Hear me out, you can append any data at the end of JPEG image without corrupting it. It can also be raw PCM audio, and then it could be played with aplay and a bit of wait because you'll also listen to the image itself at first.
Half the time, people seem to upload otherwise perfectly complete still pictures as reel with some dumb music over it because if you're not constantly assaulted by the same popular song snippets over and over on every post, are you even paying attention?
Particularly pernicious are ones with some sad or bittersweet content that will have some variant of "generic slow piano with a female, breathy voice singing some words that sound sad but you couldn't actually tell what it's about without listening to more than the five seconds used in this looping video".
Yeah, well, it's awful and annoying and shitty and I wish it'd stop doing that. I wish it'd stop doing a lot of things, to be honest, but that's beside the point.
I don't use it, but my GF does. She'll have the volume up for some video that does interest her, then be scrolling through and treat me to the audible part of that trend without even seeing the funny / cute / insightful / boring picture to accompany and potentially compensate the acoustic pollution. She's thoroughly numbed to it, but I'm not and I hate it.
(I've dropped the idea of getting her to quit the app, that battle just isn't worth fighting.)
Consistency is a big problem for webcomics because they rely on repeat traffic to make money. C&H still has this, but they still have the ability to make me shake my head and say "Jesus fucking Christ" out loud every now and then.
Why is there a button to unmute this comic strip?
The link wouldn't work so I had to resort to a screenshot.
Thank you for muting it!
It's not working I can still hear the screams

It's a screenshot from Instagram. That's what OP was trying to say.
Instagram always does this?

I believe this is because Instagram's algorithm currently favours reels over still images

Only when the post author chooses to include sound.
IG’s stills-meme meta is prob mostly with background music

The original was seemingly taken down, but it's archived at https://web.archive.org/web/20210305031852/https://explosm.net/comics/4584/Edit: just saw that the link simply broke over time and leads to an incorrect page now for some reason. https://explosm.net/comics/dave-genieweek-2 is the new location.
I did not give you permission to barge into my life with a new fetish.

Okay, which hentai was this inspired by?
Edit: Out of scientific curiosity, of course.
The link is wrong. It should be this:

Also, here's the original image.
The last panel should just be muffled humming noises because his mouth is full of genie
How are you so good at this? A Lemmy treasure for sure
"I can't leave until you make 3 wishes!"
"Nice, that's perfect!"
KEEP MY LAMPS SPOUT OUT OF YOUR BUTT!
Will Smith as the Genie
* genie comes out through the nose
I LOOKED EVERYWHERE AND COULDN'T FIND THE COCAINE!
Robin Williams as The Genie
(R.I.P., you crazy bastard)
SMACK
also Will-Cuck-Smith
Thank you. You just made my day.
Same, this had me giggling like an idiot for five minutes easy

What an asshole...
Genie as an alternative to CT scan interesting.

I wonder how that would feel.
Also, if you unplug the lamp with the genie still on, what would happen?
It would be violently unpleasant without a lot of prep. Most likely you'd get an answer to the Ant Man - Thanos question.
assgasm?
