We're all going to experience changes in our life but only the best of us will qualify for front row seats.

Right after uploading the image it'll say "Give your post a title..." at which point you hover over the image, select "get share links" from the dropdown menu and copy the BBcode.

Y'all seem to have an encyclopedic knowledge of internet minutia. So there was a series of one-off comics made by two brothers, and the one I remember best had Gandalf standing at the entrance to Bag Eng asking Bilbo to go on an adventure; door opens and a giant worm-Bilbo, the same circumference as the door, comes out and then Gandalf rides him.

In return I offer the best comic about vegetarianism on the internet.

Welp I'm convinced. Clearly non-sequitur aphorisms of justification for boring comics is a an effective way to convert people to not eat meat.

You're thinking of Dubblebaby. It looks like they're done making new comics though, seeing as how the site hasn't updated in quite a while.

Or just right-click the image and "copy image address", which was always the quickest and simplest way to do it.

To quote myself from the China thread:

Gorilla Salad posted:

From what I can make out, this is exactly how they want us to use imgur from now on:

- Chose 'make a post' and drag or select your image to upload. Or click the tiny 'c' on the 'make a post' button and chose what file type you want to upload, because why, I don't know. It does nothing the main button doesn't do.

- Wait for it to upload, then mouseover the image, select the tiny 'c' and chose 'get share links' and copy the code you need.

Simple! :eng99:

I have no idea what the tiny 'c' means or why they have a '7' instead of an 'x' to close popups, but I'm guessing it's a lovely meme injoke.


Every single time imgur does something, they make it worse. This is what happens when autistic nerds design your interface without any outside help. It's the BMW i8 of websites.


In other words, "Hurrr, I'm good at code, so I must also be good at design."

I haven't looked at the page, but I'll bet dollars to donuts that the guide was written by someone using noscript. Web 67.0 designers apparently love putting icons into fonts rather than using SVG files directly (or indirectly) for some reason, and noscript blocks the custom fonts from running by default. Instead of icons, you end up with 'c' and '7'

I can confirm this.

Here is Imgur's front page:

And here it is with NoScript running on its default settings:

The default settings also block uploads from happening because Imgur uses Javascript. The reason people use things like Noscript is because Javascript is hugely exploitable and potentially dangerous - and it's likely mostly so exploitable and dangerous because it's such a ubiquitous part of the internet experience that it's an obvious thing to seek out exploits for (not that it couldn't be better - I am not a computer scientist and I don't know the merits or dangers of Javascript specifically).

There's a comic I'm trying to find called something like "acts of rebellion for the modern workplace" (not the one where the office workers go feral) that was basically like petty ways to react to lovely job conditions... I seem to remember one of them was someone eating a lobster as their sad desk lunch? Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about? Thanks in advance.

There is a new Pokemon game that came out very recently where Pokemons and gyms are located in the "real world" at GPS coordinates, you have to walk around your neighbourhood searching for Pokemans and trying to take over gyms.

This happened to my aunt before. I guess a robber chickened out but left the deposit slip he wrote his message on. She fills out the deposit slip, and ends up handing the teller a slip that says "I have a gun, give me all the money you have" written on the back of it. The blood drained from the teller's face pretty quick. Luckily she decided to actually ask my aunt if she wrote it rather than just trigger the silent alarm or w/e
