💡 Trent'anni fa trasformava le chat IRC in fumetti animati. Era strano, era bello.

@cmconseils Tough question: Which is worse, AI ‘art’ or ‘typography’ in Comic Sans? 🤪

🎉 Behold! An #academic magnum opus in the form of a #zine, because why publish a paper when you can unleash the power of Comic Sans to explain causally ordered message delivery? 😂 This niche newsletter of nerdy enlightenment promises to #revolutionize the way a dozen people comprehend message queues, one doodle at a time. 📚✨

Just realized the capital "I" has serifs. I always thought those lines were just part of the letter and people liked dropping them.

Apparently I grew up on the Comic Sans alphabet.

Rifling through old storage boxes. Found this artifact from the 1970s. This little enterprise with a mate, which we advertised around the uni campus, helped fund our hedonistic lifestyle haha

I suggest EU regulators should be fine with #Microslop as long, as all AI generated content in all documents is obligatory watermarked by using #ComicSans font...

I hiked a mountain today where all the signs were set in Comic Sans 😱

Anyone yet photoshopped the defacing of Kennedy Center to change the new (vandalism) part to be in Comic Sans? And tacky gold spraypaint, of course.

It's 2022, and we still think funky fonts can magically cure #dyslexia, like putting 🧙‍♂️ pixie dust on a problem to make it vanish. 🎩✨ Apparently, decades of scientific research can't compete with the allure of Comic Sans for curing reading issues. 😂 Who knew the font aisle was the real hero in education? 📚🎉

OMG! Jetzt ist es passiert, ich bin in einer Sache der gleichen Meinung wie Marco Rubio. Für längere Texte finde ich persönlich die "Times New Roman" schöner und lesbarer, als die "Calibri". Von #Trump hätte ich allerdings ein Plädoyer für die "Imperial" erwartet, mit Initialen in #Gold. Und von #Musk war sicher eine Fraktur gewünscht.
Ein Font für die ganze Mischpoke? Dann die "ComicSans".

Microsoft Bob 🙂 was Microsoft’s ambitious 1995 attempt to simplify computing with a virtual house interface, but its cutesy design and poor performance led to its swift downfall. Despite its failure, Bob’s influence lingered in Clippy, Comic Sans, and even anti-piracy tactics, cementing its place in tech history.

🎮 Oh no, Japanese game devs are sweating bullets over a font price hike from $380 to $20k! 😱 Apparently, the apocalypse will now be written in Comic Sans because someone forgot to budget for typography. 📉 #FirstWorldProblems

🎉 Wow! A 90s throwback to when web design was just a parade of spinning GIFs and Comic Sans! Now you too can recreate the nostalgia of #Geocities with a daunting 5MB file size limit—perfect for your low-res cat pics. 🚀 And remember folks, nothing screams modern tech like an "Under Construction" banner. 😂

🎃👻 Ah, the #Halloween edition of "Let's #Ruin the Internet"—because who doesn't love setting their favorite sites on fire with comic sans and runaway buttons? 😱💻 Nothing screams "productive" like tormenting yourself with a pesky fly and surprise #popups while wondering why you even opened the browser in the first place. 🕷️🔥

👩‍💻🖨️ Behold, the miracle of modern tech: a Comic Sans typeball for a #typewriter that no one under 40 remembers! 🚫🔒 Meanwhile, Cloudflare's gatekeeping has reached new heights of #irony, blocking access to a site about... printable typeballs. 🤦‍♂️
