What is with these titleless posts recently? It makes it complicated to open them on desktop, because the title text is the handle that opens the post.

[–] riot@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago

Good question, wish I knew too. Although I didn't even notice at first, because Ive always clicked the comments link.

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've seen it from Mastodon users but OP isn't one of those

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 20 points 1 month ago (3 children)

OP posts some good stuff so i dont wanna complain too much, but if you are too unmotivated for making up titles, just put some random bs or "post title".

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 6 points 1 month ago

No please do, feedback is welcomed. I am sick of writing titles but I’ll come up with something else.

[–] helpImTrappedOnline@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Or artist name? Credit where credit is due. Makes it searchable too

This is one of the reasons for the rule title in 196. It does lower the bar to posting and increase engagement, but there's a reason why some people don't like the deluge of low effort reposts in that community.

Makes them complicated to open on mobile too. Took me a few tries to find the sweet spot. It's like OP wants to decrease engagement in their post...

I've only noticed it very recently, like the last couple days. But I was really busy over the weekend and wasn't on Lemmy much. I use boost and I feel I noticed it happening after Lemmy and boost updates

Did you even sow anything?

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 8 points 1 month ago

Killed it on the execution though

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 1 month ago (6 children)

I'm really grateful the girl skeleton has a bow, how else would I know their gender :p

[–] 0ops@lemm.ee 25 points 1 month ago

If they showed the boob bones they'd have to mark it nsfw

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Can't the artist who made the comic put a bow on a character ?

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Bows are for hair and she ain't got none.

[–] fatalicus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'll let my dad know he can no longer use his bow tie, since he wears it on his neck and not hair.

And I'll let my niece know she has to remove the bows on the clothing her daughter has.

And I'll stop tying my shoelaces in a bow.

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If they don't have hair they're not people sorry.

I would never hurt an alpaca.

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Heard it people, you’re forbidden to wear bows if you don’t have hair

[–] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you ever give a bow to a cancer patient I will hunt you down.

Same stupid juice ya'll smoking.

Why do people suddenly have a problem with this sort of thing? Art has always used exaggerations and tropes to convey things to the viewer more effectively than being realistic would. Lasers don't actually make solid beams of light in the air, evil people don't generally have red eyes or maniacal laughs, and female skeletons don't really have eyelashes and bows. Hell, most women don't even wear bows anymore.

[–] HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

I don't problem, I just find it funny because it's so prevalent :3

[–] gmtom@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

She also has eyelashes

[–] hark@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Who says there can't be a male skeleton wearing a bow named Stacey?

[–] veni_vedi_veni@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Omg... Did you just assume their gender? This is patriarchy manifest, you have no idea how much trouble you're in my guy

[–] pedz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

In a dark dark town, there was a dark dark street, in the dark dark street, there was a dark dark house, in the dark dark house, there were dark dark stairs, down the dark dark stairs, was a dark dark cellar and in the dark dark cellar... Three skeletons lived. But not the ones you're thinking about.

Maybe it's their neighbours.

[–] Deceptichum@quokk.au 2 points 1 month ago

I love funny bones

[–] loomy@lemy.lol 5 points 1 month ago

😮😧😦

[–] waldyrious@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

Nice twist! Reminds me quite a bit of the Perry Bible Fellowship style :)
