I prefer to use the lossless format of PNG, pronounced as Ping.

I wonder if JPEG is a kink option on J Date

What some call "compression artifacts," I call "extra crunchy."

It's actually pronounced gay-peg, to balance out gif being pronounced jiff.

I think this is the best one here. Hey can you send me that document as a gaypeg? Thanks!

From JPEG.org, jpeg stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group. Ph = F, ergo JPEG = JFEG. I irrationally dislike jpeg, so I will now try to call it jfeg as some light fun. I think more people shoulda normalise calling common things silly alternate pronunciations that are still clearly recognisable as the original word, just to add the whimsy of getting to chuckle silently to yourself thinking "that's not how that's said!"

Get jfegged out of here, you jif lover.

[-] EtherTide@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

thankfully, I can still call it gif bc the creator of .gif says jif. I shiver at the thought of jif...
