    Why did you regenerate an images of already existing shots from the show? Just wasting energy to make worse copies of things.

      Drawing lines is too hard. Better to just drain a 3rd world nation’s water supply to do it instead. You understand

        It’s upscaled, not generated. Relatively-speaking, upscaling is not resource-intensive at all.

          Did they upscale the juice box text to gibberish size as well?

          Edit: also Temu Seth Green’s hand. You seriously think this is legit.

            Yeah, that’s what happens when you upscale low-res text.

              Weirdly, this is recognizably Sarah Michelle Gellar, whereas the one in the OP is not to me. That could be from flipping it though, because I don’t notice any actual difference in her face

              I had to check, that frame is awful even at 1080p.

                it’s just an average 90s shot…

      Well, yes, I did run screen grabs through an upscaler to sharpen them. It seems to me like a good use of technology, and it’s not scraping people’s art work to do it, it’s just math.

        Making images worse is not a “good use of technology”.

          I don’t think you remember what the show actually looked like, if you think these are worse.

            What it looked like in SD on a CRT. 1080p on a screen made within the last couple decades looks better than this AI slop bullshit.

      The character named Spike has slicked-back hair, but a character not named Spike has spiked hair.

          The third image is other characters from the show (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), but they’re not really related to the joke so I’m not sure why they’re there, either lol

            I believe it’s meant to be a reaction image.

            It’s just Xander eyeing them suspiciously.

    William was the worst for Buffy and Oz was the worst for Willow. Now put a picture of either the mummy woman or the mantis woman in for poor Xander.

    (and don’t you dare libel Anyanka).

      Willow didn’t turn into a super villain when her relationship to Oz ended badly.

        Yes, but that’s really on Warren. Oz was just a breakup of a relationship that ended naturally. If Warren had put a silver bullet in Oz, he would have died just as badly.

A “Showerthought” is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you’re doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

  • Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
  • When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
  • More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as “capitalism” and “communism”. If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy’s Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
