MemeHive Weekly Meme Digest - May 15-May 23, 2020

by @holovision

A little late to press due to circumstances but the third weekly MemeHive review of recent memes is finally up. Two extra days added because of being behind but we'll call that bonus content for this digest. You're welcome. :-)

I am currently raising funds to start a meme tribe on the hive blockchain. The purpose of the tribe is to encourage good and quality memes while tokenizing memes to add value for the creative work.

Following are some of the good memes that have been posted on Hive in the last week(ish) using the #meme tag.

Since I am a little behind schedule making this post I might as well start with this meme by @brittandjosie. It seems timely.

Here's a meme based on "Boardroom Suggestion". It's a good use of meme to bring up an issue that most in society feel uncomfortable just thinking about.

Due to the current pandemic a lot of kids' education has gone from mainstream public schooling to learning at home. Who says this meme isn't predicting the future?

Because real men understand that the physics of the unflinching walk trope is unrealistic. Might as well be sitting down because in real life you'd be knocked down.

As long as we're on the topic of science and tropes...

As the admin of the mad scientists community I commend @rachelcreative for finding ways to exploit weaknesses. Shouldn't that red ranger die as often as Kenny McCormick? Wearing red in Star Trek tends to be a death wish. Where's the consistency?

The text that goes with this animated .gif posted by @theabsolute is

When your kid takes all of your silver coins and buys fast food

Why do I have the feeling there is a real life story behind this?

Even though based on the post accompanying this meme @morkrock clearly doesn't understand how public health policy works @morkrock still has free speech and the humor is in the absurdity. Maybe @morkrock was Mary Mallon in a previous life and the determination to ignore public health officials is karmic baggage. Who knows?

Memes don't have to be factually accurate. If Kool-Aid wants to pay me though I'll write about Flavor Aid and Jonestown like how I made fun of the flat Earth conspiracy after Fisher-Price bribed me more than the U.N. and NASA.

It's almost comical reading past @steemitblog posts such as "Censorship: Why All Blockchain Projects Should Join Steem (especially Status)" and seeing all the projects that have jumped ship in 2020 off the platform.

Honorable Mentions:

No actual meme in either post but worth mentioning because the purpose of @memehive is to help encourage good memes on hive with quality content. @gre3n has made a post about adding 500 Hive Power to his meme community and creating a single discord server for both his art and meme communities that will be made public soon.

Thank you for the mention.
You are taking about raising funds, what do you mean with that

On Hive engine a tribe costs 2,000 BEE tokens to have a basic tribe (1,000 BEE for staking token and 1,000 BEE for initializing bot to reward posts). Currently @memehive has 1,290 BEE.

Right now I am powering down my steem and hive power to trade for BEE tokens, trying to sell a few assets on opensea.io and a few other methods for raising funds. Basically it means the meme tribe isn't officially a tribe yet but it's a matter of how long it will take me to raise the rest before it will be official.

Thanks for the mention, it makes me feel all mushy inside knowing my original depression meme made the cut 😌

Looking forward to the meme tribe, let me know if you need any help setting it up.

Cheers
