Well... At least they didn't call it RansomMobile, I guess.

So it is. What kind of weirdo names their car brand "Oldsmobile"?

Introducing, the all new Oldsmobile Junktruck!

Chevrolet Lumina, right?

It's just the last part of the test.

There's also a scene like this in a French movie, albeit with Peugeots. I think it was one of the Taxi films.

Edit:
Found it, was Taxi 2.

No problem. If you have more questions, feel free to ask.

I used Sync back in Reddit days, but not on Lemmy, so IDK if that's Sync's fault or your instance's*. Try another client? I'm currently using Voyager. It's like Apollo for iOS, but free.

This is the link you're using:

https://imgflip.com/i/8zykr0

(I also noticed that you switched to using another image 8zyq0d vs 8zykr0, so I'll switch as well to avoid confusion)
It's not a direct link to an image. Use a direct link to an image:

https://i.imgflip.com/8zykr0.jpg

As you can see, the URLs are different:

  • "i." in front of imgflip.com
  • ".jpg" at the end

Try copy-pasting this exact line:

![](https://i.imgflip.com/8zykr0.jpg)

and you should get:


Now, IDK why your client adds the proxy, but I hope that it's not breaking anything. We will know once you try.

Here's the URL in your comment:

https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fimgflip.com%2Fi%2F8zyq0d

If you try to open it directly, you'll see an error, when you should be seeing an image.

I see a couple issues with it.
Firstly, URL contains an image proxy. Now, I'm not sure how exactly Lemmy works and if those are necessary, but my comments don't have those (on most clients you can use an option to see the raw comment text).
Secondly, that imgflip URL leads to a page and not to a direct image, which causes issues. If you link the direct image URL like so:

![not a meme](https://i.imgflip.com/8zyq0d.jpg)

The result is:
not a meme


Regarding the podcast you linked, I'm in no way associated with it, if that's what you thought. I'm just using an account on StarTrek.website Lemmy instance because I'm a fuckin' nerd. 🖖

Why is it wrong though? And why/how are people special? You didn't provide any reasoning to either.

The only problem with your image above is that the link to is broken. If you insert an existing URL from web, it will work.

Not sure why your uploads don't work though.

Do you mean you want to insert an inline image? To do that you need to use markdown embed, like so:

![optional image title](https://image.url.jpg)

Exclamation point makes the image appear inline, instead of as a link.
