Community Rules

  1. Must be a wholesome meme All posts must be wholesome memes: uplifting, life-affirming, or nice-ing up a rude meme. Photos or screenshots without superimposed text, as well as social media posts, are not memes.

  2. Be general, not specific Memes should be relatable, with universally uplifting themes. Avoid posts that promote an ideology, religion, or brand over others, & posts that show individuals' politeness without some universal theme. Memes about controversial themes, people, and/or institutions are not allowed either.

  3. No NSFW content Please avoid submitting NSFW content. PG-13 is fine, but please tag those "NSFW" for young or sensitive users.

  4. No trolling, harassing, or general rudeness Please no trolling, harassment, rudeness, or behaviour unbecoming of the wholesome users we know you to be. Keep comments civil and be respectful of your fellow users. Be nice. This is a happy place. No proselytizing. Keep your religion, your politics, your diet, and any other crusade you might carry to yourself. We come here to get away from arguing and politics and the like, so please respect that by keeping your agendas to yourself.

  5. No personal info or private communication Please do not post personal info, yours or others. All names should be blocked out, except public figures. Also, private communication & private posts are private; please don't post them here.

  6. Post must link to image directly. Please link to images directly. This makes browsing easier for those using RES or through a mobile device

  7. Low Effort Meme Please do not submit low effort memes or mention upvotes in your post.

This includes "Let's get this to the front page!" type posts, "You have been visited by", "people who sort by new", "stop scrolling", Low effort memes include: Skyrim "Wholesome 100", "You're Breathtaking", Thanos "That does put a smile on my face", [happiness noises], Fallout [Everybody liked that], and "Because that's what heroes do". This isn't an exhaustive list, but I think you get the idea!

  1. No reposts Avoid posting memes that have already been posted to this sub. Fresh content is vital. We may allow a repost at our discretion, if it has not already been a frontpage post, and if it has been over 6 months since it was last posted here. Do not spam or post more than 3 memes in a 24 hour period.

  2. Please make an effort with your title Set your post up for success. "Does this fit here?" helps nobody. Being funny or descriptive helps. And trying is good.

Would be a good plot for a video game. Be a bird collecting items, soaring over trees, forests, cities, homes.

There’s a brief section in a game called What Remains of Edith Finch where you’re an owl and it was pretty cool. I could see myself putting some hours into a bird sim… Sounds like it’d be a fun way to zone out and unwind after work.

This might not be exactly what you're looking for, but ages ago I got a little game called "Superflight". I've rediscovered and played it a ton during the pandemic when my uni switched to homeschooling and my profs were figuring out how to hold lectures online lol

There is an NPC like this for a short time in Baldur’s Gate 3…if you are able to talk to animals, he has a Scottish accent and it’s adorable :)

A crow legit swooped down and snatched my friends, phone once. He had to chase it from tree to tree for an hour before it finally dropped it.

Interesting, I can't find ANY reference of the image in any of the reverse image searches:

Is this actually a unique post, made for lemmy?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The text is (obviously) not.
I could see it being original in the sense of mixing the image and the text. But I cannot find the image by itself either.

If OP's history showed original art, I could believe it being an original drawing for this post. But I don't think that's the case.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Nope, I found it on Facebook, and it didn't appear to be original to that page either.
