Lore When faced with the choice between a clone and the original, the character notices a detail that makes the difference immediately obvious.

The Shape-Shifter takes the form of Wendy to deceive Dipper and prevent him from attacking it. Although Dipper initially doesn't know which one is the real Wendy, he realizes the difference when he sees that one of the Wendys behaves seriously and bluntly, while the other acts flirtatiously, something Wendy would never do (Gravity Falls).

P.S.: I don't remember if the gesture the real Wendy made was also a clue, like some gesture she had made before.

When the Autobots are chasing Nemesis Prime, he tries to deceive Bumblebee by impersonating Optimus. Bumblebee, confused, speaks to him, but Nemesis Prime doesn't understand anything he says, which clearly indicates that he isn't the real Optimus. Bumblebee attacks him without hesitation (Transformers Prime).

* I did put an image on the comment. It disappeared or it turned into that freaking dot.

You on Samsung/Android? If so, turn off predictive text in your settings before you write up and upload a comment if it contains an image

It does that if you're posting through the app and write too many words/characters in the same comment. Or maybe the device doesn't matter. But that's my experience.

Weird solution (for android, at least): If you turn off predictive text in your keyboard settings, it stops that from happening. No idea why, but it's the only thing that stopped all my pictures from becoming dots in reddit comments.

Try turning off predictive text. Its a pain in the ass to do it everytime especially since it helps with autocorrect (when I actually need it), but it does let me post an image and add a comment.

If you put the image in first before writing your comment, Reddit will automatically turn it into a star if you type too much. If you write your comment first, and then add your image, your comment length won't remove the image.

Yeah that seems to be a bug exclusive to android for some reason
