The subreddit where the DALL-E Mini era's worst ideas were filed: prompts chosen for the collision of two things that should never share a frame, posted as nine-grids and later as single Midjourney frames. Its house style was the absurd prompt in the title and the image doing exactly what was asked. The record's entry for cursed image generation as a hobby.
The record notes that the subreddit's rule was implicit: the prompt had to be funny before the image existed. The image was proof, not the joke.
The community predates the grid meme by a few months. Early posts used VQGAN and CLIP notebooks, which were harder to run and produced something closer to a fever than a picture.
Still posting in 2025, though the images are now too clean to be weird in the old way. The threads that get attention are the ones that go back to the melted 2022 look on purpose.
It is dead. Say something true about it.
