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.
