I found an ironic thing

feels like a meme.

Important: You should upload your images to perchance.org/upload rather than linking directly to images that you find on the internet.

looks up at the images.

are all direct links to images on the internet

Yeah, Imgur was previously the recommendation as BluePower mentioned, but then Imgur started deleting images (which they said they'd never do), which prompted me to create perchance.org/upload so we have a place to upload perchance-related files that will live forever - I still need to update all the URLs on a bunch of plugins - e.g. background plugin, layer combiner, etc. and associated example gens. I'll get around to reuploading all the imgur urls on perchance one day...

I still wonder how these sample images still survive on imgur, even after the deletion incidence. Great story, I didn't know that long ago.

Update: I think all the imgur sample images there have now been changed to the ones hosted on user-uploads.perchance.org! @Alllo@lemmy.world

@Alllo Fun fact: The plugin page itself was written to encourage users to upload to imgur at the time perchance.org/upload was not made yet. That's why these images still use the source from the imgur site. I've also never noticed they updated that to change it to perchance.org/upload.
