- rubyn00bie 7mo agoHa! I normally wouldn’t find it quite so hilarious, but it’s a stylistically pixelated image. There’s just too much irony packed in there to not chuckle.
- c-hendricks 7mo agoIt's more halftone (might not be the correct term), not pixelated There might be more irony in saying it's stylized pixels without realizing that the style of the image can't be replicated with blocks of the same size but I dunno, I'm not Alanis Morissette

- allthatineed 7mo agoI got it down to 1.03MB by just switching the png to palette encoding mode.
- dawnerd 7mo agoGot the same running through tinypng.
