    usually i think it’s cringe when people shit on the linguistics of memes, but this is the most non-pov “pov” post i’ve ever seen. the meaning would be the EXACT same if they just hadn’t included the dumbass “pov:” part. fucking spotify marketing intern ass buzzword

        That’s… what a photo is. While technically correct, no one would use “Photo:” as a meme format. It’s just redundant and dumb.

          Are we really using redundancy and dumbness as a point against a meme format?

          "When you

          When you shit your pants"

          Is literally an old meme format where repeating the top line is part of the joke.

          Plus there’s “BOTTOM TEXT” which is just completely stupid but funny.

          We must be seeing different memes.

    Oh this reminds me when people discovered all the printers at school were available on the WiFi

      If it makes you feel any better, before the days of ubiquitous wi-fi, printers on wired networks in my school were about as easy to discover and use from a distance. FTPing a text file to one would start a print job for that file and it would be trivial to mash together that information plus a list of printer addresses for the entire district network (courtesy of nmap).

      This information was certainly never put to use.

      That’s incredible.

      Then again, school IT jobs are often given to “my nephew who is good with computers”, because the pay is often half compared to the private sector.

          My brother works for a school with 200 kids PreK-12. He’s a teacher, but he also does IT. He gets a $500/yr stipend, and he calls me at least twice a week with basic questions that are solved 95% of the time by rebooting the computer.

          I’ve told him a number of times the district owes me that stipend lol

    my brain is churning through char limits… i just cant believe it would be large enough through multiple systems…but then, i dont know the char count of the script, compression techniques used, encapsulation etc.
