Before I had a smartphone, I used to consume memes in the Reddit RSS feed with the Opera Mini browser. The already tiny preview images were scaled down to 140x140 and compressed to 5kB JPEGs by the transcoder. At least the phone didn’t scale them down, the software is incapable of rendering images outside native resolution…
Yes, it’s worse than sans-serif would be at that size but I can read most characters and figure out the rest from context. And you can tilt the phone to adjust the contrast (bad viewing angles on that TFT, significant color changes even between eyes at normal viewing distance). It looks better in person without the moirè and in the dark with the scratches being less prominent.
Edit: I want to be clear, this was not meant to be disparaging. There’s centuries of documents written in cursive, and it’s a reading skill that’s mostly been dropped in modern education. If you’re taught that skill, though, this round-hand font is not a problem to read. It is a weird choice for this meme, though.
Unreadable font.

Dude, your setup must suck…
This is best of Lemmy tier shitposting.
Practice reading archived cursive notes. Then you’ll be more than prepared to read this.

I can read it fine, I was exaggarating. I write in cursive myself, though it looks like shit because i have dysgraphia. I appreciate the thought tho.
