WHO’S A NAUGHTY BOY THEN? - Dave Trott's Blog
Warwickshire Wildlife Sanctuary is a very peaceful place. Well it was until the mayor’s wife visited the latest addition: Barney the parrot. As she came closer to inspect the parrot’s beautiful plumage, Barney saw her gold chains and regalia. Barney squawked at her: “You can fuck off.” They quickly hurried the mayor’s wife away

We won't spoil the surprise.
Jupiter Rowland@Tanya Here are three examples that I've actually posted into the Fediverse (on another channel than the one I'm replying from now, so don't go looking for them). Mind you, they adhere to the alt-text rules for the Fediverse rather than those for websites and blogs, and yes, there is a difference.
Example no. 1: Meme directly based on one template with overlaid captions.
Screen capture from the live-action film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, edited into an image macro. It shows a close-up of the actor Sean Bean as the character Boromir. He is speaking with a concerned expression on his face. His right hand has taken the shape of a ring with all fingers with the thumb and and index finger touching. The image has two large pieces of text. The one at the top is, “One does not simply,” and the one at the bottom continues with, “implement FEP-EF61.” An explanation of the meme template used in this picture and background information can be found in the post. If you are on Mastodon, Misskey or one of its forks, the post is hidden behind a summary and content warning. If you are on Pleroma, Akkoma, Friendica, Hubzilla or (streams), the explanations follow right below this image.
Example no. 2: Meme directly based on one template with extra space for captions.
Image macro, based on a digital photograph of a fluffy and very chubby calico cat sitting on the floor on its hindquarters and looking upward at the bowl of Fruit Loops in the bottom left corner of the image. At the top of the image, there is a very light grey space with a two-part caption. It starts with: “Daniel Supernault:<em> announces a TikTok clone for the Fediverse.” This is followed by a blank line and, “Fediverse users:”. Between the grey space and the image, there is a narrower white space with another caption that has been part of the image for longer than the grey space. The caption speaks for the cat, “bröther may i have some lööps”, with the “o”s being umlauts.
Example no. 3: Self-made collage using multiple templates (contains a Japanese profanity, though, but I didn't want to alter it).
Collage of captioned meme images of various kinds in two rows. In the top left, there are two smugly grinning Wojaks, facing half each other, half the audience. The one on the left has the diaspora* logo above his head and his hand on his chin in a pensive gesture. The one to his right is wearing a black tuxedo with a bowtie, and he has the Mastodon logo above his head. These two have a common caption below them: “We're beyond such peasantry as that filthy and grubby PHP. We demand only the best: Ruby on Rails.“ Slightly right of centre, still in the top row, there is a bearded Soyjak with glasses, crying with his mouth wide open, pink eyes and streams of tears running down his cheeks. He is facing towards the left. Above his head is the Pleroma logo. His caption is, in all-caps and ending in five exclamation marks, “Noooooooo, Elixir is the way to go and PostgreSQL!” In the top right, there is another bearded and bespectacled Wojak, facing towards the left again. This one is angry with the Misskey logo above his head. With the same open mouth as the one to his left, he shouts, “Utter heresy, there is no match for TypeScript and Vue.js, baka!” The bottom row is taken up by three creepy-looking brownish moths with glowing eyes. The left one is facing towards the right with the Friendica logo above it. The other two are facing towards the left with the logos of Hubzilla and the streams repository above them. Their common caption is, in huge all caps and with an umlaut, “Lämp”.
The original posts also have explanations in the post text for those who don't understand the image and the description which I expect to be the norm. They went into the post text because explanations must never go into the alt-text, and because they wouldn't fit into a maximum of 1,500 characters anyway. I would post these explanations as well, but you've only asked for alt-texts, and besides, these explanations tend to be even longer than the alt-texts.

Eric the half-a-beeAustralia may be well known for the plethora of unfriendly animals that want to bite you or do you in like snakes, spiders, sharks, crocodiles, and drop bears; but now here is something else you can beware of.
The Australian Swearing Owl more commonly known as the Frogmouth Owl, will help to make your stay here upsetting and enraging. Hunting by night the owl will sit in a tree by day and spend the whole time swearing and cursing loudly and profusely. This, along with its huge beak, distinguishes it from the beautiful and cultured owls found in the #NorthernHemisphere.
It has an incredible vocabulary consisting solely of the foulest and most disgusting language, particularly if tourists are known to be in the area.
