Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Old joke;
What do you say when you're flying a plane designed with a Pentium™?
IEEE!
(This dates back to the Pentium float bug. It's an antique)
It's not an antique until it's 100 years old, that's just a vintage joke
At 20 years old it's classified as Classic, like cars.
And at 21 it can drink
That's right before they taught us how to keep the blue smoke inside the components
Practice makes perfect
Huh? This image has enough pixels to be printed on a facade-sized billboard.
That's the real problem. The app he is using reduces the image to optimize memory usage, but if the image has too many pixels in either direction, it ends up decimating too much.
I ran into that issue with one of the Lemmy clients when I was trying them out, but can't remember which one it was. If I remember correctly, it should be something that you can turn off, but it can drastically slow down how long it takes to display some images.
Oh interesting, that might be it. I'm using Sync.
I was thinking it was sync, but I didn't want to call them out if I was wrong...
I suspect that it was originally written for devices with much less power and much less memory. Also reddit had upper limits on image size. So, Lemmy's yolo way of dealing with images is coming up against sync's attempts to be able to run nicely on the worst devices.
In Thunder, the preview is super blurry and unreadable, but once opened it looks fine.
I'm pretty sure the reddit app I used to use (Relay) had the same issue.
I think there's something wrong with your client or something, because for me it's great quality.
Either find the HD button or open in browser so it loads the whole thing.
Felt that too in the preview but after opening it it worked (use eternity btw)
Huh, have only ever seen the final form of this one. Didn't realize there was a progression.
If you take a finished product and gradually take away pieces, you can make a progression out of pretty much anything.
who makes a list of pizza styles and leaves off Neapolitan?
That's ice cream dummy
Must... Add... New triangles.....

IEEE is also a standards organization alongside ISO, SAE, W3C and ANSI
Tighten up those triangles dammit
Crab ain't too expensive? HUH
Boundary wrapping conditions.
AAAAAH is likewise too expensive.
We're going to need some more dimensions here...
What's the Oxford chess opening?
