Memes From Public Domain Historical Photos
I like supporting the different tribes on HIVE. Meme HIVE is one of the newer tribes on the platform. The tribe encourages people to create and share "memes."
An internet meme is usually just text on a image.
Meme artists on other platforms have a history of violating the copyrights of the creators of the base image.
People on HIVE tend to respect copyrights. I eant to applaud the people for that.
I still want to create a few memes for the Meme Tribe. I figure the most fruitful source for memes would be historical photos that are in the public domain. I created two memes. The first is based on a picture of Winston Churchill discussing Liberal Politics with Lloyd George in 1907.
This is an historically important photo as it shows that Churchill was a Liberal before the rise of the Labour Party.
I have the two talking about facial hair as most of the radicals of the day had wild facial hair.
The second picture shows Friedrich Nietzsche sporting a cookie duster that could wipe the poppy seeds off a muffin.
Historical Photos on HIVE
I drew both of the images from Wikicommons. It is the easiest thing to do.
The images are public domain. I would rather draw the images from the blockchain.
I started posts about creating intelligent images servers for HIVE. If HIVE had intelligent images servers, then we could the image servers to group posts on HIVE which would improve the SEO of the platform.
Remember, I am using public domain images. What I am doing is legal.
In a very quick mock up, I created two pages on my personal. The first is titled Churchill. The second is titled Nietzsche .
If HIVE had intelligent image servers, the image servers could both host images of public subjects and provide an additional index to subjects within HIVE.
Wikicommons is an intelligent image server. All of the images on wikipedia get placed in the commons. The commons then automatically links to the pages that use the images.
This very simple structure has an enormous SEO benefit for Wikipedia. The intelligent image servers help keep Wikipedia's articles at the top of search engines.
The extra step of categorizing photos means that the photos will also show up on photo searches and there is a huge number of pepole in this world that do image searches.
Anyway, I think public domain photos are good fodder for memes on meme hive. Once again it is 3:00 AM. I think I will hit the pillow and dream of growing a 'stache so that i can be a radical thinker too.
Nietzsche's stache Is so wild, I wonder how they grew so bushy. Do they just grow like that if you leave them?
The reason most men shave is because beards become unruly and require maintenance. I suspect a 'stashe would grow like the hair on the top of the head.
cracking up at the stache... lol
I appreciate your integrity in searching out the proper images to use- and shows that people CAN find awesome pics to meme! hehehe
nicely done!
Thank you for sharing this information. You have been given a generous MEME upvote to ensure this trends on https://www.hiveme.me.👍
By the end of this week @memehive will have a post tutorial about how to find and use images legally that are in the Creative Commons which is everything in Wikimedia commons and all other websites. Not just to create memes but also use https://www.hiveme.me/nfts/ to make those memes NFTs.
Please feel free to apply to be whitelisted at hiveme.me/nfts and make those memes in your post limited edition NFTs.
So true the first meme. In politics men with facial hair are hiding something evil, think of: Lenin, Stalin, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Jeremy Corbyn, Pablo Iglesias, and Nicolás Maduro. Do not trust them!
It's not simply facial hair. Narcissists obsess over the way that they groom themselves. The h-man had a patented half mustache.
Some people will have beards because they really aren't consumed with self image and the beard just happened.
BTW, the one exception to the rule is pencil thin mustaches as people who sport pencil think mustaches are pretty much all movie heroes.
