Pro tip for everybody: do not post any text as images

Never should I receive a Java exception hundreds of lines long as a cut off JPEG file.

Or a screenshot of a Google Sheet missing the information you’re talking to me about.

We made this to be used as a reply when pictures are misused where text would be better:

  • Why ruin the message by writing half of it upside down?

    • Yep, as the sibling said, it’s to prove the point in a snarky manner. The yellow-on-white color, the wobbling, upside down path of text, the font choice, the unrelated image; all of these serve to make the concept actively hard to process.

      Hopefully this sparks a little “wow I wonder if my image of text was also hard to read like I just experienced” moment.
