Most people use Imgur to host their avatars.
But that is probably not what you were asking, wasn't it.

it answers my question. I just wasn't sure if they flush old pics at all and I would eventually lose them.

I even got to use my spider gif.

I sent that one to my boyfriend and told him I found a pic of a sexy girl.

He really hates spiders.

Spiders? yep. Maggots? awesome. but ticks? fuck no.

My dog got a tick on her yesterday and I was thoroughly grossed out. I usually get fascinated by things that give me that crawling feeling on my skin, but no no no.

God they're just all bloated and ew. eee I'm shivering thinking about it.

So I changed my avatar with that signavatar thing, will it be a problem that the pictures are on imgur? Should I move them?

Well, it seems to be working fine. Though it's just going between your usual dog one (I guess that's your dog?) and one of a cat.

Edit: Oh theres the spider one.

FInals Weeeek

Good luck! I got my only final in an hour. Wish me luck, Bay12!

Good luck, finals aren't that bad.

I'm seeing the spider gif also, it's a pic of a girl and a spider. Hmm I'm wondering if only I am seeing it.

Saw that one shortly after posting and refreshing.

Oh, okay. AFAIK they keep images ad infinitum.

[Sinistar]

Yeah, I saw that spider gif also. Quite fascinating, I wonder which species that is.

I don't know, it's hard to tell.

I assume she has worked with the spider to get it to do that.

[TamerVirus]

OH FUCK NO

[Loud Whispers]

IIRC It's six months if the picture hasn't been "viewed" in that time. I'm not sure what "viewed" means, if it means someone goes to the actual picture on imgur, or if it being loaded by a page is enough.


ALSO: Humans are just machines that are squishy and had a long time of trial and error to get it right. I don't see why an AI with purpose behind it can't match or exceed us, especially if it can modify itself and has a desire to modify itself to help us and itself. (That's the important bit, if you make an AI that can build itself up, you have to make it WANT to build itself to better humanity/the sentient's of the world/whatever. It'll still be ABLE to build itself into the death of humanity, convert us all into computer substrate or whatever, but if it doesn't WANT to, and doesn't want to change that desire, than it'd be safe. Just like you can go and stuff a bunch of poison into the water supply, you don't *want* to, so you don't. You're still pretty capable of doing it though.)

Of course, since it'd be a person, it'd probably have some quirks of personality, and so it might not create something that every human enjoys or even understands. Or any human, nothing saying it won't have some aesthetics only synthetic life like it can enjoy.

My sister would hate me so much if I showed her that gif.
Bookmarked for a time of true need.

[smeeprocket]

HOld on, I just realized that's not the max size.

[MaximumZero]

Welp, that just got adblock'd. Thanks for that.
