Thank you but also unthank you
The alt text doesn’t help, can someone explain the joke here?
The alt text is for explaining what people would see in that image when the image doesn’t display/load or in general are unable to see it (e.g. blind people)
Perhaps mom is afraid that her daughter is going blind? I dunno.
I don’t see alt-text here?
I do, when I hover my mouse over the image. YMMV, depending on your client.
Odd. I’m on Firefox.
When I mouseover I just get a message to expand the image. Like this:
Upon expanding the image, I cannot get alt-text to appear.
EDIT: Here’s what I get when I use dev tools to inspect the element:
Notice the

My instance is .ml and I used jerboa, which has an alt-text field below the image uploader.
Annoyingly, while Jerboa has a field to add alt text to the submission when you create it, I can’t find a way to get it to show me the alt text on a submission that has already been created.
A two panel meme with Candace and her mom from the cartoon Phineas and Ferb. They are alone in the car with Candace’s mom driving.
In the top panel sits Candace in the passenger seat, smiling and gesturing with her hands to show excitement and she’s speaking.
Text at the bottom of this panel says “they are so nice to put alt-text under their memes just for people like me to get the joke.”
In the bottom panel the same scene but this time her hands are at rest together while Candace’s mom looks at her and is speaking.
Text at the bottom of this panel says “I worry about you sometimes Candace.”
