    I like the sayings. What I utterly disrespect are the AI graphics.

    No shade to you, pug, you post a lot, but does anyone feel like these are just the start of an idea? Not witty enough, just the worst ones out of the bunch if you were riffing with friends. Just barely being “ye olde” not reading clearly as any specific epoque. Plus the card itself is genAI. Eh.

      Eh, not everything I post is a banger. I try to keep up one non-crosspost a day, if I find it vaguely amusing.

      I didn’t notice it was GenAI when I saw it, since I didn’t look at the images closely. That’s on me. I’m not removing it since it’s already got traction, but generally I try to identify and avoid posting GenAI.

    Half the community is called out by “I’d rather spend the evening listening to a gentleman explain railroads” XD

      Um, AKTUALLY, MY special fixation is Unique and Interesting unlike everyone else’s, and that’s why everyone wants to hear about the ambiguous nature of minor deities in Roman household rituals 😤

        Lay it on me, magister, and I’ll commit working time fraud to listen.

    “I would prefer to be chased by an angry goose”. Obviously a Canadian.

    “I would rather spend an evening listening to a gentleman explain railroads”. Actually that sounds neat.

    Kindly place that idea back where you found it.

    I ABSOLUTELY love this one. Definitely stealing it.

    This one is technically modern, as I saw it used by some guy relatively recently (couple of decades back), but going by technology development it could theoretically apply to Victorian times, if not for the crudeness;
    ‘I’d rather have my dick slammed in the car door.’

      I would find immeasurably greater pleasure in the use of my member to arrest the rapid closure of the door of a driverless carriage.

      …if we’re going with loquaciousness as the defining characteristic of Victorian english.

    Low key, that sounds like a jovial time.

    I would actually like to spend an evening with a gentleman that explains railroads.

    Column 1, row 6 is basically how claude and all AI models trained on it talk like all the time and consider the height of comedy

    What’s Victorian for “third row, first column has six fingers while fifth row, second column has a melted hand”?

      I only read the words but looking at the pics they all seem to have something vaguely wrong

      Yes, and the lady also has a bit of an odd shirt. It’s probably VictorAIn humour.
