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.

It's not ideal but it is definitely possible.

This is a just a meme but it doesn't take any effort to verify it.

Snippet:

Diego's 'work' to save his species started back in the 1960s, when there were only 14 wild tortoises - 2 male and 12 female - left on Espanola, the southernmost island in the Galapagos Archipelago and the only native habitat for the species.

Now, with roughly 2,000 captive-bred tortoises released into the wild, the species has rebounded, and it looks like Diego and his mates were largely responsible. Based on recent genetic studies, Diego has fathered roughly 40 percent of all those released.

Possible it is. Well, maybe. Because they are weakened by inbeeeding and low variability, more suspecible to sicknesses and environmental changes.

Btw, modern humanity has low genetic diversity too (except some San people), because we had only about 10'000 members sometime after out-of-africa. Some San neighbour is more genetically different from the next than a south american from a chinese.
