Here are a couple of links to alternatives:
https://alternativeto.net/software/imgur/
https://alternative.me/imgur

Apparently imgur is no longer available in the UK:

A help article on Imgur's US website, seen by the BBC, states that "from September 30, 2025, access to Imgur from the United Kingdom is no longer available". "UK users will not be able to log in, view content, or upload images. Imgur content embedded on third-party sites will not display for UK users."


I wish DU allowed direct uploads but I can see many reasons why that is not advisable.

If I pretend I'm in Canada it's OK.

I'm sure the reason is because of the UK Online Safety Act and that the picture hosting company hosts NSFW images and rather than comply with UK law they decide to just block the UK instead.

…. until I saw the one where the listener looks pained as he sings. Reminds me of the faces around me when I sing. And I love to sing.
My son says that my singing makes people’s ears bleed.
The pastor of the church where I sing in the choir (he knows I don’t believe any of the dogmas but I ‘translate’ to allegory, symbolism and poetry) says that I can’t carry a tune even with two buckets.
I love singing call-and-response old Gospel songs in Alamogordo’s AME church.

It was an image that I added to one of SCE's OP's when he invited us to add our own that particular Sunday.


I'll post here if you want to have the image.

For a bit of respite, recovery from the challenging political climate, I had really come to look forward to his posts on Sunday morning.
Again, thank you

I reached out to Mr. Scorpio in 2024 and he wanted someone else to carry the torch that year. So I did the countdown.


Again, this year I reached out to him and he said life was keeping him too busy. So I told him that I would do it.


Next year, I'll reach out and ask him again since it's technically his Halloween countdown that I'm doing.


I'll always ask him first.

There will probably be repeats from SCE's posts, but I hope not often I don't even know how many Sunday LOL Cats he posted, but there were a lot.

Repeats are always welcomed on my end.

I've had that mother/cub tiger image stored in Imgur, which it seems like a very long time now.


Thank you for all your hard work. I know it's not an easy chore.


Here's to SCE!

I'm trying to locate a specific print from the same artist, but I haven't found it. I don't remember the exact title. But I like all of the illustrations by him that I've seen

Sun Nov 30, 2025, 09:53 AM

to get your first meme to show up exclaiming "First!"???

I would have needed most of the day, with a calculator and a spreadsheet. I might even have consulted AI.



Thanks, Marthe!

31. It's a process
Sun Nov 30, 2025, 10:39 AM

I remember when SalmonChantedEvening posted Sunday LOL Cats, several people had an informal contest about who was first to post. When I saw that one, had to use it. And it had to be first. He always put the photos last, so I'm doing that to create a post that follows SCE's plan.

I find the memes in different places and upload them to Imgur. After they're uploaded, there is a rearrange feature for each post. I try to have the memes uploaded and in order before Sunday morning. To be sure they copy as an image, I click on each pic>open in new tab and then copy-paste the link address. It took me about 20 minutes today. It's been trail and error to find a way that works for me, and that I don't have to relearn every week. If I get the post up before 7:30 a.m. you can bet your bippy I haven't had much coffee!

The cat with the "mustache" really cracked me up, and the cat in the Colosseum did as well. So did a lot of the others, but those were my faves!
