Change The Meaning Contest - Win 50 Steem!

How many times have you tried to find the perfect image for your post? You probably know it, the struggle to find the one photograph that fits your post well enough to draw attention. Combined with the right heading, it’s millions of Steem just waiting to happen!

Kidding.

Still, “a picture says more than a thousand words”, and how true that is became apparent when I encountered a National Geographic Article today:

It should be relatively clear what the story is about. Insects are dying, and we might suffer the consequences.

But … what if we switch that picture?

That … changes everything.

So, let’s make a contest! Pick a (real) headline, change the picture, completely change the meaning!

The Rules:

• Make a post that contains the original headline and picture, with a link to the article and a short summary

Example:

National Geographic

Summary: Insects are important for us. They do not just pollinate our food, they are generally important for the ecosystem and we even eat some of them directly. Without insects, humanity would probably very quickly die, together with most other animals and plants.

• Change the picture but keep the headline. Provide a new summary for your changed story. Remember to provide a source for the new picture (I recommend pixabay.com for CC0 pictures).

Example:

Summary: Every day, better and better artificial intelligences are being built by skilled computer scientists. There have already been several close calls with an AI that intended to exterminate all humanity – but a bug in the code prevented it from executing it plans. Let’s hope we never experience what an AI will do that isn’t stopped by bugs. (picture by geralt on pixabay.com) _@suesa
