A tip for (more or less) cleaning up jpeg artifacts:

Selective Gaussian Blur

[–] rustydomino@lemmy.world 56 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Isn’t part of the charm of memes the shitty compression artifacts?

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 25 points 9 months ago

It is a metric to judge the age of the meme by.

Internet historians love em!

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 33 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I was in a Glam/prog rock fusion band called Selective Gaussian Blur. We were positively atrocious.

[–] miss_brainfarts@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 9 months ago

Now that truly is a band name right there

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

At least you weren't negatively atrocious. That would be bad.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

We did have SOME standards, after all!

[–] Franzia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 9 months ago (5 children)

Memes should be stored in vector format rather than compressed pixels 🙈

I wonder, is there and algorithm to check how many times an image was reposted solely based on the artifacts? 🤔

[–] Guru_Insights99@lemm.ee 3 points 9 months ago

As a connoisseur of technology, the rationale behind this phenomenon resides in the fact that the aforementioned image was captured precisely seven hours subsequent to the creation of the post. Consequently, the temporal emphasis predominantly lies upon the image itself, thereby insinuating that said image has existed in the digital realm for a duration exceeding ten years. This engenders an optical fallacy wherein the image appears to have traversed the vast expanse of time in a mere flicker of moments.

There is a YouTube series "Odd One Out" by Jubilee with that premise, not necessarily gay but other social groups as well. In one episode, there really were only Odds and no one how was what they pretended all to be

[–] tacofox@lemm.ee 5 points 9 months ago

Started watching it based on your comment. It’s mid, but good enough to watch and can be funny. I am hoping it picks up a bit though.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 66 points 9 months ago (2 children)

What if there are zero straight men at the end?

[–] SpraynardKruger@lemmy.world 53 points 9 months ago

You both win an all-expenses-paid romantic getaway with your new soul mate/fellow contestant.

This would be a nightmare because I have no idea what the signals look like.

[–] SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 27 points 9 months ago

Are you swinging clockwise or counter clockwise?

[–] essellburns@beehaw.org 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The show would be very revealing as we'd learn what 12 men think the signals look like!

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 6 points 9 months ago

Or rather the opposite of the signals look like

[–] irmoz@reddthat.com 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What signals?

[–] Fudoshin@feddit.uk 26 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Maybe the ones that ping on "gaydar"?

[–] tryptaminev@feddit.de 28 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Gaydar is a 1312 kHz signal.the encryption is specified in ISO: 11919

Had a girl one time tell me she has perfect gaydar. Asked her if I was and without skipping a beat she said “yeah you are”…. Spoiler: I’m not.

FRIENDZONED

[–] ramble81@lemm.ee 7 points 9 months ago

Luckily she was just a friend of mine who was already married. But her look when I said that I’m not was priceless.

This is brilliant.

[–] uriel238@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

So when one of them is voted off, does a screen plate report the exiled contestant is gay? Because if they're all typical straights and the comedy is based on them being at least a bit homophobic.

This reminds me of classic USMC gay chicken, which seems to be a conspiracy to turn all our fresh trained marines ~~totally gay~~ questioning.

[–] FakeGreekGirl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 32 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So it's gay Werewolf?

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 11 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I saw that movie.

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

which movie is that? The Fandom (2020)?

[–] lowleveldata@programming.dev 30 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Do it with girls and I'd watch it

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 8 points 9 months ago

Do a gay show and a lesbian show. I'll watch both

[–] grue@lemmy.world 19 points 9 months ago (2 children)

If all the men are straight, the game will end after one week no matter who gets voted out (and everybody except the one guy who's worst at acting gay gets $1M).

I guess that's not a problem, as long as the folks making it are okay with it being a one-off special and not a series.

[–] nvvp@discuss.tchncs.de 23 points 9 months ago

That's just the cover story to tell the contestants. The real game is seeing a bunch of straight guys pretending to be gay. Probably poorly.

[–] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 16 points 9 months ago (2 children)

No, it ends when you're down to two people. That's ten people who have to be voted off, so ten weeks of TV.

Then you reveal the premise to the last two guys, and tell them that they have to roshambo for the prize money.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Once a week someone gets outvoted, until 2 are left, or the straight man is out

(emphasis added)

If they're all straight, then the straight man is necessarily voted out the first week.

[–] 1rre@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I'm only getting into semantics because you are - that statement is singular and definite, therefore it can only be taken to have one of two meanings:

A) a given straight man is selected at the start, and once he is voted out it ends.

B) it ends once the final straight man is voted out, as at that point he would be the straight man. This can never occur as he would win by being the only one remaining, so there would be no vote for him to vote himself out.

If they're all straight without a single selection at the start, then there is not a definite straight man, and even if there is one selected at the start there's only a 1/12 chance he gets voted out first.

Nah, let them play a game of chicken.

The one doing the most gay thing wins. See how far both of them would go.

[–] norbert@kbin.social 10 points 9 months ago

Suddenly it just becomes "who'll make a gay porno for 7 figures?"

The answer is everyone.

Gay chicken orgies?

[–] SternburgExport@feddit.de 12 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

I would be voted out so fucking quick and I‘m proud of it.

Edit: Oh fuck my dumbass misread this and thought gay people would be voted out

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 30 points 9 months ago

Weird thing to brag about.

[–] ChemicalPilgrim@lemmy.world 21 points 9 months ago

Big "I'm not gay! I'm not gay!" Energy lmao

[–] Magnus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 9 months ago

Big "I'm gay I'm gay!" energy in that edit

[–] alignedchaos@sh.itjust.works 6 points 9 months ago

Who do you feel the need to convince of this? Yourself? Lol

[–] MeepsTheBard@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 9 months ago (2 children)

The more time that passes between each repost is more time for the premise to be less "2005 dude-bros can't fathom being unmasculine for a second" and more "when did Troye Sivan write this?"
