Oh I love the JPEG effect they've applied to the image, really makes it look like it's been re-saved 10,000 times since 2003.
The other results had iFunny and 9GAG watermarks on them and/or were even more deepfried with compression.
But somehow, the JPEG artifacts give this one a nice cozy feel. Seeing this ancient meme again was like meeting an old friend.
Hello JPEG, my old friend
I've come to post you again
Because a vision softly blurring
Left its compression while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains within the artifacts of JPEG
In restless dreams I browsed alone
Narrow memes of low quality
'Neath the halo of a monitor
I turned my eyes to the blurry screen
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a pixel light
That split the night
And touched the artifacts of JPEG
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand memes, maybe more
People reposting without sharing
People uploading without caring
People posting things that eyes once saw
And no one dared
Disturb the artifacts of JPEG
“Fools”, said I, “You do not know
JPEG like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my files that I might reach you”
But my words, like silent raindrops, fell
And echoed in the blur of JPEG
And the people bowed and prayed
To the JPEG god they made
And the website flashed out its repost
In the words that it was compressing
And the website said, “The answer to your query
Is lost in the data
And it’s all in the artifacts of JPEG”
I really enjoyed that. Thank you
Are jpg’s still used today for most things? Or did they quietly die like mp3 did
Somewhat. I'll often share a JPG over a PNG if the filesize is massive as the compression isn't too bad these days.
Although everything is moving over to WebP I think, but it's not as widespread yet.
I think both of those are still used extensively.
When did mp3 die?
All my songs still are mp3.
At one point i reripped my entire CD collection to lossless only to find out my infotainment system in my truck does not read anything but mp3.
How large is your collection? Did you end up converting all the files, or just buy a different truck?
I found out a long time ago that I can’t hear the difference between compression levels starting at 192kbps. So there really isn’t any use for lossless for me.
I remember reading that they stopped supporting it a couple years back
The infamous they.
Um excuse me m8 could you please find me three peer reviewed journals that prove to me that mp3 is still supported
You’re making the claim that mp3 is unsupported while I listen to mp3s on my smartphone, my linux laptop and my MS laptop without issues, my friend.
Oh unsupported to me just means it doesnt recieve updates or fixes. Apparently aac kindve superseeded it
It is, but it probably shouldn’t be any more. WebP has good support everywhere now and is slightly better than JPEG and PNG combined. (Better lossy compression than JPEG, plus transparency support, and better lossless compression than PNG). But even WebP is considered lame these days compared to the new crop.
E.g., JXL (JPEG XL) is much better WebP and is supported by everyone except Google (which is ironic since Google helped create it). Google seems to want AVIF to be the winner for the new image format, but not many others do.
Anyway, until the Google JXL AVIF hissy fit is dealt with, at least we’ve still got WebP. It’s not super great, but it’s at least better than JPEG and PNG. A lot of web developers are stuck in their old JPEG PNG mindset and are being slow to adapt, so JPEG is still hanging around.
My camera app on my phone and my screenshot tool on my computer both save as jpg by default

Bro I remember seeing the original picture posted in 2003
Is this the Sepia of the future?
He is telling you to run away - do it, do it now! :-P
Does anyone else use Memmy?
I ask because the links to new communities never work for me. Curious if it’s the same for others.
I don’t know how it is with Memmy, but in-browser I always need to open a new community twice. The first time it gives an error but it starts fetching, the second time it works.
I use boost and both links work for me
Memmy development seems essentially dead, I would move on.
I use Voyager now.
Damn, really? I’m a fan of the ui. Is voyager an app now? Not into web based platforms.
Yep you can download a native app that has a bit more features than the web app.
Sweet I’ll give it a shot, thanks.

This is older than dust
Its so old it was made with Paint Shop Pro
It’s so old this photo fucked everyone’s mom and the photo is actually just your dad.
How do you like them apples.
Or PC paint
This comment hurt me on a deep level.
PSP was the shit.
Edit: and vivid scenes of using it and CorelDraw just popped into my head. Damn it.
It was a toss up between Corel and PSP, but i went with the shareware.
That’s pretty good for a week of practice. Almost too good.
Aside from the giant one. If you kept the camera on a tripod it’s just a case of taking pictures in all the different places. Then in photoshop nothing more complex than loading each image as it’s own layer and then masking them to keep yourself but not too much off the background. The background would be the bottom layer with nothing in shot.
All the pictures can be taken in a single afternoon. Overlaying all the pictures and then removing the appropriate parts with an erasor tool takes less than an hour. The most challenging part is the big giant one I the background, as that requires time to make a neat cut-out with a selection tool.
Overall, this would still take… Less than a day to do, if you got a decent tripod.
I think you’re vastly under-estimating the difficulty of doing something like this by someone who literally had not heard of photoshop a week prior. Especially when we’re speaking of someone whose being refered as “uncle”
This is older than the average lemming for fucks sake, I saw this meme in the early days of Facebook and it was old back then
but now it’s federated :)
I found the oldest version from 2014 on imgur

Wow, he spent some time on that!
Even that has some visible jpeg
What a blast from the past, thanks for posting
This is older than Internet Explorer
90s Uncle Goliath? 🤣
Random thought but why do the provided links never work in Memmy? They don’t redirect.
If it’s all of these links and just on Memmy, it’s probably an issue with the app. I use Voyager and they work fine. You could ask about that at !memmy@lemmy.ml or file an issue at their GitHub if someone hasn’t already.
Memmy development is basically dead. Try something else.
Unfortunately he saved it as a JPEG 87 times in a row.
People should just use png or webp.
