A tip for (more or less) cleaning up jpeg artifacts:

Isn’t part of the charm of memes the shitty compression artifacts?

It is a metric to judge the age of the meme by.

Internet historians love em!

I was in a Glam/prog rock fusion band called Selective Gaussian Blur. We were positively atrocious.

At least you weren’t negatively atrocious. That would be bad.

Memes should be stored in vector format rather than compressed pixels 🙈

But what about photo based memes?

I wonder, is there and algorithm to check how many times an image was reposted solely based on the artifacts? 🤔

As a connoisseur of technology, the rationale behind this phenomenon resides in the fact that the aforementioned image was captured precisely seven hours subsequent to the creation of the post. Consequently, the temporal emphasis predominantly lies upon the image itself, thereby insinuating that said image has existed in the digital realm for a duration exceeding ten years. This engenders an optical fallacy wherein the image appears to have traversed the vast expanse of time in a mere flicker of moments.

There is a YouTube series “Odd One Out” by Jubilee with that premise, not necessarily gay but other social groups as well. In one episode, there really were only Odds and no one how was what they pretended all to be

Started watching it based on your comment. It’s mid, but good enough to watch and can be funny. I am hoping it picks up a bit though.

This would be a nightmare because I have no idea what the signals look like.

The show would be very revealing as we’d learn what 12 men think the signals look like!

Had a girl one time tell me she has perfect gaydar. Asked her if I was and without skipping a beat she said “yeah you are”…. Spoiler: I’m not.
