I used to practice this art actively.

This is older than dust
Its so old it was made with Paint Shop Pro
This comment hurt me on a deep level.
PSP was the shit.
Edit: and vivid scenes of using it and CorelDraw just popped into my head. Damn it.
It was a toss up between Corel and PSP, but i went with the shareware.
Or PC paint
It’s so old this photo fucked everyone’s mom and the photo is actually just your dad.
How do you like them apples.
This is older than the average lemming for fucks sake, I saw this meme in the early days of Facebook and it was old back then
Even that has some visible jpeg
Wow, he spent some time on that!
but now it’s federated :)
This is older than Internet Explorer
Unfortunately he saved it as a JPEG 87 times in a row.
People should just use png or webp.

What a blast from the past, thanks for posting
That’s pretty good for a week of practice. Almost too good.
Aside from the giant one. If you kept the camera on a tripod it’s just a case of taking pictures in all the different places. Then in photoshop nothing more complex than loading each image as it’s own layer and then masking them to keep yourself but not too much off the background. The background would be the bottom layer with nothing in shot.
All the pictures can be taken in a single afternoon. Overlaying all the pictures and then removing the appropriate parts with an erasor tool takes less than an hour. The most challenging part is the big giant one I the background, as that requires time to make a neat cut-out with a selection tool.
Overall, this would still take… Less than a day to do, if you got a decent tripod.
I think you’re vastly under-estimating the difficulty of doing something like this by someone who literally had not heard of photoshop a week prior. Especially when we’re speaking of someone whose being refered as “uncle”
Does anyone else use Memmy?
I ask because the links to new communities never work for me. Curious if it’s the same for others.
I don’t know how it is with Memmy, but in-browser I always need to open a new community twice. The first time it gives an error but it starts fetching, the second time it works.
I use boost and both links work for me
Memmy development seems essentially dead, I would move on.
I use Voyager now.
Damn, really? I’m a fan of the ui. Is voyager an app now? Not into web based platforms.
Yep you can download a native app that has a bit more features than the web app.
Sweet I’ll give it a shot, thanks.
He is telling you to run away - do it, do it now! :-P
90s Uncle Goliath? 🤣
Random thought but why do the provided links never work in Memmy? They don’t redirect.
If it’s all of these links and just on Memmy, it’s probably an issue with the app. I use Voyager and they work fine. You could ask about that at !memmy@lemmy.ml or file an issue at their GitHub if someone hasn’t already.
Memmy development is basically dead. Try something else.
