I’ll join. The Fediverse needs a quote community outside of .ml, so hopefully you can keep it going.

Note that you should also follow the advice in Dave’s comment, here:

Also, I suspect… good to acknowledge that we’re all prey to that mental shortcoming.

Like, sometimes there’s the urge to completely banish subjective / cloudy thinking from our logic processes, I suppose, but at the same time… doesn’t that also kind of limit our understanding of ‘opposites?’ I.e., people who function so viscerally in terms of outrage, buttons pushed… and of course, the deep, dark, fundamental fear of the unknown…?

My theory is that it’s highly important to understand how other folks think, if that makes sense.

In a way that checks out, given that the book Sapiens proposed that the very earliest need and use for language involved the urge to gossip about others.

Let that sink in…

Fascinating.

And for those of us who… well.
Are there Cliff’s Notes?

I see it from PieFed.Social. I’d absolutely love it if we got more FV content here, such as NodeBB. :D

Some of the early ones are pretty awkward, but this is gold.

And I mean, specifically-- not “awkward” in that the joke was bad, uncreative or unfunny, but moreso that Larson was clearly still in that formative period, still with some rough edges to work out in his comics mastering.

It’s periods like these really, that I consistently find utterly fascinating. Particularly when the creator is pretty dang genius. Not unlike Groening and team behind Simpsons S1, if that makes sense.

I couldn’t find much about this specific one, but decided to throw the reproduction issue out to GPT5.2, FWIW.

Grids and lightboxes are some classic art reproduction methods, so that makes a lot of sense. “Pricking and pouncing” seem to check out with some searching, and evidently they also used “pouncing wheels” to facilitate that, also classically used in transferring patterns in sewing.

This all kind of interests me particularly, as a part-time artist.

That’s incredible.

Would monks (or whoever) actually try to copy something like that, in producing more editions?

Really? What about it do you miss? (presuming)

Earlier, I noticed Dave’s top-voted comment to help get more eyes on the place:

Not quite sure how that all works yet, but I guess I might need to do that for my own community, plus an upcoming one.

You think? With those things you mention, you can make a product that pushes the right buttons, hits the right notes, and be done with it, letting it sell itself on its own from that point forward.

Now compare that to relaunching a major social media platform and keeping it alive with investor money until it eventually and hopefully ‘makes it.’ Seems like a considerably different thing to me.

I’m reminded of the Arsenio Hall Show which ran from '89-94, did well for its time, but whose shelf life kind of naturally expired. They tried to bring it back in 2013, but cancelled it after a single season, because… nostalgia could only prop it up for so long. Or something like that.

Keeping in mind that I didn’t use Digg much back in the day, I don’t really understand the idea of re-launching a service that fell out of use in the first place.

Or if MySpace (etc) was to relaunch with modern features, could it expect to succeed out of nostalgia, or something…?

Photography that looks like a painting. Amazing.

I’m honestly impressed by the number of ways people have turned a relatively cool & fun word in to something more and more annoying with each variation.

Of course, that’s just me vibesnaping. 👺

I was addressing OP’s need.

It’s up to Lemmy.World to determine how they want to handle the acct / community.

Btw, what do you think about adding this one to the sidebar? It’s got a similar spirit, and I plan to keep contributing to both communities:

lemmy.world/c/outofcontextcomics

!outofcontextcomics@lemmy.world

I’ve just added three I had in the hopper.

I might contribute some completely original ones once in a while, but I’m not a big fan of spending time monkeying around with graphics. “Nietzsche Family Circus” is easy, because it’s already set up as a tool. Same with “Build Your Own Meat,” which I’ll try to share in coming days.

Otherwise I’ll probably be on the lookout for stuff like the “Dennis is a Menace” tribute / satire stuff by other people. Anyway, good to see you finally started this project!

Every single post in that community seems to be like that.

Seems like it might be a bot acct just following… well, whatever script that might be for.

EDIT: You could just block the community if those posts start to annoy you.

I would tend to think that the escapist and addictive qualities of some games contribute to negative perceptions. There really are gamers that take it too far, for the worse.

But on the whole, I believe studies show that gaming in moderation has a host of healthy benefits.
