      To be fair, this one is more relevant now than it was 20 years ago, with watches and pens being IP capable nowadays.

        I never claimed that it’s original content :) I included the quote numbers for all the IRC posts I did, so people can look it up on bash.org . I also slightly edited the posts - adding some color coding and removing clutter info (if applicable) so it’s easier to read. I would’ve posted as text if that formatting was available.

          . I would’ve posted as text if that formatting was available.

          when creating the post, there is a text field for title and body. filling the url link or image is not necessary.

          so my first objection is about the form. you could use a text, or you could use a link - http://bash.org/?quote=5273

          turning a text to image is absolutely horrible thing to do - you turned what could have been 28 bytes into 17 kilobytes, so you increased the size by a factor of 600, and you degraded information in the process!

          (https://xkcd.com/1683/)

          my second objection is that that copying bash entries is meaningless activity - everyone can just go to where they already are to see them.

          and last - that post was not funny when it was new and time did not help it 🤷‍♂️

            Tap dancing Christ, I hope you’re not this dreadful in real life and just being an overly pedantic bore is something you reserve for the internet.

            Yeah, and I could browse every other website on my own to look for content I found relevant but the entire purpose of an aggregation site like Reddit or Lemmy is to…aggregate things.

            and last - that post was not funny when it was new and time did not help it 🤷‍♂️

            I found it amusing enough to toss it an upvote. Which is more than I could say for your needless dull reply.

              yeah, except when you are copying stuff that was already aggregated… then you can just say “hey, are you interested in 20 years all irc quotes that are not really funny? well there is website that si full of them!”

                What… No one new is allowed to see something aggregated in a new platform and/or at a newer time?

                Because fuck me if I never saw it first time around?

                Sorry mate but I’m going to have to give you the old Aussie “yeah… nah…”

                  If the OP isn’t doing anything to raise the discourse, what the fuck is the point of harvesting 20year old unfunny quotes? It’s pseudo-intelllectualism compounding the 20year old pseudo-intellectualism. It should be ridiculed and mocked, not celebrated.

              Maybe the OP could provide some modern discussion to how foolish the people on bash.org are? Maybe do literally anything to raise the discourse?

                To what end? It’s a silly little 5 second joke we’re meant to read and move on. If this had originally been a tweet would you have expected the OP here to have given you a dissertation about the history of twitter and why Elon Musk sucks so much for turning it into a nazi-haven? How would that have been relevant?

                Jesus Christ, you people suck the fun out of things like it’s your damn job.

                  Well you are right, I don’t like reposted tweets with no other effort either. Let’s do better, ilikecheese.

                    This website is exactly what you make of it. I don’t care for shitposts, low effort memes, or just absurdist humor in general, so I make very liberal use of the block community button so I don’t have to see things that other people seem to enjoy, but I don’t.

                    You know what I try really hard not to do though?

                    Go around and bitch about things that other people do like when it’s really fuckin’ easy to just press one button and never see similar content ever again. Maybe you should try it if you find this type of humor isn’t up to your high standards.
