@mike808 @tinamarie1974
very nice! but I’m afraid it will be mostly

@chienfou @tinamarie1974

@mike808 @tinamarie1974
I don’t get it…?
BTW TM, how did your post show up above mine even with a later time stamp… you pull some strings???

@chienfou @mike808 @tinamarie1974

Star Trek the Next Generation Season 2 Episode 9.

At least I believe that is the reference. Data is compared to an iron… Or maybe a toaster… Need to watch it again.

@chienfou @mike808 I pulled…something

@chienfou @jst1ofknd @tinamarie1974

@jst1ofknd @mike808 @tinamarie1974
OK. I got that last one…

@chienfou @mike808 @tinamarie1974

I didn’t get it until someone else said they got it.

@chienfou @jst1ofknd @mike808

/giphy over my head

@chienfou @mike808 @tinamarie1974

The last was an Iron E.

@chienfou @jst1ofknd @mike808 oh, duh!

/giphy eye roll

@chienfou @mike808 @tinamarie1974

The more I think about it, the more certain I am that Data was compared to a toaster, so I don’t get the picture of the iron…

@lyoness turn your phone sideways and multiple menu options will appear when you reply

@llangley @lyoness
/giphy really??

@lyoness besides turning your phone, you can use /image or /giphy to bring up something random.

/giphy random meme

/image random meme

@zachdecker
Gah, can’t manage to snag the actual image

@Cerridwyn @zachdecker
You can’t snag it because it is from Instagram.
They want you to be forced to view the rest of whatever they (i.e. Facebook) want to surround it with - like ads or whatever. And to track whomever views it too. It’s as bad as TikTok and Pinterest on hidden tracking.

@mike808 @zachdecker
thank ye

@mike808
thank you again
i guess i have no jpg talent

@Cerridwyn Turn the phone sideways (landscape mode) before you post or hit the edit button.

Then it should open the dialog with the row of icons on the bottom. The one with the mountains (get it - a “picture”) will open another popup dialog where you paste in your link and the “OK” button.

It pastes the magic code into the text box you were in originally in the hidden description (technically the alternate text for accessibility) pre-selected for your description of the picture or just screw it and hit “Save it” to post.

@mike808
yeah, if i was using a phone. full size desk top, so it has to be my personal incompetence

@Cerridwyn
You should see the icon bar at the bottom then. Are you using an old browser/OS or blocking JS, maybe?

@mike808
No, I see/saw it, it just sometimes doesn’t show what you put in it. I’ve seen others this way too, where all you get is an outline and … i forget what it says in there, but the outline is the right shape, the image just doesn’t pull.

@Cerridwyn
Some sites go out of their way to stop image url capture (giphy, tenor, instagram, pintetest, etc). Try right-mouse (or a long-press on mobile) and “view image in new tab” and then cut the link from the new tab. Sometimes you have to use the “search for image” (may be a chrome thing) and then select the image from the Google search results.

@mike808 How do you post a photo of your own that keeps turning sideways? I’m on my phone & I edited the photo to try to correct that, so that it’s sideways in the album but then it shows up just the same way.

@Kyeh You have to edit it in the photo editor and save it as a separate picture. Rotating it in the album just tells the album to display it rotated.

@mike808 Okay, thanks.

@Cerridwyn

A bunch of twitter stuff does not show up for me.

Prob because my browser has some anti-tracking crap in it, and twitter, like FB and some other companies, tries to track the hell outta everything.

My solution:
If i wanna see twitter stuff that normally does not load for me, I open the page in a browser with no tracking controls.

If i wanna load twitter stuff in the hope that everyone will see it, I save the image locally and manually load it into meh, instead of linking to it.

Ditto. Same for webp and webm formats that only Chrome knows how to render, being Google formats. The sites detect you’re using Chrome and give you a webp or webm instead of a gif/jpg/png or mpg, no matter what the url says. on an Android phone, browser options are limited.

@Cerridwyn screen shot whatever you want to upload here. Then upload it. That is what I do if it isn’t already jpeg.

@PocketBrain Here, hold my AR-15 so I can put on my mask.

@zachdecker mine has rum.

@PocketBrain @zachdecker
just make it with Kahlua, then it has coffee, lol
but mine has scotch

was considering this aperitif service that delivers that makes Penicillin with scotch

@Mehrocco_Mole
wait, what?? Did California fall into the ocean and I missed it?

@chienfou @Mehrocco_Mole I am thinking maybe Lake Powell?

@chienfou @Kidsandliz @Mehrocco_Mole
the picture is I believe Brazil, but I could be wrong, remember reading about it on one of the fact checking sites awhile back. funneh!
