People that make memes and don’t spell check is my least favorite genre
Based on the top two “photos”, they must have just got done typing “generate” a few times, so I guess I can see how the error might have occurred.
Elsewhere in the thread someone shared one of the originals where text that’s mucked up in the above meme is clear as day. The crazy artifacting must come from some bizarre compression or automated touchup by an editing software. Maybe automated upscaling?
A lot of times bad spelling and grammar are both engagement bait ploys. People can’t resist clicking to make comments about it.
How do you feel about punctuation?
I can take it or leave it
Fair, enough
I think they spelled “genera” correctly, but there’s no reason to use the plural here
I thought they meant to use “genre,” which makes more sense because who calls a type of meme a “genus?”
I dunno, Richard Dawkins?
Be the change you want to see in the world
Details.
Maybe they have gonorrhea?
I worked at home depot, and our manager made people sign a form before having a Hi-Lo load a pallet of floor tile into their truck because it would cause their suspension to bottom out. They’d do it, and drive off with zero leeway on their shocks.
We had one guy come in bragging about how his super-expensive hydraulic suspension could handle it. We loaded 2 pallets of tile into his truck bed. I bet he felt every little crack in the road driving to the job site.
You do feel every little bump and odds are your suspension will never be the same afterwords. But that’s why you do it with beater trucks and not anything you actually care about. My dad did the same thing except with landscaping blocks in an old salt truck he picked up for like $200. You can’t break a suspension that’s already broke.
Or that’s the theory anyways. In reality he wound up blowing the same rear tire 3 times on the trip home. Four times if you count the tire blowing again after the truck was parked. We kept having to pull over, dismount the tire, take it home, mount another used tire on the rim, take it back to the truck, and put it back on, and go until it blew again. Every time we had to do that I reminded him that I had told him before hand that he should bring the trailer.
Genera?
Genre.
it’s very much ai,
generation?Have, you lost Ted?
Pretty sure that’s Italian for genre. Or a weird typo/autocorrect error/both 😁
It’s actually English for “I’m so sneaky I found a way to bait people into commenting on my post”.
nope. it’s the plural.
The plural of genre is genres. The singular of genera is genus… Which might make sense here, but not as a plural.
Nope. Its genera in this context because they are discussing it as species.
They are pluralizing genus. Its a reference to it being a new “species” of image.
Your assumption of the word they are pluralizing was wrong.
Still wrong because they are refering to an individual “species” of image, so it would be genus not genera.
`Plural of genre. Still should have been singular “genre” though, unless there are multiple genera of these images.I was thinking of “genus”.
I think the word genre comes directly from the french word (“genre”, meaning “type”), which in the plural form is “genres”. I don’t think “genera” means anything, it’s probably a typo
“Genera” is a plural form of “genus” (i.e. also “type,” but in the fancy scientific sense used in taxonomy).
Derp, that’s what I was thinking of.
They apparently couldn’t be bothered to to type out
Generated?
Yeah…no it isn’t.
Imagine buying truck just for this moment and then screwed up the loading part.
Best part is, there’s a hitch on the back, so buddy has used it with a trailer, just not this time when it would have been the ideal solution
Go to the Netherlands and see the same thing, but with bikes. I once brought back a 1,5 meter long wooden pannel under my arm. I didn’t anticipate the wind, which started to push me out of the road.
That is not limited to Home Depot. I once saw two ladies trying to fit three trollys full with an IKEA bedroom (bed, frame, mattresses, and a stack of PAX wardrobes, plus a heap of smaller items) into a compact car. A very compact car…
I bought a locker a while back, like the kind you would find in the employee room of a closing bed bath and beyond. It didn’t quite fit as expected so we ended up just tying the back hatch as closed as it could with a single rope and took back roads the whole way home. I don’t think we went above 20mph for fear of the damage this giant steel box would cause if it fell out. Also got a tetanus shot the next day because I managed to rip my hand on its rusted foot. Good times, I love that locker
I didn’t see anyone link to the original!
The sleeping face tied up in twine is iconic
I bought a table saw during COVID. They only allowed pickup in the parking lot. You couldn’t rent vehicles because we were on lockdown. I had no choice but to pick it up with my Jetta.
People were laughing their asses off at me unpacking it and barely fitting it in the trunk. Styrofoam was going everywhere as I broke it. Had to throw all the packing material into a dumpster.
So embarrassing.
It’s great having a work van.
Your not putting a stack of sheet in the back of a van.
Yea you are? Sprinters or Crafters easily fit a stack of sheets, at least in the EU they do
I’m honestly baffled as to where they got that idea, most commercial vans are built around standard pallets and wallboard sheets. Mercedes Sprinter and Vito will, the Transit including the Transit Custom will, the Toyota Hiace will, it’s pretty much a standard feature.
Not with that attitude.
As in plasterboard sheets? I don’t see why not if hand loading, plenty of vans will fit a 2400x1200 sheet (my Transporter fitted a bunch of plywood with room to spare). Loading one with a forklift is harder due to no side access long enough to fit 2400mm but that’s a problem shared with tub back utes. If however your plasterboard pallet is side accessible a van with barn doors (like you’d buy if pallets were a priority) will allow you load it in fine.
What van are you thinking? Work vans do this all the time.
Most commercial vans are slightly over 2.4m long in the cargo area, which is the size of a standard sheet of wallboard. (1.2x2.4m).
Mine will fit that comfortably.
My pickup can fit that with a forklift in seconds without hand loading… Can your van…?
We have seen it on the picture above.
That’s an example of an idiot. And not how you load that.
That’s an example of an idiot.
Precisely, sweetheart.
cupcake if you think that’s how I’m loading that into my truck you’re the idiot
Did you know there’s actually space between the wheel tubs in the bed of that truck to set those boards down flat. And if your object is still a little wider than that you stack a couple of pallets underneath it to build up to level with the wheel tubs and then load it on top of those still within the bed rails and sides and wouldn’t necessitate having to try and do a side load like this. where your loading over the side you use a sling and don’t just use boards like a fucking idiot.
Can your pick me up fit into a standard car park in the middle of a city?
And a van with split doors is definitely capable of doing that.
Actually yes my ranger fits just fine in some of the tightest of places. Never had a problem fitting into compact car spots with no over hang. With a full size 8 foot bed no less.
The genus of these pictures is Artificilias. The species is intelligentia.
I don’t actually think a single of these photos are AI generated which is insane.
I was in college and needed to fix my apartment. I didn’t own a car and took the bus to Lowe’s. I called my buddy who had a car.
I’m in this picture.
I’m glad you made it ok! This one looks really dangerous for the people.
I personally don’t know if they are real or not (they certainly don’t seem like it SHOULD be real). But maybe the text artifacts on the license plates and signs in the original post are just sponge tooled/liquefied to censor out businesses or a random person’s car identifier.
I’m leaning towards real, there’s signs in the background that have coherent text on them, instead of weird, unintelligible, almost-letters.
I’m leaning real too, the one where the guy destroyed his truck bed by ratchet strapping whatever that is to his wheel well is literally in the HD parking lot and that’s exactly what would happen if someone was stupid enough to try it. But the first one with the “Mazda” logo in the background, that one looks fake as hell, so I’m torn lol.
I really hope AI continues to have noticable failures. I have my doubts, but one can hope.
And this one makes absolutely no sense because a single search gives you hundreds of these pictures. It took more effort to generate these than to find them.
In genera, i think this is a pretty good comment.
Same with IKEA, even though you can look up the exact box sizes online there are still people trying to fit sofas into a Fiat 500.
Dude I still try to fit everything into an overcrowded bus and carry it home from the bus station
trying to fit a sofa into fiat 500
Sex tape?
What, like the back of a Volkswagen?
Unless your kink is failure and incompetence I would not recommend
They have a home delivery service tho.
People spend thousands of dollar for their furniture, but dont want to pay the extra 75$ it takes to have strong people come and bring their furniture home.
Delivery starts at $19 at my local IKEA, as long as you’re within a certain radius from the store.
“I NEED TO DRIVE EVERYWHERE BECAUSE I CAN’T TAKE A LOAD OF TWO BY FOURS ON A BIKE!!!”
*buys car*
*does shit like this*
It’s the pickup, a car designed to carry shit, that is struggling to carry shit that does it for me. Do American DIY shops not do Home Delivery?
They do, it’s not cheap, like $50
If you’re buying $1000 worth of lumber $50 to ensure it gets home undamaged (and without damaging your car) is cheap. I’m pretty sure you can also elect to cut the boards in half to better fit them in a smaller vehicle.
50 bucks is cheap compared to destroying the bed of your truck, and spending thousands on material
You know this picture is fake right?

That one’s real tho - higher res image here. Truck beds are mega flimsy up top aside from the stake pockets

I can’t vouch for the others but I just remember seeing that truck pic make its rounds on reddit. Hard to tell what’s real and not with the compression in this pic tho and with all the AI stuff floating around, never hurts to be skeptical!
Yeah, 3 out of 4 AI generated fodder and the 4th is using some weird downscale that manages to also give off AI vibes… I can understand the impression myself…
Nope the others aren’t AI generated either. Same weird filter on all of them to make it feel that way. Seriously don’t know why or how they did it.
Maybe they used an AI service to upscale the otherwise small res picture instead of looking for the original ones.
Absurd fake crunch? Dude the bed is meant to support the weight you aren’t supposed to put a pallet on the bare aluminum frame like that. It’s exactly how it crunches when people put heavy things across the top of their bed like that.
Trucks aren’t magical. They still have limits.I think it was more how weird the downscale looked for that one, along with being posted next to AI generated ones.
I still wonder if it was purposefully done to make them look AI generated cause I have compressed photos to 144p and they don’t look that warped and fluid. Like they fed it backwards through an AI generator.
P.S. pretty sure they are all real. Seen these photos on reddit years ago.

I have no idea how they managed to make the photo look AI generated with compression and it now has me thinking it’s literally gonna be a style to make real photos look like that, like someone predicted at the start of the AI generated movement.
Cudos to the “My good gas mileage car can do this” crowd, though.
My VW Passat hybrid has carried more material on the roof rack than I’d be happy to admit.
The accord driver 100% planned that out. Now if it was a good plan is up for debate.
