If anyone wants to replicate this unholy image, it was made with ImageMagick at 1% JPEG quality.

    It’s clearly from 1995 as per the plucky Word art, so it’s bound to be a repost by now.

      Ah, it’s LibreOffice Fontwork on my modern Linux desktop, just screenshotted and comically compressed to look that bad. I did genuinely consider installing my copy of Word 2003 on WINE to make this though, because classic Microsoft Word WordArt is funny as hell.

    The real magic happens when people take a screenshot of the pic, crop it and reshare.

    Don’t wanna brag, but I know at least two such heros.

      This is the sort of thing that leads to compression artifacts so bad even just black and white text looks like a snowstorm. It’s almost impressive, in a way.

    Ain’t nothing wrong with a ‘repost’* the issue is not spending 10 seconds to find a better copy instead of sharing whatever horrible quality version or one with needless edits/censoring that you happened to run into.

    *This does not include posting something that has been already posted recently
