I love the recent trend of recreating AI slop memes; homemade memes have so much more personality than a soulless rectangle of pixels some computer algorithm spit out.

This is what the old memes and rage comics were for, simple and accesible to tell a story or be stupid (or both), idiots complain about their lack of drawing skills when it's actually being fucking lazy, we used to just cut and paste rage comic characters, they could do that (or use any other characters) with fucking paint but even that is too much effort

Jesus Christ, you just made a compelling argument on behalf of rage comics. I'm pleasantly impressed.

queue people saying "i liked the other one better" - oh, it's already here.

"Cue" is technically more correct, as they would feel called to respond the way an actor is called to respond to their cue, or a pool ball reacts to being struck by the cue.

But considering they're lining up in a queue with all their comments, I'll allow it.

But it's a command, so it doesn't make sense in that context. You're saying I should line people up so they can make the comments? What?

We’re queuing up people for execution by firing squad for disliking my art (this is a joke, everybody is entitled to their wrong opinions)

Ironically you made more typos than the AI image generator. It's noble, not Nobel (Nobel is the guy who the prize is named after).

I was just about to go to sleep when I decided to start making these, and I woke up a bit as I got some momentum going. I was also hasty with this one in particular since I was timing myself. Here’s a version with the typo fixed

Copied from another comment of mine:

Ooh spicy meme drama, love it

[–] oplkill@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Ai version better, it has extra panel without any reaction

Finally some humanity

Looks like a hydrogen atom with its single proton.

That’s the electron cloud orbiting much faster than the image shutter speed

I have a black belt in science and this checks out.

@Squorlple@lemmy.world sleep well

[–] Acamon@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Infinitely better.

Edit: oh, the pic

The fact that this was made with a few geometric shapes makes it feel like part of some specific artistic style.
