This works really well with Werner Herzog quotes
Edited screenshot of the 1990 game 'Secret of Monkey Island', with Guybrush Threepwood's dialogue saying "I think there should be a holy war against yoga classes", a quote from German filmmaker Werner Herzog. Edited screenshot of the 1991 game 'Duke Nukem', with the Duke's dialogue saying "Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life", a quote from German filmmaker Werner Herzog. Edited screenshot of the 1999 game 'Pokémon Snap', with Professor Oak's dialogue saying "Civilization is like a thin layer of ice upon an ocean of darkness and chaos", a quote from German filmmaker Werner Herzog. Edited screenshot of the 2004 game 'the Sims 2, with a Sim version of Werner Herzog saying "Look into the eyes of a chicken and you will see real stupidity. It is a kind of bottomless stupidity, a fiendish stupidity. They are the most horrifying, cannibalistic and nightmarish creatures in the world".

the way Immigration climbed as an 'issue of importance' during 2024 and then declined after the election really does prove we're a bunch of sheep
The image is a line graph depicting polling data on the most important issues to Americans from 2023 to 2025. The horizontal axis represents time, marked from 2023 to 2025, while the vertical axis denotes the percentage of U.S. adult citizens, ranging from 0% to 30%. The graph features multiple colored lines, each representing a different issue: -Inflation/prices (gray line) starts at around 22%, peaking near 28%, and fluctuating to settle at 25%. -Jobs and the economy (green line) remains between 10% and 18%, ending at 15%. -Health care (red line) stays around 10% throughout. -Immigration (purple line) hovers around 8%. -Civil rights (blue line) averages around 7%.

Of course women don't like the Cybertruck.

Women only want one thing, and it's a D&RGW K-36.
Vintage 1960s photograph of a steam locomotive - D&RGW K-36 number 483 - moving along a railroad track. The train is set against a rugged backdrop of rocky hills and sparse vegetation. The locomotive is black with a large, round silver front bearing the number "483." A glowing headlight is situated above the front of the train. Behind the locomotive a line of freight cars extends into the distance. To the right of the train, there is a tall, cylindrical wooden water tower with a weathered appearance. The landscape is mostly arid with shrubs and grass scattered across the ground. Photograph by Franklin Adams, accessed via flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/fthedaddyof3/48146891672

They were happy to just sit in the grass by the trail, letting me snap this picture, only leaving when I said "hey you should probably move, someone might step on you"

this gas pump in Project Zomboid is basically the trans flag 🏳️‍⚧️
Screenshot from the game Project Zomboid, showing a blue van at a gas station with four gas pumps. The gas pumps are decorated with a pattern of five stripes: light blue, pink, white, pink, light blue, the same colors as the transgender pride flag. A zoomed-in crop of the first image, focusing on one of the gas pumps. The blue-pink-white-pink-blue pattern is more clearly seen.

Give me a single screenshot from a video game that immediately makes you hear the soundtrack in your head.
A screenshot from the opening cinematic of the 1993 video game MYST. A starry night sky is cleft by a fissure revealing a dark blue sky, the silhouette of a falling man against the bright light of a crescent moon.

One year since my beautiful son showed up wet and sad, and now he's king of the castle. #caturday #CatDistributionSystem
A grey domestic cat sitting among fallen leaves outdoors. The cat is looking away from the camera. The scene is lit by a camera flash. A grey domestic cat sits relaxed in "loaf" position in leaves outdoors. The sun is shining through trees, creating a dappled pattern against the cat's fur. A domestic short-haired cat with gray fur relaxes on a blanket, showcasing its whiskers and relaxed demeanor. The cat has wide eyes and dilated pupils and is looking right at the camera, possibly being interested in the person taking the picture. A domestic cat with shiny grey fur and prominent whiskers sits on a shelf. It looks relaxed, looking at the camera with lidded eyes.
