that's cos this exciting new usage is an 'image macro'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_macro
― c sharp major, Thursday, 6 December 2012 16:25 (eleven years ago) link
One of the more famous image macros is "O RLY?" O RLY is often used on the internet as an abbreviation for the phrase "Oh, really?" Originally started with a snowy owl photograph (which is the classic O RLY image macro),[4] it spread out over the Web quickly and was followed by other macros that convey a wide range of emotions. Another style of image macro that has amassed its own separate subculture is the "lolcat", an image combining a photograph of a cat with text intended to contribute humour. The text is often idiosyncratic and grammatically incorrect, and its use in this way is known as "lolspeak" or "kitty pidgin".
When our civilization is excavated by archaeologists in the distant future, they are going to be so confused.

most of these don't really fit within that definition though. they're more like, I dunno, greetings cards. homespun "wisdom"/"philosophy".

Unless someone decides to start carving these macros into stone they will disappear into nothing like every other ephemeral bit of data currently flying through the air.

before learning about how these macros are automated, I actually imagined that the images were sculpted bit by bit out of a raw block of fresh pixels.

I keep trying different keyboard shortcuts, but none of them put treacly gibberish into stock photos.
