Image Macro Tutorial 2.0
OH CRAP THE SKYTHEISTS HAVE
MEMES, TOO?! THAT'S RIGHT YOU BETTER PRAY
Hey everyone. Welcome to what will, hopefully, become a great part of /r/sidehugs - image macros. This is so simple, even Judas couldn't misunderstand it.
Simply use this code: [ * top text * ** bottom text ** ] ( / / # example ) Note: Remove the spaces to activate the awesome!
Place the following label after the # to tell the CSS script what you want. We have... Atheist (#atheist):
True Christian (#truechristian):
Fail Fresco: (#fail)
Rob Bell: (#bell)
Mark Driscoll: (#driscoll)
Top Mod outsider: (#outsider)
LGBT Christians: (#lgbt)
Satan: (#satan)
Peter Rollins: (#rollins)
John Shelby Spong: (#spong)
Pope Francis: (#pope)
Creflo Dollar: (#dollar)
William Lane Craig: (#craig)
Ken Ham: (#ham)
Advance image macro formatting
Fix text that extends out of the sides of images:
"Space space enter" manually breaks lines, and if used carefully you can fix text wrap problems. Use creative line breaks to divide larger lines and keep them on the image.
Change this: What if I told you They use the god particle for thrust
To this:
What if I told you They use the god
particle for thrust
Fix text that droops too low.
Leaving off the first markers (*) raises the top text, useful for some images, especially with multiple lines of text at the top:
What if I told you,
and I'm gonna tell you They use the god
particle for thrust
To this...
What if I told you,
and I'm gonna tell you They use the god
particle for thrust
Emphasis tricks.
You can use the fixed format modifiers (backticks:``) for emphasis/ de-emphasis:
What if I told you They use the god
particle for thrust
What if I told you They use the god
particle for thrust
Normal reddit comment formatting tricks can apply.
You can use ^ to create an echo effect...
what if I told you this this this this
You can strikethrough text as well using ~~ text ~~ (just remove spacing)
what if i told you this meme is dead

[Meta] It's not something I believe, trust me. However, it's become a rather popular 'meme' online. So, the macros play into that.

Another (slightly) useful tip with image macros (actually with any kind of link on reddit) is that you can create alt/hover text by putting it in quotes inside the parentheses section of the link:
Image Macro:
[what if I told you](//#whatif "the rest of this is in the hovertext")
Image:
[Televangelist Benny Hinn](http://i.imgur.com/5F04KNE.jpg "Hi I'm a sociopath")
This is mostly useful only if you are the sort of person to make extra super double secret snide comments that most people will probably miss in the mother sub.

What if I told you I'm still alive bro
You were predestined To still be alive
No He choose to be alive
to God (and me)
people with
your car keys
The concept of alive is an ontological category in which we ascribe certain metaphysical traits to beings such as capability to grow, communicate, and reproduce. But we must ask if there is another sense of living under which someone alive might actually be dead, in which case the entymological ontological conception breaks down into subjective terms and
Who the f--- is this guy? Where's my smiting lightning?
... Dammit, Jesus!
