God, these are all so ugly

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 38 points 11 months ago

It's so funny seeing them side by side same-picture

Folks, is it just me or is it getting harder to determine if something is a bit or not?

Am I just getting old?

I had to triple check after reading the phrase "See below from Dingaling"

Remember when Seth Green was going to base a show off of his ape and then it got stolen so he couldn't legally use the character's likeness anymore.

[–] 4zi@hexbear.net 31 points 11 months ago

theyre not stolen, he still has the jpeg

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 31 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It was wild at the time, but it's still so wild that these are just quasi-random assemblies of parts. Like this doesn't even have the pretense of being art. Just amazing.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 22 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The art part is how utterly absurd the entire situation is and how incredulous literally everyone else is about it when you attempt to describe them and why they have any value whatsoever.

EVEN THE S TIER APES??? THIS WILL NOT STAND!

APES, MOBILIZE TO HOOT ON CONGRESS

Downside of the price of NFTs collapsing -those hard working hackers will barely get anything out of this.

You know how many slurp juices they had to use to get those apes?

[–] batsforpeace@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

they should just combine their slurp juices into new apes!

[–] Antiwork@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

That's not how slurp juices work. You have to use three slurp juices on an already premium ape to upgrade. slurp juices cannot be used to upgrade a basic ape or create a new ape.

[–] batsforpeace@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

badeline-yeah-right so the slurp juices only work on top tier apes?

[–] BlueMagaChud@hexbear.net 25 points 11 months ago

see below for my dingaling

40 WETH supposedly go for $88.5k.... this shit is so dumb

[–] Sushi_Desires@hexbear.net 1 points 11 months ago

some of the absolute top tier apes

[–] Snackuleata@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wait, did they get all the NFT owner's permission to post all these apes for free, or did they have to abandon the whole concept of the NFT to get their warning out? Funny how the libertarians always have to abandon their principles when the real world happens.

[–] Sushi_Desires@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago

"code is law. Just use a cold wallet bro"

1 hour later:

"help mods i spill my juice! police!!"

[–] buh@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago

you know the situation is crazy when dingaling is chiming in 😔

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Ugh just realized that sooner or later the biggest dollar value "art" heist in history will be of NFTs

If it hasn't happened already

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 26 points 11 months ago

It already has through the act of selling this garbage in the first place

[–] thirtymilliondeadfish@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

until the currency collapses

It would sound ridiculous to people living a decade ago that others would pay thousands of dollars for electronic funny money to buy a juice to fuse jpegs of apes together, which they also bought with said funny money. It's just so ridiculous and convoluted and yet it got as far as it did thanks in part to a decade of loose monetary policy.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago

Screenshot. ohnoes I just commited Grand Theft Ape!

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

[–] Feinsteins_Ghost@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

Poor dingaling

[–] manuallybreathing@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

1 eth is about 2k, so some if these great apes are valued at almost 100k 🤣

[–] Parsani@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

I've lost almost 20 apes today

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

oh no, someone broke into my house and took all the loose change and candy wrappers from my couch cushions
