A friendly place to chat.
No politics please. Don't be a dick.
Never forget that the classic video game Lemmings is itself a British creation.
This would be my pitch:
Alternate version and transparent PNG
Still an official™️ Lemmings skin tone, but one from a later game I guess, in the interest of inclusivity:
Transparent PNG in case anyone wants to remix it:
Easy, relevant banner idea
Use a screenshot like this one, but decide what they're queueing for. Greggs? Woolies? Half-price biscuits? The possibilities are endless.
Gotta be between this and top hat lemming. Does Lemmy do polls, yet? 🤔
Ooh, I love it! I'm inclined to go with the banner already. Any objections?
Make it so (please)
I propose this cute rubber ducky! All hail the duckies!
How about this most British of pictures? Angry person, reactolite glasses, a sausage ready for the back garden barbecue and even a sneaky garden fence. If there was a wheelie bin in there it would cover 90% of normal chat :-)
(Edit: and please for the love of all that is holy do not use a top-hat or a monocle. Those are lazy parodies of Britishness used mainly by Americans whose idea of the UK comes from The Crown and Downton Abbey. There's only one person who I can even imagine wearing either item regularly and I would probably get banned for saying what I think of him.)
I now think a duck would be the funniest. Obviously, the ultimate "middle-finger" to the old regime.
A buttery crumpet?
Greggs pasty, or a nice cuppa (pending inevitable bickering over exactly what shade of tea)
Edit: Differentiate ourselves from the other place with an icon of a duck
Just for fun I asked gpt-4 what the most British thing is, I then asked it to make a prompt for midjourney. Here is the result. (Don't question the alien hand)
Ugh the hands. Always the hands.
Lemming wearing a top hat and monicle. Drinking a cuppa
Something like this?
This is brilliant! How'd you come up with it so quickly?
AI, innit.
Bruv I tried AI and got this, not quite the same lol
This was my go, love how we're all getting totally different styles!
This one is great! I love how gentlemanly he is
