The difference is clear. Left I took a new screenshot and pasted it over the exact same image.

Closer look:

Here you can see what is causing the blur:

And without the compression artifacts:

However, you’ve just provided even more evidence to the root of the issue. People are ignorant to what decent quality looks like. The image would be even better if it had a higher resolution than 480x480.

Here’s a new version at 708x708 as an example

With my glasses on, which I kinda need to be a functional human being, there’s little difference.

It seems you’ve stumbled on the root of the issue. I guess some people just can’t see the blur. I don’t have a particularly special phone and I’ve unfortunately been without my glasses all day. It’s likely due more to experience and ‘training’, but it’s easily apparent that my half-assed screenshot is significantly clearer. Less contrast, sure, but that doesn’t magically remove the blur. Most likely the biggest factor is that many people just don’t care, which I find beyond frustrating.

I added more blur to make fun of the ‘original’ post. I would hardly call it ‘super clear’

Here. The original post was really easy to find and take a new screenshot.

While that’s hilarious, it’s fucking dangerous.

Skiing is an extreme sport. People die or are very seriously injured. Something as ‘simple’ as a broken bone is immediately a much bigger issue because you are on a mountain where you need to be evacuated carefully.

It already infuriates me when people wear white clothing or other clothing that blends in with the scenery. You’re a total fucking idiot if you wear any kind of camo, especially arctic camo. You need to be seen so that people can keep their space or if you need to be evacuated.

If you’re dressing up as a yeti, then you’re going to be blending in and hard to be seen, then to add to that you’re scaring people which can very easily cause severe injury.

People don’t take this shit seriously.

(This is a joke at the blurry image posted by OP by exaggerating the blur)

I’ll never understand why this sort of thing is okay with people. Especially here on Lemmy.

It takes minimal effort to find a better copy. If you think it takes longer, then that’s because you never do it and you just need to do it a few times. With this small step we can make Lemmy significantly better than the rest of the Internet.

There’s a meme under all that jpeg?

More pixels

Ah yes, I see you are practiced in the “I know you are but what am I?” technique. That’s very advanced for you. Good job.

Ok, Karen

Found the Karyn

Showing him using actual chess pieces doesn’t mean he’s smart. You don’t have to be intelligent to play chess. But, yeah, I think most people associate the idea of chess at all with high intelligence.

FYI - “Crysis” is an intentional misspelling of the word “crisis” for the purpose of the title of a video game.

I guess they thought the Y made it cooler? I dunno, but it definitely never worked for people’s names. Karyn is so much worse than Karen.

Insane? I don’t think so. I’d call him a dangerously self-centered narcissist. (The redundancy is intentional to stress the extreme amplitude of his self-serving attitude and behaviors)

Oops. Thanks. Updated. I know better, too. 🤦

Worse than stupid. Willfully ignorant and actively wields that ignorance as a weapon for malicious deeds. Also a rapist.

I take offense that hatch green chiles are claimed to be less spicy than jalapeños. Also, habaneros are pretty often not that spicy, though plenty of them are.

What is the bottom image from?
