Pug, you secretly work for Wikipedia? Cause you be generating traffic dawg, lol. Looks like I got some exploring to do, thanks bud!
I want a new image format just for the iceberg memes
Basic HTML+PNG+CSS(optional, if it’s the it’ll use it’s on CSS to make sure it renders there same way everywhere, and without it, it’ll use the CSS on the site so it matches styles)+no JS
IE, you can embed links and text on an image. and I can click them at will.
Other uses, I can send you a business card as an image, and you can click it.
Or pico8 cartridges you can click to go to play on a browser.
Or watermarks that you an click and go straight to them OF from the picture…
and that is only the ideas I just came up with on the spot.
I highly recommend Ibn Battuta’s travelogue! It’s riddled with his own local prejudices, of course, but it’s a really fantastic insight into a great swathe of the medieval world, including parts of Africa.
someone reply to me when a video essay about that iceberg comes out.
thanks
Yoruba Terracottas is the deepest I ever got on my own at the time of this post.
Level 3 is my comfort zone.
My deepest is the vandal kingdom, but I know very little from the levels around. I just like the period of great migration.
I hit one topic in 7 by pure Romabooism, but realistically speaking, my knowledge rarely passes 4-5.
Ibn Battuta is surprisingly high up on the iceberg, but his travelogue really is a fantastic read.
Vandal Kingdom of St Augustine fame feels way less obscure than Land of Punt or Garamantes, but who cares I gotta find out about that Roman coin!.
Fun fact! Modern Tanzania (just north of Mozambique) was the furthest regular port visited by Roman trade ships departing from Egypt, a trip which took three months down the coast, and then three months back to Egypt - assuming favorable timing with the winds!
