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'm not even American but I don't see anything extremely out of place here. A 12h drive is doable in one day with a couple of rests. Assuming you stay for 2-3 nights at your destination.

If you mean going back right after the game, then hell no.

Bingo. Especially if you have a group of 3-4 that help split fuel, it's immensely cheaper and arguably more fun. Plus, you're not restricted what you can bring with you, you can stop to eat wherever you like, and you already have personal transport when you arrive. But, like you said, it's really only worth it if you're staying a few days. If you're just going somewhere for a night and need to get back the next day, flight all the way.

Road trips with friends make driving bearable. I'd never drive 12 hours alone (again) but I'd jump at the opportunity to do something like this...just not for sports

People tend to underestimate the scale of the US. The distance from (what appears to be) Oklahoma City to Cincinnati, is roughly the same distance as driving from Brussels to Warsaw.

It's actually Oklahoma City to Indianapolis. Cincinnati is the dot directly to the right of the word, not the destination above it

Good catch, all these dots look the same to me.
