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.

- 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.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- 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.
- 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.

Its been my experience that 125cc motorcycles, Cessna 172's, DJI Mini-2 drones, and Ender-3's are also gateway drugs. Less illegal but just as damaging financially.
I often call e-bikes gateway drugs to motorcycles :)
I'm older, for me normal bikes were gateway drugs to motorcycles.
On the other hand, for me normal bicycles were gateway drugs to even more expensive normal bicycles...
It is a gateway drug, not the. But it is the one that forwards most people to harder drugs.
Since weed is still illegal in many/most places, getting your hands on some could also introduce you to criminal elements that can provide a shorter route to harder drugs.
I write that as I recall joining a buddy as he went to some guys apartment to buy weed, and in the living room we were met with the dealer casually shooting heroin, asking if we'd like some. I can't recall ever having a stronger "holly shit I need to get out of here"-feeling.
I suddenly felt way too close to a road I did not want to go down.
I've been rawdogging life for 31 years
I dare you to try it
I dare you
I tried, it was terrible.
Internet explorer ass comment, 2007 called, they want their hot take back
They're so proud of their "hot take," they took the screenshot themselves to post elsewhere
One of. The biggest is the fact that no one even thinks about sugar or caffeine.
How D.A.R.E. you!
So brave
