Okay, so we didn't get off to a glorious start with today's meme contest. I hope someone wants to pick up the slack and try again. In the meantime please post suggestions for other contests. Here are a few that occurred to me:
  • Charity Satsraisers

Does anyone volunteer at a local shelter or rescue organization?
  • Ugliest Dog/Cat contest

I know all our pets are beautiful to us, but this could be fun.
Other ideas are welcome. I know mine kinda suck
Charity satsraiser for a pet rescue is a great idea. Would be nice if we find one that will take the donation in bitcoin and commit to keeping it on their balance sheet instead of immediately converting to fiat.
I mentioned my best ideas yesterday. Dog day afternoons- everybody post their dog pics. Since cats are a bit mischievous you could have a cat takeover of dog day once and awhile to keep it interesting. And the other was the caption this contest where someone posts a pic of their pet, hopefully doing something cute or funny and we all try to make hilarious captions for it.
Depending how much work you want to give yourself, you could do a Pet (animal) fact of the day post. I was thinking about randomly doing interesting sports facts in the sports territory as well. I never really did it before because we always had fun fact friday but those seem to be on hiatus now so maybe on Fridays I will post an interesting sports fact and others can share theirs too.
Here is a pic of my dog laying on the stairs for no particular reason.

I always like photos of your dog. He looks like a character
reply
She.
Yes she and my daughter are both characters. My life is filled with joy and frustration. Fortunately joy wins out 80/20 but both the dog and the kid know how to push that 20 button.
reply
My entire life I have had male cats and female dogs. The combo works perfectly. She's quite a looker, by the way.
reply
Yes she gets a lot of attention. People love the fact that she has a bit of Dalmatian in her. My wife likes to say "Dalmatian in the front, Pointer in the back".
reply
That's a good idea, your dog is very pretty.
reply
Thanks.

I would lovingly take part in a charity sats raiser for pregnant dogs. My chinks is pregnant of 60 days now and within a day or two she will deliver cute tiny tiny puppies.
TBH, anything for animals, birds, trees, I suppose that humans are made superior in some ways to help other species. So, it's a help in God's work.
I plan to do a stasraiser for my organisation later, may be. I and my organisation plant trees. We have planted more than a million trees till now. We have also saved so many trees from cutting down.
My organisation has recently taken it as another task to help Street dogs whenever wherever we find them in need. We work locally, so I'm not projecting my organisation for satsraiser. However, I'm ready to put Sats on the balance sheet for forever and vow to help my real friends, dogs, cows, cats, other person whenever they are in need.
reply
Wow! Are you still feeding every dog on the way to work? I also remember about your love for trees. But you never told me about some organisation! If you did I would also take part. No matter, you can tell us here.
reply
Very worthy goals.

Organise a contest like this. A picture of the sun in the morning must be clicked. The best picture should get the prize. picture should not be AI generated.
reply
Everything that can be done to help and care for our pets... we must do it!! They also feel and are part of our family... I am Venezuelan and I live in Peru and it is difficult for me to have a pet because I have to rent and not everywhere they let me with my dog ​​Uma... at the moment we are happy in a new department that if we are together.
reply
Sats for cats contest. Of course, sats can also be used for dogs.
reply
Charity satsraiser is a good idea imo. It will be fun to see how much stackers love our loyal companions.
reply
I don't like the second idea even you have depicted it in the most positive manner.
But I'm seriously in for the first one.
reply
Yes. I was only joking

?
reply
Good idea.

no one has an ugly dog/cat... you'll get much more engagement ;)

What about this guy?

such original smile ! And I can bet this isn't yours.. Otherwise, you will be not sharing it
Anyhow, beauty is subjective, my point is that instead of valuing ugly/unfortunate pets you could focus on beauty and let's the community decide the most beautiful ones. You also spread total opposite vibes to the community, think about that ;)
reply
I agree with you. I was just joking

The first idea that came to my mind was to show off the best tricks your pet can do aka how well-trained your pet is (assuming that doesn't get inappropriate for the pets for some reason).
But that would require uploading videos and we don't support that yet :/
But maybe that's still an option or inspiration for something else.
reply
Biggest ham photo i.e. pics of your pets being a ham? Or pets in funny sleeping positions maybe. And to prevent scraping from the web, require a paper with handwritten nym in the pic? Just spitballing
reply
Keep spitballing. You're coming up with good ones. If you want to run with one, I'll go halfsies on the award.
reply
I don't think I have time time to run with one myself, but if anyone wants to use one of my ideas, they should feel free!
reply
Fair enough.
reply
What happened at the meme contest?
reply
It was aborted early due to another meme contest occuring simultaneously. It will be back in some form at some point.
reply
This is why people should default to pro life!
reply
lol they dont suck, it just takes time to develop a community. What about you do a beautiful cat or beautiful dog picture contest. Or funniest pose?
reply
Yes, beautiful is probably better. Funny photos are good too, but nothing would prevent people from just pulling good ones off the web. I guess that isn't such a bad thing.
reply
oh right, I didnt think of that. Just have them take pictures with the current price of bitcoin. lol
reply
Good idea!
