Remember when You used to see pictures like this and laughed at the thought of someone posing for it. Or wondering how it happened. Now we just assume it's AI and move on.

A lot of these ancient weird memes were photos from GISHWHES.

Never knew about this. Shame it ended, I would like to participate.

I have a feeling it will come back. Misha has been dropping hints for a while. If it does and you decide to join, be sure to join up with a local group or drag your family and friends into it - it's way more fun with a big group of people.

This makes perfect sense. Darth Vader just wants some high quality H2O.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

He's literally from a desert planet and his family farmed moisture. I guess you never really get used to the abundance of water...
