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:

    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.

            I’m a monster? Dog, take a nap or find yourself some fresh sourdough or something, you’re taking this way too seriously

        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.

          Yes. I love your sign. The wavy text brings particular joy to me as I have many good memories of making ridiculous text effects.

              Omg that’s too much. I love it. I’d take the bread with that sign, and I’m a “no food from coworkers” type of person.

              Now you just need a dot matrix and that ribbon paper with the delicious rippy edges so you can make an entire banner for bread day.
