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:

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!

    That just revived some arcane knowledge I had forgotten.

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

    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!

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

    To be fair, I included that in my guidance to influence the overall vibe, not be chronologically precise

    Also, I've always known stuff like this ¯_(ツ)_/¯ as ASCII characters and the more complicated pictures as ASCII art. So they were two separate, but related topics that I hoped she would synthesize

    And boy did she

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯*

    Also, this specific example isn't ASCII art, it's some other encoding which I forgot the name of, Japanese characters, variable width (in bytes). Common for it to be drawn using Arial or a metric compatible font rather than any monospace.

    Note that "ASCII" art also refers to 8-bit extensions of the encoding, where "oldskool ASCII art" means strictly the actual 7-bit set. Not to be confused with ANSI art, which is the same as ASCII but with ANSI control characters, like for changing color.

    "text art" is what I usually call everything combined, including art on the Commodore systems, only very recently made possible with Unicode officially. Anyways, I don't really see any of it on the image...

    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.

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

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

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