I wanted a 2000s/ASCII-era vibe sign to put up when I have extra bread to give away, and my wife came through in spades

I like it a lot, gonna tile it onto four pages and call it a day

Edit: I completed it with a small handwritten note at the bottom:

I have waited ten years for this moment a single drop of tear

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

How have I never seen that!?

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 19 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Awesome!

What does that mean?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Ha ha, nothing but basking in the fact that you've been chosen.

[–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I'm downloading this so I too can add people to the Best of Lemmy

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 5 days ago

Please do. I think people want to see what others think are the best of lemmy.

[–] Corngood@lemmy.ml 6 points 5 days ago

It means that if you're ever in a civil court trial against someone who hasn't been added to the Best of Lemmy, you win by default.

Only thing I can think to make it better would be a paper clip with googly eyes.

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago (3 children)

I'm gonna print clippy off and put him on there, that's such a good idea

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

It looks like you're trying to make an 00s throwback joke. Can I help you with that?

=P

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

¯_(ツ)_/¯ maybe

Oof, I actually made some Clippy fanart not too long ago! And I also made a cooler, more suave version, portraying what Clippy would have looked like, if he had been a free and open source paperclip instead. I'll see if I can find it when I get home!

graphic design is clearly her passion

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 16 points 5 days ago

Quality meme skills. I'd say marry her, but you already did.

[–] Coupable@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago

It's like a visual representation of the average persons William Shatner impression

[–] diaphragmwp@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

"2000s" != "ASCII-era". But cool regardless.

Your wife seems like she's a badass

[–] Ziggurat@jlai.lu 9 points 5 days ago

Love the creativity,

Miss the word-art era

[–] Major_Tsiom@fedia.io 10 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You took too much, man. Too much, too much.

[–] mirshafie@europe.pub 7 points 5 days ago (1 children)

She did a really good job with with the shadow, it really invokes the echo from the original.

Word Art is back!

Microsoft Word '97, huh? I liked that one. You knew where you stood with Microsoft Word '97.

[–] solitaire404@lemmy.zip 3 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Does your wife take requests?

A loaf of sourdough with cheddar and jalapeno please.

I already have a bake at work, but I will gladly be fat for bread. If bread was good enough for our ancestors, its good enough for me damnt!

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Excuse me, I am the baker.

She is the finishing graphic designer

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (2 children)

But who is the candlestick maker?

The evil truth of sourdough is that it takes about the same amount of time and effort to make four loaves as it does to make one.

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

Exactly, the only limiting factors are the size of my oven, refrigerator, and how often my wife will tolerate the house being hot as balls

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You can come bake at my house if you need more kitchen space.

[–] sneekee_snek_17@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

I'm coming, friend_of_satan

[–] username_1@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 5 days ago

How much has Microsoft paid you for this thread? :)

The "I only put out bread the day it's baked" is Comic Sans, isn't it?

[–] Axolotl_cpp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

This would make me want to come more often tbh
