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.

  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.

Wikipedia made a conscious choice to stay impartial, ad free, and governed by a nonprofit. they could have monetized like facebook and be raking it in. they didn't.

i donate a few hundred dollars every year. i don't care wether they need it or not. the yve earned it imo

I once donated $50.

It's not much, but I've definitely got my money's worth and then some over the years.

Wow. It's Hamilton B. Urglar.

Just in case anyone else gets curious, Grimace is his full name and his species is Grimace. Birdie the Early Bird is a bird (most likely a canary).

There's also the Professor who is a human and Uncle O'Grimacey, Grimace's green Irish uncle who promoted the shamrock shakes.

Mayor McCheese’s species is a burger and it just gets stranger from there. Mac Tonight is a humanoid moon creature, CosMc is an alien, Officer Big Mac is a ~~bastard~~ Big Mac, and Speedee is also a hamburger.

There’s Sundae which I would have guessed is a sundae, but nope, he’s a cursed dog. The McNugget buddies are what I expected which came as a complete shock to me at this point and Fry Kid’s are… you guessed it, Gobblins (made to look like French Fries). They look nothing like French fries, that’s a quote from the McDonalds wiki.

I "subscribe" to Wikipedia by making an automatic montly donation. You stop noticing you're doing it just as fast as any other subscription service.
