A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  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.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

You also get to walk away from your coworker and not think about them every day at the same time, which luxury is no longer available when you become a couple.

Until she quits and gets a better job. And he does the same.

Worked for us. :-)

Oh god. It went from threads to reddit to lemmy. I want to hurl.

[–] olafurp@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Lol, how else are we going to see it here if we don't go to reddit on threads?

[–] malloc@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Threads is still relevant?

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (5 children)

I mean it claims 12 k somethings.. that's probably more upvotes than total upvotes cast in a day on lemmy

As occasionally using Meta services, I have a feeling that they are by far in the dead internet, the bots outnumber humans.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

Sure, but.. a top post in 6hrs here might be pushing 1k upvotes and 50 comments.

Let's just be honest about how things are

Isn’t that what they call an “office 8”?

[–] Lupus108@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 day ago (1 children)

A friend recently said to me "you're at least a village 8.5". I'm still not sure if that's a compliment or an insult.

[–] Grizzlybur@piefed.ca 25 points 1 day ago

Depends… do you live in a village or the city?

[–] deacon@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Almost seems backwards. If you’re spending that much time in close proximity to a person and you are finding them attractive, that would seem to be a good sign.

[–] GhostFace@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago

The point is that you shouldn't feel that comfortable with your coworkers. People have lives outside their workplaces.

You should bond with people you spend lots of time with. You shouldn't feel you have to date them just because you're bonding with them over that time.

This explains why my wife-to-be showed any interest at all in me at first.

OOP's statement still holds up for some of us who work alone.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Don't insult my mom like that

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 21 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay, fine, your mom is very attractive. She single?

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Maybe... what are you intentions ?

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 29 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You have a much better shot at his mom than finding a nice place to work.

My coworker IS attractive. My coworker is also my spouse.

[–] pocopene@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

As the Sapnish saying goes "el roce hace el cariño", that roughly translates as "you get fond of the people you spend time with"

[–] bizarroland@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Why is it in English then that familiarity breeds contempt?

[–] button_masher@lemmy.ml 24 points 1 day ago

It's probably because of the English. Don't get too close to them.

[–] Droechai@piefed.blahaj.zone 12 points 1 day ago

Becuse they are talking about the English

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

What if you thought they were hot as soon as you started? It has happened to me and I am pretty sure they were attractive.

[–] Gonzako@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

Isnt it reasonable? that the people you spend so much time with would build trust?
