Every time I see that face I want to get violent. I want to just bash his head in with an axe handle. That fake ass fucking smile just drives me to rage and I don't know why.

[–] DigitalForest@lemmy.world 3 points 36 minutes ago

The smile doesn't reach his eyes. When someone is genuinely smiling, the area around the eyes wrinkle up some (especially the outside corners). Fake smiles don't do that, not without conscious effort. It's so unsettling because it's setting off an instinctual urge of "this guy is being deceptive and is likely a threat". You can check by covering part of the face in the image: cover the mouth, and the eyes just look dead and soulless.

I'm not usually one to knock someone's appearance but you're right with this guy's weird friggin grin. Like it's not genuine or even appearing to be, in the slightest.

It's so cynical, cold, creepy and soulless. How did the A-B testing that drives his every single decision settle on that expression?

Flexboxes are cool but their naming conventions are shiet

After adding rounded corners.

[–] undefinedTruth@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Ah, I remember the days when they used to be using PNGs for those.

[–] ArseAssassin@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 hours ago

Ah, and I remember doing it.

I wish I didn't.

[–] SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 22 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

display: grid for a single element feels kinda cursed to me

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 6 hours ago

It definitely is lol. You’d use this for a landing page content container or something.

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Just throw it in a flexbox with margin: auto

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 47 points 10 hours ago (4 children)

Holy shit those lifeless eyes give me the creeps

[–] zurohki@aussie.zone 25 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I stand by my description of him: "That guy in Youtube thumbnails who smiles with his teeth but not his eyes."

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 23 points 8 hours ago (4 children)

I just took a screenshot of the image and then cropped the bottom of his face out, there is no denying it

Jason Segel really carried that show

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

he looks like he's crying

[–] Enkrod@feddit.org 7 points 7 hours ago

Dont dead open inside

[–] Horse@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

he definitely has corpses under his lawn


[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 4 points 7 hours ago

Omg are we bringing back forum signatures?! Throws reins off in joy

[–] otacon239@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I don’t know what it is, but I just simply can’t believe that the guy is not deeply involved in some of the most twisted shit.

[–] Sineljora@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 hours ago

Well, Jimmy Donaldson is guilty of torture and running illegal sweepstakes at the very least. His company is also the perfect place for Epstein class wannabes, which I’ve heard rumblings about but nothing concrete.

[–] Grail@multiverse.soulism.net 7 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

I don't think there's a lot going on in Jimmy's head. Jimmy got his start on youtube by counting to 100,000. Then he just did whatever video idea he thought would get the most views. He's not a creative or intelligent person. Jimmy never really stopped counting.

[–] plenipotentprotogod@lemmy.world 8 points 7 hours ago

Not sure if you referenced it on purpose, but Folding Ideas recently published a deep dive video essay on the Mr. Beast empire, and I believe that "Jimmy never stopped counting" was their conclusion as well.

It's a great video. I'd recommend it if you haven't seen it.

No Claude? No problem! Just ask one of the many other LLMs for the answer. Easiest million ever!

Fucking jumpscare

[–] xangadix@lemmy.world 106 points 13 hours ago (4 children)

I am <center><div>fuck Mr beast</div></center> old

[–] CannonFodder@lemmy.world 57 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

margin-left: 276px;

Adjust number until it looks centered. Easy peasy.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 7 points 4 hours ago

Make sure to put !important at the end just to be sure.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 4 points 5 hours ago

Best viewed on Internet Explorer with 800x600 display

[–] fubarx@lemmy.world 6 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

People wanting to also center it vertically is what broke the web.

[–] xangadix@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Just add <br> untill it looks somewhat in the middle, doh

Hah. How about this: trap 1,000 regular web developers in a room. First one to use a proper semantic element instead of a div wins $1 million.

[–] 0x0@infosec.pub 31 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Good luck finding 1000 regular Web developers in this market

Or any market really, they really like their caves

[–] orca@orcas.enjoying.yachts 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I’m one of those old devs that has been writing CSS for like 18 years. It’s funny. Even with access to AI, folks still ask me CSS questions because I actually know the ins and outs of it.

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

I'd take "ask questions to that ancient dev even if it take 10 minutes of history lesson everytime" over using AI

[–] Madrigal@lemmy.world 19 points 11 hours ago

And their divs.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 26 points 11 hours ago

Forcing people to write CSS? I thought there was an international treaty against that

[–] somnuz@lemmy.zip 13 points 9 hours ago

solved it:

take a screenshot of the div in question, set it as a background for the body and make it no-repeat, center center.. don’t forget to slap some fancy 100vh for the body too..

done! It will even render exactly the same so it is cross-browser ready!

use the option cover and it will work for all screen sizes and resolutions!

add diabolical-laughter-047.mp3 as the unstoppable music loop and like seven useless frameworks for additional style points, ohh and like three font families.. just in case.. and definitely some analytics from BIG G

— profit.

I learned today that the "branding" for Claude is an anus.

[–] wewbull@feddit.uk 17 points 9 hours ago

All the AI logos are.
