People that make memes and don’t spell check is my least favorite genre
Based on the top two “photos”, they must have just got done typing “generate” a few times, so I guess I can see how the error might have occurred.
Elsewhere in the thread someone shared one of the originals where text that’s mucked up in the above meme is clear as day. The crazy artifacting must come from some bizarre compression or automated touchup by an editing software. Maybe automated upscaling?
A lot of times bad spelling and grammar are both engagement bait ploys. People can’t resist clicking to make comments about it.
How do you feel about punctuation?
I can take it or leave it
Fair, enough
I think they spelled “genera” correctly, but there’s no reason to use the plural here
I thought they meant to use “genre,” which makes more sense because who calls a type of meme a “genus?”
I dunno, Richard Dawkins?
Be the change you want to see in the world
Details.
Maybe they have gonorrhea?
That is not limited to Home Depot. I once saw two ladies trying to fit three trollys full with an IKEA bedroom (bed, frame, mattresses, and a stack of PAX wardrobes, plus a heap of smaller items) into a compact car. A very compact car…
I didn’t see anyone link to the original!
The sleeping face tied up in twine is iconic
I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn’t rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.
People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.
So embarrassing.
The genus of these pictures is Artificilias. The species is intelligentia.
I don’t actually think a single of these photos are AI generated which is insane.
I was in college and needed to fix my apartment. I didn’t own a car and took the bus to Lowe’s. I called my buddy who had a car.
I’m in this picture.
I’m glad you made it ok! This one looks really dangerous for the people.
I personally don’t know if they are real or not (they certainly don’t seem like it SHOULD be real). But maybe the text artifacts on the license plates and signs in the original post are just sponge tooled/liquefied to censor out businesses or a random person’s car identifier.
I’m leaning towards real, there’s signs in the background that have coherent text on them, instead of weird, unintelligible, almost-letters.
I’m leaning real too, the one where the guy destroyed his truck bed by ratchet strapping whatever that is to his wheel well is literally in the HD parking lot and that’s exactly what would happen if someone was stupid enough to try it. But the first one with the “Mazda” logo in the background, that one looks fake as hell, so I’m torn lol.
I really hope AI continues to have noticable failures. I have my doubts, but one can hope.
And this one makes absolutely no sense because a single search gives you hundreds of these pictures. It took more effort to generate these than to find them.
In genera, i think this is a pretty good comment.
Same with IKEA, even though you can look up the exact box sizes online there are still people trying to fit sofas into a Fiat 500.
Dude I still try to fit everything into an overcrowded bus and carry it home from the bus station
trying to fit a sofa into fiat 500
Sex tape?
What, like the back of a Volkswagen?
Unless your kink is failure and incompetence I would not recommend
They have a home delivery service tho.
People spend thousands of dollar for their furniture, but dont want to pay the extra 75$ it takes to have strong people come and bring their furniture home.
Delivery starts at $19 at my local IKEA, as long as you’re within a certain radius from the store.
Cudos to the “My good gas mileage car can do this” crowd, though.
My VW Passat hybrid has carried more material on the roof rack than I’d be happy to admit.
The accord driver 100% planned that out. Now if it was a good plan is up for debate.
My wife’s mum was helping me move everything from a two-bedroom unit, in a Toyota Yaris hatchback. Completely filled the car with stuff. It took maybe six or seven trips back and forth, but we got it done eventually.
This was before I had a drivers license or much money, so I couldn’t just rent a truck, nor could I afford to pay a mover.
Bunnings shopper: “Finally! A worthy opponent! OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!”
i have sn 8ft long trailer with a 4 ft long tailgate that csn extend the 8ft to 12ft yet i still had some 12ft long corrugate roof panels delivered by the store as they have s forklift to unload with
Omg this was me when my dad and brother told me they’d strapped down studs in the back of my dad’s escort wagon. After taking the first turn I discovered that was a lie
At least Menards offers a truck you can rent temporarily to transport your large items home.
Home Depot has trucks that can be rented for a similar price, lol.
The guy with a truck had a concept of a plan
You all laugh, but one time I was young, dumb, and just did what people told me to do.
In this regard, I found myself pulling a grain auger on a much-too-small flat deck trailer. The trailer was maybe 10ft long by 6 ft wide, so we put one wheel of the grain auger on the deck, and one on the external tail light of the trailer which was relatively sturdy. ‘are you sure this is a good idea?’ ‘fuck it, she’ll go. Just go slow’
So I start driving. No immediate problems. Turns out that going down a major, winding hill at the 100 km posted speed limit is not a good idea with an awkward load. It’s also a pretty interesting time to figure out that if you brake, you make the trailer sway worse. Hmm so speed up it is! Started at the top of the hill at about 90 km/hr and came out for it at about 120 km/hr. Lol.
And that’s just one of the times I shoulda died! Whee.
This is also why I mentor the fuck out of any junior I work with. too many stories like this.
I’ve also got a story of other people saying “it’ll be fine” while I should have been thinking for myself.
I used to be a garbage truck driver. I was sent to pick up a bin at some fishing club. It was at the end of a dead end road. I drove my truck to the end hoping there would be enough room to turn the truck around. Of course there wasn’t. That’s when I should’ve just decided to back out, but I didn’t. I asked the members of that club if the garbage truck usually turns around or backs out. They said “sure you can turn it on the grass, they do that all the time”.
So I started turning, one small moment later, I was stuck in the grass. My back wheels just kept slipping and digging in deeper. I putting gravel and wooden boards under the wheels, but nothing really worked. In the end we got like 6 of the fingers to push the truck (10.000+kg) out of the grass… and they fucking did it! It took a little back and forth, but we managed to get the truck out with teamwork.
It was a pretty stupid decision of mine, but I learned from it. It was 10 years ago, but I still remember it well,because it was just and awesome experience of teamwork and humanity.
6 of the fingers
I don’t get that term in this context. What’s a “finger” here?
Fish finger?
autocorrect of fisher I assume.
Yes, I have a new phone and the autocorrect is the worst. I’m trying my best to tame it, but it just sucks
I keep looking at it wondering … Why? The others are common. The truck, however took a little special reasoning.

The truck one is one of the only ones that I know is real cause I have seen that photo before.
Don’t know what level of compression they went through to make the photo look like that but it didn’t always.

Underestimating the bed rail loading. I’d love to make a Ford joke, but let’s be real, all truck beds would crumple like that.
Once again the minivan heavy portfolio pays.
*The damage to the drywall was like that from the store it was 75% off and being used to make some patches and fill a small renovation.
Have a camper minivan, and have on a number of occasions pulled the cushions out to haul.
Not only did I haul drywall home in a minivan, I even had the foresight to buy a couple of 2x4s to act as rails to slide it on so the edges wouldn’t get chewed up by the rounded rear hatch opening.
