I wanted a 2000s/ASCII-era vibe sign to put up when I have extra bread to give away, and my wife came through in spades
I like it a lot, gonna tile it onto four pages and call it a day
Edit: I completed it with a small handwritten note at the bottom:
graphic design is clearly her passion
Can I be your neighbour?
Microsoft Word '97, huh? I liked that one. You knew where you stood with Microsoft Word '97.
It’s like a visual representation of the average persons William Shatner impression
OMG finally the best video on the internet is CONTEXTUALLY RELEVANT
I have waited ten years for this moment a single drop of tear
I love you
You can come bake at my house if you need more kitchen space.
I’m coming, friend_of_satan
Still better than AI slop.
It’s bread, your comment is slop.
God forbid people advertise with an actual photo of their product
Think how awkward the room would be if you got a gift at a party and in front of everyone, holding up your new loaf of bread, you say, “it’s better than AI slop!!”
People would just look at you… confused about the connection. Yes, breAd has an ‘A’ in it.
The post isn’t about the bread though, it’s about the sign, made with love by a real person. Rarer and rarer these days
Yes and the proper response is “nice sign” not “let me ignore your effort and remind everyone that AI permeates everything including a topic trying very hard to avoid AI”
I’m saying some people are so obsessed with AI that they have literally absorbed it into their personalities, and that is as annoying or worse than just scrolling past slop like advertisements.
“ignore your effort”? It’s the opposite, it’s praise for putting in the effort when that’s more optional than ever, that’s the whole thing.
No, if it was praise for the effort it would be literally praising the effort.
If a child walks up to you with a finger painting and says, “look at what I painted,” your don’t say “it’s better that AI slop”
You’re a monster who has been poisoned by AI to be the thing you hate, constantly thinking about AI slop.
The context is very salient because so many people think that asking AI to make a sign is better than doing something handmade.
The comment saying, hey everybody, look at this, this is better than those AI posters, is designed to counteract this notion.
I see your point and agree. Celebrate the presence of good, rather than the absence of bad
Yes. I love your sign. The wavy text brings particular joy to me as I have many good memories of making ridiculous text effects.
You’re missing the point. The original comment was about the sign, not the bread.

You’re just seeing one comment out of a person’s day, how do you know someone pointing that out spends even five minutes a day thinking about AI? And anyway, many people come to social media and especially the fediverse with the intention of discussion the primary issues of our time, one of them being AI, and a style using wordart like this image probably became a highly upvoted post at least in part because of people being sick of AI flyers.
People “obsessed with AI” usually are concerned with the greater issues related to it, like the fascist tech-corpos taking over our government and economic systems, which is a hard thing to not agitate against when you are aware of what’s going on.
I can see comment history.
Please go home and take your medication
I wish old accounts could get punished for breaking rules.
Is having a stick up your ass against the rules?
I thought this was America
Hah. Well, suggesting mental illness for my comments in this thread does have the waft of “not civil” which is rule 5.
Civility online is very subjective.
Love the creativity,
Miss the word-art era
You’ve been added to the Best of Lemmy: https://sh.itjust.works/post/67791129
Awesome!
What does that mean?
It means that if you’re ever in a civil court trial against someone who hasn’t been added to the Best of Lemmy, you win by default.
Ha ha, nothing but basking in the fact that you’ve been chosen.
I’m downloading this so I too can add people to the Best of Lemmy
Please do. I think people want to see what others think are the best of lemmy.
Holy Word 97 Batman!

Do you not think steganography is awesome? I love it, “that’s just my folder of cat photos, Herr Rottenführer”
Quality meme skills. I’d say marry her, but you already did.
Too much^too ^much
Love it.
Free fresh sourdough bread!? Is your wife’s baker seeing anyone??
This fills me with delight lol
You took too much, man. Too much, too much.
She did a really good job with with the shadow, it really invokes the echo from the original.
She did an excellent job capturing the mixture emotions I wanted, 85% enthusiasm/15% abject desperation
