I mean, surely the meme itself wasn't the joke. That would be terrible.

In retrospect, it's probably best not to put the watermark in the final panel.

A good spot would be behind the word " sentient", so that you can read join lemmy faintly above it. This would discourage lazy people from removing or altering it

Nah, the worst part is it’s not even original. This has been getting passed around for about a year.

No. Memes are for the people. No brands, no watermarks. Putting logos and trademarks on everything to indicate who they belong to is what corporations do.

Besides, I'm not even ON lemmy, yet I can post here too.

They are for the people, but what's the problem with showing where a meme originated from?

5
lemm.ee

They all originate from either a goth teenager or some 40yr old in his parents basement. Why give credit to a random posting platform?

It's more about calling people to join, not about claiming authorship from my perspective

*sapient. If it were merely sentient it could sense the bodily waste, but would be incapable of feeling any way about it.

This is a rare case where sentient is being used correctly. Sentient beings do have feelings, e.g. dogs and cats are sentient and can have cravings and even feel hate.

Sapient means having enough intellect to understand and reason about the situation. The post doesn't actually require that.

It would react like the robot in the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy.

The doors in HHGTTG are extremely satisfied to perform their job. They are very happy to open and close for you and let out a very small happy sigh when completing their tasks.

Imagine if you took a nasty dump and the toilet let out a satisfied "Ahhhhhhh..."

Isn't this a thing from Hitchhiker's Guide? IIRC there's a company that creates sentient, emotional AIs and installs them into things like doors and elevators to make them enjoy their jobs and make the appliances even more useful... but everyone just ends up hating them?

Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they tell me to take you up to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? Cause I don't.

First thing I thought of, as well. That scene gave me nightmares as a child.

What if the toilet played ads at you based on the food you shit out, where you can't flush the toilet until it's finished?

Oh god. Imagine taking the biggest shit of your life, almost passing out just from the smell.

And then the ad service goes down...

Please reconnect to a network to resume flushing.

Contact your plumbing administrator.

Society is not yet ready for sentient plant creatures who get excited when it's time to fulfill their role of cleaning up our waste products.

I got a worse one

You wake up with yourself standing on your feet, you realize you are half way penetrating your own mother and your dad is half way inside of you, now do you push forward or pull back to get away?

Well, the easy choice is the right choice. Squat down, and wrap your lips around the pole as it penetrates the hole. You're going to be the grapefruit, honey.

Dude some of us appreciate saving and sharing a crisp meme. Watermarks are the antithesis of that, for a number of reasons.

But I can't tell if this watermark is ironic or not.

If it wasn’t created by Mark, can it really be called a watermark?

3
lemmy.world

All real watermarks come from the watermark region in France. Otherwise it's called a sparkling transparent logo.
