Seeing as how the point of an imageboard is to aggregate a large number of high-quality memes, I'd like to propose the following convention for filenames:

*All lowercase

*No punctuation (punctuation may be spelled out if needed, or omitted, or replaced with a space as appropriate)

*Numbers (including decimal points, but not including grouping commas) are fine

*Separation of words in filename is done with spaces

*Descriptive in some way (perhaps a transcription of significant text in the file, or a description of something in the file, or some text you found)

*if it would be hard to type on a standard English keyboard (e.g. π.jpg) consider using a different name (e.g. pi.jpg)

*Break any of these rules sooner than write anything outright barbarous

I hope these guidelines will allow for well-labeled memes to be passed around this board in a productive way, and for users of this board to accumulate well-indexed meme collections. Since this board presumably has a high tolerance for strange practices aimed at mildly increasing goodness, I believe in us!

(Unrelatedly, can we remove the limit of one upload per post?)

Separation of words in filenames should be done with underscores, you WINDOWS-USING friend!

Seeing as how the point of the rationalist community is to needlessly systematize all organic processes, I'd like to propose the following convention for anyone considering a faggy new schema for something:

Man, I just want to quickly save memes to my hard drive without having to type a new filename each time.

I'm telling you, you use the right tools on GNU and you can use spaces like there's no tomorrow.

Anyhow, if you stick to the rules you can just quickly use rename or whatever to change all the spaces to underscores and vis versa.

I use "detox" to remove spaces and other unappealing characters. It's a handy program and is packaged in Debian.

I like your filenames. I found them very amusing. I even laughed out loud. Thanks for sharing, friend.

Mice are rat-adjacent.

JPEG files with extensions of anything other than .jpeg are outright barbarous.

I have tons of jpegs named .png and sometimes .jpg.png . Imgur is ridiculous. The worst is mp4s with the .gif extension. Also gifv videos which are just some xml with a link to the real video and unplayable. Ugh.

.gifv is representative of a lot of what's wrong with computers.

You start out with a simple format for still images. Then someone adds an extension for animation to it, because moving images are useful. Then people start transcoding videos to it, because that makes them easier to share. But those files are too big, so then imgur transcodes them back to a video format, webm, shows the webm in a way that unsuccessfully attempts to be as useful as a gif and loses some of the advantages of proper video formats in the process, and calls it gifv to confuse everyone.

Okay. What is the alternative?
