In all honesty, I wouldn't. Because screenshotted or not, NFTs are fucking useless.

The joke wouldn't be worth the few kB of disk space imho

I still got my illicit trump trading card nfts saved somewhere. Those are pretty funny

[–] Emerald@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago

I actually have downloaded some nfts as jpeg because its the highest quality I could find of an artwork I liked

[–] almost1337@lemm.ee 25 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Why screenshot when I can just right click and save?

[–] my_hat_stinks@programming.dev 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Because that would be the same quality. This is the internet, if an image is still recognisable after being shared five times you're doing something wrong.

I want my ifunny logo

Yeah OP seems to imply there's some kind of cyptographic security with NFTs. Nope! It's literally just a URL on the blockchain pointing to a regular image on a regular server.

[–] cadekat@pawb.social 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Let me preface this by saying I don't see the value of 99% of NFTs either, but it is technically possible to make one that stores the image on the blockchain or on IPFS. Most don't, obviously, but it is possible.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

For like thousands of dollars you could store a small sized image on the blockchain itself. Of course that's not practical

Not even because I value or want it, just because it will ruffles the NFT owner's jimmies.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

it will ruffles the NFT owner’s jimmies.

Will it? I'm sure anyone actually creating an NFT will know how the technology works

I went to a museum of modern art and they had an NFT gallery of tv screens playing looping NFT GIFs. I took a Live Photo.

[–] Emerald@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 11 months ago

I mean... I would hope not. Artists work hard to make NFTs. You should respect that by downloading the image in full resolution and quality rather then screenshotting it.

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

What if I take a screenshot and make an NFT out of it?

[–] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 3 points 11 months ago

Infinite money glitch (if you can find enough idiots to buy them)

[–] Flyswat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Ceci n'est pas un NFT

[–] ClemaX@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You wouldn't download a car‽

[–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago

Get me a 3d printer big enough....

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

90s classic

it crowd

oh god. im old.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

That's not the source. . However it was still the 2000s.

[–] clark@midwest.social 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What's the name of this video again? I remember having to watch it before every movie on a scrappy little DVD-player laptop.

[–] Bougie_Birdie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 11 months ago

This is a mutation of an anti-piracy campaign. The text usually reads "You wouldn't steal a car" an then asks why you would download a movie.

I would totally download a car though.
