Posting the dprk-soldier should crash their instance

Years ago, someone tried to upload a gigantic corrupted image of a DPRK soldier and it crashed the site

Question for you bears: I know PPG means the pig with the shit on his giant balls, but what does the acronym stand for?

And please keep posting these giant emojis, they are amazing

[–] Zoift@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No shade to Anarchist comrades but it's really funny they're implying he's an anarchist there.

Is this just our emoji that do this for some reason?

[–] CriticalResist8@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

It's all emojis, currently they're not federated from what I understand and they will show up in their original size on other instances

[–] thomcat@midwest.social 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think I've seen another instance even really have custom emojis.

lemmygrad has a few. we did come up with the feature though so it's not surprising we're the biggest user of it.

She's absolutely right!!

We used to be able to use markdown to make our emojis bigger and bold them and italicize them

😤

😤

^ just like that

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

Wait, we could italicize the emojis?? I only ever bolded them

honestly that was really cool and I wish we could have it back @devs

[–] Azarova@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

wait, we could italicize them?? i never even thought to try that

Fun fact: freedom of speech painting man is canonically spitting a dumb hot take.

Freedom of Speech depicts a scene of a local town meeting in which Jim Edgerton, the lone dissenter to the town selectmen's announced plans to build a new school, as the old one had burned down

The article is vague so it's possible the the dude was objecting on a good point like the school not being big enough for future growth, or being in a shitty place.

The way the sentence is written sure sounds like he was just objecting about building a school though.

I remember a nearby small town the next state over proposed closing their decaying, poorly constructed 70s era library with a new one, only to have it voted down by the town because it the "fiscally responsible thing to do" was renovate the old one.

It's costed them like twice as much now.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I’ve got a feeling some people are more interested in the feeling of getting things done than actually getting things done

[–] GivingEuropeASpook@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Honestly? I think some people outright don't want their local community to be improved in any way and actively prefer things to be falling apart out of some sense of pride for independence.

Amerika, or: What if toxic masculinity was a country?

[–] GivingEuropeASpook@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

America is if "malelivingspaces" was a country.

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

im-vegan should take up the entire screen so its clear

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

We should keep the bug but choose which ones it applies to. I want a massive i-voted

[–] Elon_Musk@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Also, we should only be allowed to downvote other instances. Wouldn't want to give them an unfair advantage.

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Actually we should bring back downbears and remove upbears at the same time so we can only downvote people

Ngl this has great emoji potential, I'm amazed no one's made it one yet

[–] Melonius@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Better or worse without the chalkboard?

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Better imo

Actually imo I'd change it remove most of the people in the back to keep the focus on the guy standing up, I'll try and make a version when I can, or you could just post that to c/emoji ig

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago

nah, needing to ratio them is much funnier

[–] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago

this but unironically. even people are actually upset over the size of emojis on an internet forum, im not interested in their opinions on anything

Death to America

[–] xXthrowawayXx@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Implement css that only shows random normal sized cutouts of the huge emojis when they’re posted offsite.
