Today’s challenge is still pure, low-effort meme magic:
Pause any @SammSimon1968 TikTok at the perfectly terrible frame, slap on a $RENO caption, and blast it out both on Discourse and on Twitter. Every entrant wins, and the funniest one snags a bonus bag!
How to Play
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
1.  Hunt Samm’s Chaos |
Dive into Samm’s TikTok vault → @SammSimon1968(click here). |
2.  Freeze the Madness |
Pause any video right as Samm is mid-rant, mid-hammer, or mid-WTF. Screenshot it. |
3.  Caption it $RENO-style |
Overlay a short, hilarious line (gamify, cartoonify, make funny) — must name-drop $RENO or $RENOVATION. |
| a. Twitter: | Post the meme image with your caption, add the hashtag #RENOcoin, and tag @SammSimon1968 (optional flex). |
| b. Discourse: | In General, start a topic titled “Day 29 — Samm Snapshot Showdown.” |
| Include: | Your meme image, caption text, link to your tweet, and your Solana wallet address |

Meme Tips
| Theme Zone | What to Try | Why it Works |
|---|---|---|
 Construction Catastrophes |
• Samm juggling tools • Sawdust-cloud “explosions” • A ladder that really shouldn’t be that wobbly |
Every community member knows Samm + chaos = laughs; physical comedy is universally readable in one freeze-frame. |
 Safety-Poster Style |
• Add a yellow-black hazard-stripe border. • Use big red DANGER or SAFETY FIRST stamps. • Overlay a faux OSHA code like “§ 5.19: Stack $RENO Profit Safely.” |
Makes the meme look like an official notice—juxtaposition with Samm’s blunder is instant irony. |
 Gamified “Quest” HUD |
• Drop health bars or XP meters in a corner. • Add a +500 $RENO XP popup when Samm “fails” a task. • Insert an 8-bit coin icon for each $RENO mention. |
Matches our Renovation RPG narrative: the community “levels up” by posting. |
 Call-to-Action Gags |
• Keep Samm’s on-screen phone number but slap “For emergency $RENO airdrops, press 1” underneath. • Screenshot him gesturing with two fingers → caption “Dial #RENOcoin now.” |
Turns an ordinary promo frame into a joke that funnels attention to the hashtag. |
 “Local News” Overlay |
• Banner: LIVE — Contractor Chaos • Crawl text: “Viewers earn $RENO for every facepalm moment.” |
News-ticker parody is easy to build in Canva; viewers read while they laugh. |
 Micro-Expression Magic |
• Catch a blink-and-you-miss-it side-eye. • Zoom on Samm’s startled eyebrows. • Add “When the client says budget ≠ $RENO.” |
Close-ups of facial quirks read great on mobile feeds; adds relatability. |
 Tool Puns & Dad Jokes |
• “Samm’s got 99 problems, and this wrench ain’t screw-table.” • “Nailed it? More like failed it.” |
Puns stay under the 10-word limit and land even if the viewer hasn’t seen the original video. |
 Cartoonify Filters |
• Posterize + bold outlines (as in the demo). • Add speech bubbles with Comic Sans-ish fonts. • Sticker-style SFX: BANG!, BONK! |
Keeps brand cohesion with past ‘toon’ drops; contrasts nicely with real video still. |
 Ratio & Resolution Hacks |
• Twitter: 1 080 × 1 350 px (4 : 5) fills mobile screens. • Discourse: 1 080 × 1 080 px square thumbs cleanly. • Keep text in the center third—avoids auto-crop casualties. |
Guarantees your meme looks crisp and no punchline gets trimmed. |
 Accessibility Bonus |
Add descriptive alt-text on Twitter: “Cartoon-outlined builder Samm mid-grimace; caption says…” | Increases reach, plus alt-text counts toward engagement, nudging the algorithm. |
 Speed Tools |
• Remove.bg for instant transparent Samm cut-outs. • Kapwing / Canva for quick HUD overlays. • TinyPNG to keep file size < 2 MB for fast loading. |
Low-effort means more people actually post—exactly the spirit of the challenge. |
 Engagement Loop |
• Reply to your own tweet with a second frame (“Level-Up!”). • Quote-tweet other entries to start a mini-thread war. • Drop a GIF reaction in Discourse. |
More interactions = more algorithm love = more chances to win. |
