it's meta and some assembly is required: the meme is the broken response so you can screenshot it and post on lemmy

    The response isn't even broken. It's not finished. It gives responses in markdown, same as Lemmy. That is the syntax for a picture embed, it's just still typing the rest and it doesn't show it until it's finished typing.

    I analyzed it in another comment: the header says the image is 300x300px 8-bit RGBA but the data is invalid. Most viewers will notice that and show an error.

    However, the syntax it used for embedding images is valid, as data:image/png;base64, is the start of a valid image URL and you can use it like other image URLs in supported Markdown interpretors.

    Example, using the 103-byte Google Maps' sea tiles, and a 178-byte GIF:

    ![Google Maps sea map tile](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAQAAAAEAAQMAAABmvDolAAAAA1BMVEW10NBjBBbqAAAAH0lEQVRoge3BAQ0AAADCoPdPbQ43oAAAAAAAAAAAvg0hAAABmmDh1QAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==)
![wink.gif](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhDwAVAKIEAAAAAP//AP//3v///wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACH/C05FVFNDQVBFMi4wAwEAAAAh+QQFlgAEACwAAAAADwAVAAADSUiq0L2QtEDpg6Bqu/LeAGN5wVRKlVmS6qe17hiDHvlyNciho5N2sxDGtoIMBgyH8Kg4IiMEZ1NKlUarSOdTe81arZHvE3olJAAAIfkEBR4ABAAsCAAEAAQABQAAAwYIGtz+ASQAOw==)

    renders as

    Google Maps sea map tile wink.gif

    Works in the default web interface
