Yeah, to me Stack Overflow was always like:

Me: How do I do (x)?

Response 1: Why would you want to do something stupid like that? Idiots like you have no business being here. Go away and play in your sandbox.

Response 2: Throw away your PC and buy a Mac.

Response 3: Throw away your Mac and buy a PC.

Response 4: Duplicate of question answered in detail in a Usenet forum post from 1995. How stupid are you that you don't bother to check to see if someone has solved your problem before bothering the smart people in the room?

Response 5: Reported for spamming with useless questions. Better signal to noise ratio, please.

Me: Okay nevermind

Response 6: There's no need to take that attitude. How do you expect people to help you if you're being rude and condescending? Go buy a Mac and let Apple spoon feed you with their baby food OS.

Remember, friendship is universal!

Image of propaganda poster used in the original V miniseries from 1983, depicting a smiling Visitor soldier with blond hair and dark goggles with his right hand outstretched in greeting. He is wearing the characteristic red uniform of the Visitors, with a strange black symbol vaguely reminiscent of a swastika sewn onto the lapel. He is standing in front of a sky blue background, and above him, in large futuristic capital lettering, is the Visitor slogan "Friendship Is Universal".

What's that behind his head?

Still frame from the classic Outer Limits episode "The Zanti Misfits", showing a 20-cm-long ant-like creature with large, curled antennae and a disturbingly human-looking face with large eyes and bushy eyebrows crawling up a man's arm in the direction of the camera.

Famous "Calvin and Hobbes" cartoon by Bill Watterson depicting a young boy, Calvin, and his come-to-life stuffed tiger Hobbes, looking wistfully at a recently cut tree stump with trash strewn around it, as Calvin says "Sometimes I think the surest sign that intelligent life exists elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us."

"Seems we've found another moon."

Still image of Earth with two full-sized moons orbiting on opposite sides of the planet. From the Space 1999 episode "Another Time, Another Place".

Illustration of hellhounds from the fictional encyclopedia "A Field Guide to the Monsters of North America", as seen in the "Supernatural" episode "Hell House" (season 1, episode 17).

The illustration is seen through Dean's eyes. It is in black and white, and looks as if it is set in the woods. The main hellhound is the only one you notice at first. Only its face and neck are shown. It looks like a huge, incredibly fierce, and frightening-looking black dog with its teeth bared, and looks as if its body is made entirely from eye-like bubbles and vein-like wisps of smoke rather than flesh and fur, giving it an unearthly and eldritch appearance. Even its nostrils look like little human skulls.

Only after looking at the illustration for a while do you notice the gaping maw and sharp teeth of a second hellhound, to the upper right of the first. Only its jaw is shown.

Hot Commie Summer? I'm ready

A picture of a red bikini top and bottom, where the bikini bottom has the yellow Soviet sickle, hammer, star and wreath emblem emblazoned across the centre, and the top has the same symbol emblazoned across the right bra cup.

Stupid man. He should know that pissing off dolls is not the best idea.

Black and white image of Talky Tina, the murderous doll from the classic Twilight Zone episode "Living Doll", with the caption "My name is Talky Tina. And I'm going to destroy your economy."

New Doctor Who villains just dropped

Image of a Futurism.com article heading titled 'White House Announces It Can Now "Manipulate Time and Space": What the hell are they talking about?' The article was written by Victor Tangermann and posted on 20 April 2025, and is accompanied by an image of a warped White House either entering or leaving a graphical depiction of a gravitational well with grid lines.

"In recent years, Phoenix Ikner became known for far-right, white supremacist rhetoric, classmates said. It's unclear if that had any tie to the violence." I think that just may be the most wilfully avoidant framing I've seen so far. It's as if they're deliberately trolling us.

Separated at birth?

Image of Veruca Salt from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) with her mouth open and an angry expression on her face, very much resembling Pete Hegseth in the article referenced by the original poster.

Amanda E@sammagotchi· Apr 1

Oh, how nice. You're *considering* voting for a resolution. Absolutely not a half-assed gesture aimed at maybe kind-of sort-of mitigating the damage from the grave threat to democracy you helped bring into being.

CNN headline: "Some GOP senators slam proposed tariffs on Canada". Below that, a photo of Republican Senators Susan Collins and Thom Tillis together. Below that, a subhead reading "Senators Susan Collins and Thom Tillis are considering voting for a resolution aimed at blocking the levies". The photo makes them look like they think this is some super significant gesture and not a weak and tepid response.

The label never misses

Amanda E@sammagotchi· Mar 23

I have a bad feeling about this

Screenshot of headline from my Android news feed. It's from Popular Mechanics, and it reads "An Amateur Archaeologist Found a 1,000-Year-Old Ring With Incredible Implications". The accompanying photo shows a black-gloved hand holding two large and slightly yellow-tinged rings, one thick and one thin. The thicker ring is oddly reminiscent of the One Ring from JRR Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings", an impression made even stronger by the photo's overall composition.

Generated cartoonish image of a very well-fed looking leopard sleeping on a tree branch, its tail dangling down, apparently dreaming of all the faces it will eat the next day. The image is captioned "So Many Faces, So Little Time".

Obligatory

A modified version of the famous "astronaut meme": one astronaut looks at the Earth and exclaims "The air is just soup???", and a second astronaut holds a gun to the first astronaut's head, saying "Always has been."

Amanda E@sammagotchi· May 28

Interesting (as in 'appalling') that the Telegraph used a photo of the police arresting the far-right and anti-trans Ben Lawrence to visually imply the idea of trans activists being violent. They probably thought they could get away with it due to the pink and blue colouring of Lawrence's shirt.

Screen capture from the Telegraph UK website showing a headline reading "Transgender activists protest at women's rally with 'arm trans kids' poster", with an accompanying photo showing a violent activist being arrested by police at Kellie-Jay Keen's "Let Women Speak" demo in Hyde Park. What the Telegraph isn't saying, however, is that the violent activist is not a transgender activist at all: it's Ben Lawrence from the far-right group Patriots of Britain, who was there to support Kellie-Jay Keen and the anti-LGBT side in general.

Very pretty! 💕 I just got mine done today too, and I swear I can feel a subtle difference in how people treat me. 😊 (I'm still not comfortable posting full selfies on here yet, maybe someday I will. This is a no-makeup shot with my eyebrows slightly arched to highlight their shape.)

Partial selfie showing my eyes and eyebrows, with the intent of highlighting the shape of my eyebrows after waxing.

Abandon all hope ye who enter here!

The famous album cover for The Eagles' 1977 album Hotel California, depicting a neon-accented Spanish-style hotel at dusk, but instead of the words "Hotel California" in blue neon on the sign, there is the single word "Hellthread".

It's back again, NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hello Bluesky, this will be my first post here. Thanks to @mark-caldwell.com for sending me an invite. Maybe something fun to start. How about a kitty picture? This is our cat Tulip dreaming of the next time she can bug us for treats and go after musk oxen. Mind you, musk oxen can be very nasty! 😉
