libraries and town halls, but smaller and cheaper so you can have one at home.

That's a little more helpful. Like this?

Oh I know that place, there's a library cube directly behind the photographer

A library of that size probably has at least 8-10 library cubes
