You should run this through a JPEG compression algorithm a few more times. I can still read the text.
Much better




Oooh, I want to know your process
Imagetoolbox has an image quality slider which I set to the lowest. I spammed some noisy filters before that and saved to jpeg2000 -> mozjpeg -> jpeg ->jpg. The process was mostly vibes based. They recently added an image to ascii art feature but I don’t know how to post it here without it becoming a jumbled mess


Have you tried editing pictures in audacity? https://forrestburt.com/a-guide-to-databending-images-with-audacity/
Okay, this fucking rules.
Can I cross post this to fediverse meme comms with my .ml account? The cross-post will link back here automatically in the post body.
Sure go for it
Thanks! I was wrong, no link added to the post body because the original post had no body. Also, I wrote the following alt text for the image, you can add it to your post if you want (in the “alt text” field when you edit the post). It’s for screen readers and other accessibility tools.
An image with an anime-style fem-presenting profile captioned “your son” and a soldier profile captioned “my son” followed by an image with a happy looking fem-presenting anime character captioned “my son” next to a coffin draped in an American flag captioned “your son”.
