This community still needs an icon, and just the flag is boring. What does the community want to see?

Never forget that the classic video game Lemmings is itself a British creation.

This would be my pitch:

Alternate version and transparent PNG


Still an official™️ Lemmings skin tone, but one from a later game I guess, in the interest of inclusivity:

Transparent PNG in case anyone wants to remix it:

Easy, relevant banner idea


Use a screenshot like this one, but decide what they're queueing for. Greggs? Woolies? Half-price biscuits? The possibilities are endless.

Ooh, I love it! I'm inclined to go with the banner already. Any objections?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Make it so (please)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Gotta be between this and top hat lemming. Does Lemmy do polls, yet? 🤔

This has got to be it, it's perfect

Just for fun I asked gpt-4 what the most British thing is, I then asked it to make a prompt for midjourney. Here is the result. (Don't question the alien hand)

Ugh the hands. Always the hands.

Angry woman looking at sausage

How about this most British of pictures? Angry person, reactolite glasses, a sausage ready for the back garden barbecue and even a sneaky garden fence. If there was a wheelie bin in there it would cover 90% of normal chat :-)

(Edit: and please for the love of all that is holy do not use a top-hat or a monocle. Those are lazy parodies of Britishness used mainly by Americans whose idea of the UK comes from The Crown and Downton Abbey. There's only one person who I can even imagine wearing either item regularly and I would probably get banned for saying what I think of him.)

A buttery crumpet?

Greggs pasty, or a nice cuppa (pending inevitable bickering over exactly what shade of tea)

Edit: Differentiate ourselves from the other place with an icon of a duck

A quick image search for "union jack rubber duck" shows some contenders...

I was thinking something Greggs based as well. I was just going to say the logo though 😂

I know this is a safe space, so I'm going to say something controversial. I don't like anything Greggs make (apart from the jammie dodger biscuit)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

... There's a limit to how safe a space gets you know

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, that's fair. I'll take it on the chin!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I propose this cute rubber ducky! All hail the duckies!

An imposing picture of Mr Blobby

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So, just a picture of Mr. Blobby?

Honestly that diseased penis looking fucker haunts my nightmares.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I now think a duck would be the funniest. Obviously, the ultimate "middle-finger" to the old regime.

Lemming wearing a top hat and monicle. Drinking a cuppa

This is brilliant! How'd you come up with it so quickly?

Bruv I tried AI and got this, not quite the same lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

This was my go, love how we're all getting totally different styles!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Maybe more suited to UKFormal?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago
