Someone fucked up the speech bubble gag. It looks like the quote is speaking the picture of Philomena rather than vise versa

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You can thank Twitter's (or knock-off Twitter in this case) mental way of presenting a discussion. Is the reply above? Is it below? Maybe it's a bit of fucking both for no discernable reason. Maybe it's a collection of screenshots from about 4 people's apps.

What was wrong with PHPBB?

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, it can't simply be Twitter's way of showing threads, because the image itself has the speech bubble pointing the wrong way

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 1 year ago

Oh, I see what you mean. Speech bubble should be pointing the other way.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It’s called exTwitter, or more properly, The Dead Bird.

[–] constantokra@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

Still works.

[–] HerbalGamer@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Feel free to use this one so that doesn;t happen in the future.

[–] fsxylo@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You say I messed up the bubble gag, but you can't blow bubbles when gagged.

...shit the speech bubble is still in the wrong spot.

alt-text: Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk with a post about boobies emanating from a speech bubble above her

[–] djsoren19@yiffit.net 60 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Would people be interested in an instance just for Cunkposting? I feel like this format has great potential.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago

Maybe not an instance, but a community?

[–] onevia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 year ago

I now need this more than words can describe.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

Can the format be changed though because I find the speech bubble placement weird.

Picture should be below the text and the bubble going up to text box.

Right now it makes it look like the textbox is talking and saying "cunk"?? It's backwards.

Unless it's intentional and I'm missing some inside joke or something.

[–] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

It hadn’t occurred to me, but now I want this more than anything.

Lol this article was so worth the click . Possibly one of the most graphic and enjoyable one i have ever read . Also on a serious note WHAT THE FUCK ?

[–] Kolli@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

On a serious note, no harm done. While 80 000 is quite a lot, who's hurt? The user who is looking with incorrect term? No, he found what he's looking for. The joker? No, she got the laughs. The organisation? No, it's not paid work.

Everyone wins. Weird, but not at all harmful.

[–] cucumberbob@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Slightly confused by your last point, about the org itself, could you expand?

The Organisation? No, it’s not paid work.

This seems to imply to me that the organisation could never be “hurt” because it’s volunteer run, which I doubt is what you were saying.

[–] Kolli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I certainly can. I was referring to waste of time and question of efficiency.

[–] Thief_of_Crows@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 year ago

Nothing they had written was incorrect, on a site the size of Wikipedia, adding more true but functionally useless pages is only ever a (very minor) benefit. If there were only 1000 pages, sure, it'd be clutter. But it is already the case that to find anything you have to search for it, meaning it is a net positive to create those pages.

[–] THE_MASTERMIND@feddit.ch 2 points 1 year ago

No i am just suprised about the motivation.

[–] scarilog@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

"a trip down mammary lane" was the last straw for me

[–] Deceptichum@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

I love it when people write so passionately about such ridiculous stories.

This is why Kes broke up with him.

[–] LavaPlanet@lemmy.world 31 points 1 year ago

Wait. Have you met the lactose intolerant tho?? They'd be all in, regardless.

[–] I_like_turtles3@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago
[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm lactose intolerant, and boobs are awesome

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Dunno, that seems quite tolerant of you. You sure you're not just faking it?

[–] EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bet he can't even name three of lactose's albums.

[–] don@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Makes sense, considering they’re not exactly a fan of lactose.

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Indeed. Boobs in mouth, all day. Swallowing the byproduct, toilet in 20 min. It's a delicate balance.

[–] don@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago

Wouldn’t they be more like chemical weapons factories?

I will gladly sacrifice my gut health for a good milkshake straight from the tap.
