A comic in four panels:
Panel 1: The gothic sorceress, dressed in dark, flowing robes, stands in the middle of a desolated land. She gazes at the colorful mechanical parrot flying near her shoulder: the Avian Intelligent Parrot. The sorceress asks with a hint of curiosity.
Gothic sorceress: “Hey, Avian Intelligence, what’s the incantation for summoning a fireball?”
AI Parrot: “:sparkle emoji: The correct incantation for a fireball is “IgnisMe”.”
Panel 2: The gothic sorceress cracks a wicked smile, her eyes shining with anticipation as she raises her hands in front of her, fingers spread and ready to cast.
Gothic sorceress: “Alright, let’s give it a shot… IgnisMe!”
Panel(small insert in previous panel): Only the eyes of the gothic sorceress are visible in a large flame.
Gothic sorceress: “?!!”
Panel 3: The gothic sorceress is burnt, her face contorted in a mix of shock, anger, and pain. Flames and smoke dance around her, her dark robes burnt and tattered, revealing exposed parts of her anatomy.
Gothic sorceress: “You #*$%@& bird! You gave me a self-immolation spell instead of a fireball spell!”
Panel 4: As the sorceress facepalms, the Avian Intelligent parrot replies with stoicism.
AI Parrot: “:sparkle emoji: You’re absolutely right! The correct incantation for a fireball is “PyroBolus”.”
Gave it plenty of time to load on my gigabit internet.
That’s weird. I tried https://old.lemmy.today/post/42532735
And even inspecting the page source (on Firefox), all I get is an embed of the ibb.co image.
You got served a lemmy.today cache image though… Are you on mobile, by chance? Or using any non default configs/extensions?
Which client?
Just using firefox and old.lemmy
Odd, does not do that for me.
But it could be an extension or flag requesting a bandwidth optimized image.
This one is fine for me, but I’ve had others with the same issue. I assumed it was a quirk in the app I use (Boost).
Click image, Top right click HD. Boost tries to save bandwidth on some images but I haven’t noticed a real trend behind what images it chooses to downscale or not.
Thanks, I’ll try that next time I see one.
Yhea my boost sometimes also seem to make things blurry. Dowloading it does show it is a clear one. But I didn’t had problems with this one
