X is kiss, O is hug (at least, in the UK it is)

This is pretty new. They gave me a popup when they added it a couple months ago.

³LMAO

That’s the joke. Also, we’re on Lemmyshitpost - it’s not meant to be high quality

Some people rely on ‘screen readers’ (software that reads text on the screen out loud when you move your finger over it) to browse content on Lemmy. Some screen readers can read text on images (I know Apple’s does, not sure about Android), but obviously it can make mistakes and there’s missing context a lot of the time. Hence the transcriptions.

There was a group of people on Reddit who added image transcriptions in the comments of posts but it was rarely seen in the post itself. I quite like that it’s been more popular on Lemmy. For inline images you can add hidden transcriptions using markdown, but for image posts it has to go in the body of the post.

There are also a couple of other benefits. The post is more likely to appear in search results if someone searches for text included in the transcription. And if the image fails to load for whatever reason, or the image host deletes it, you can get the gist from the transcription.

Not sure; I’ve wondered that before too. If I had to guess I’d say people just keep naming future kings after previously liked kings - the first few king Louis weren’t all that popular, but later on there were some popular ones (Louis IX was named a saint, for instance, which may have boosted it).

16 is certainly a lot of kings to have the same name. I believe there’s 20-something Pope Johns, if I recall correctly

They just don’t want you to see the tongues licking the dishes

I don’t see why you’re being downvoted - whilst a significant portion of Apple’s claimed ‘carbon neutrality’ can indeed be attributed to carbon offsets, they have also made changes in other areas. Here’s a graph from Apple’s climate report that shows the supposed change in emissions between last year and this year’s watches.

You mean 2 -> 4?

2^2 = 4

No?

In case you don’t know, they take images of models wearing blank shirts and then photoshop many different t-shirt designs onto the images. The person in this photo never wore the shirt.

This post isn’t racially motivated or anything. I just found this image amusing, but not traditionally ‘funny’ enough to go on an actual meme subreddit, so here we are

I made a beef stroganoff meme a couple days ago, and it seems it’s become beans mk2 lol

I posted a meme about it yesterday, and I guess it’s just beans mk2 now 🤷‍♂️

I’ve had this image in my camera roll for ages, so I’m not sure. IIRC it came from an r/dalle post, but I could be wrong

This is an old image, so GPT wasn’t around back then. The top result of a Google search is often a sample of a webpage - Google estimates which part of the article best answers your question. The next sentence of the article probably tells you about the counting-rings method, but it was either cropped out of the image or Google didn’t choose to include that part of the article in the sample.

The first part of the joke is that the image shows “Mitosis” - a process in which a cell splits in two. The word sounds like “my toe, sis”.

The second part of the joke is that the Mitosis diagram vaguely resembles “Loss”, a webcomic. https://amp.knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss

Yep. It’s enabled by default, actually
