  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I'm carving this into the pyramids where it doesn't belong, to throw archeologists for a loop

Cool! Putting these in a search engine one by one, I get

  • The first three are used to describe “beautiful,” “perfect,” or “good:” 𓄤𓆑𓂋 1
  • 𓅱 = quail chick, used also for the plural word ending (I'm going with this, because the other meaning is "Field, district, region")
  • 𓏭 = plural, majority, collective concept (e.g. meat, jwf), duality. Can be used as a replacement for signs perceived to be dangerous to actually write. (I can't really make sense of this one, maybe it's just some sort of stress)
  • 𓄖 = Hindquarters of leopard or lion <= aha!
  • 𓎡 this apparently only has a phonetic value of 'k'???

I learned a little about hieroglyphics today. Just enough to realize they are both complex & well researched.

Late response, but Wiktionary puts cat's ass and plural quails together to mean buttocks (I wish I'd found this before manually looking up each symbol!):

puts cat’s ass and plural quails together

The order doesn't seem to matter though!
