    I am truly curious if you really did play yourself.

    Tap for spoilerI think you were trying to get a blank one as an anti-joke but this really has a digit on it, it's a 9.

    What is the Imgur bund, and why are we fucking them?

    I guess it's 'blind" not "bund". And it's a color blind vision test. But I'm still not sure I get it either.

    I mean. In what way is it supposed to be funny or ?

    Right now if you’re in the UK (or your IP says you’re in the UK) imgur won’t load due to a recent law going into effect. I’m not British so I don’t 100% know all the details but that’s all that’s important for this joke. Anyway, this shows a colour blind test but it says “fuck the imgur blind”. I’m thinking this image is being hosted on imgur so only people who aren’t British (and therefore aren’t “imgur blind”) can see it, therefore fuck the imgur blind because they can’t see it.

    At least that’s how I took it. I may be wrong.

    I'm colorblind as well so I fucked with the levels a bit in GIMP to make it visible.

    You didn't put this on imgur! Now every Brit can tell what it says >:(

    I mean, I have no idea what the intent of this is at all nor the contextual relationship between imgur saying "fuck the blind" or saying "fuck the imgur blind" and the lack of access to imgur in the UK. The connection between the two seems tenuous, so without explanation, I don't really have a valid reason to upload it to imgur anyway. Further, I hate using imgur. Catbox ftw.

    Fair enough, I thought the "Fuck the colorblind" meme/image was somewhat known and changing it to "Fuck the imgur-blind" would make sense.

    At least it will – presumably – make more sense for nearly every single British person that might see this in a couple of hours.

    Though I do agree imgur sucks. I usually use img.bb when I need external image hosting, catbox occasionally blocks the IP address(es) of my VPN.

    The fuck the colorblind meme is indeed well-known, but the phrase "fuck the imgur-blind" is complicated by the phrases "fucked blind" or "fuck me blind" and the notion that the connection between the word "imgur" and the word "blind" was not made explicit. Especially as they are on two different lines, making it almost seem more like we should "fuck imgur blind" which is how it read to me. The implied dash to connect the "imgur" to the "blind" just wasn't clear enough, but is now clear with an explanation.

    Old habits die hard. Been using Imgur for posting on reddit, and now here, for 13 years.

    When people directly upload, I'm usually screwed unless it's a simple image. Sometimes I can point to it to expand with Imagus, but it's usually WYSIWYG. Nothing I can do to get a bigger pic. Firefox/Windows PC/40" TV. Lemmy is broken is 3 dozen different ways for my browsing.
