A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

It’s how they are cooked that’s the issue.
There’s a generation gap here in “how they are cooked”. Olds tend to think u mean the potatoes & youths tend to think u mean the people. (I just made that up btw but it feels true)
Guess I’m old at 35.
Well as long as your feelings tell you it's true then it must be. Wait a minute. You're part of the Trump administration aren't you!?
I learned long ago to just say stuff on the internet, but no, not for money or political intrigue but simply love of the pixel
Right, boiled and baked potatoes are great foods for weight loss.
You can even have potato salad, a great way to eat your veggies!
Well, them being largely starch/carbs isn't helping either.
Potatoes are an odd duck in the carb world.
I've read some research about how they don't metabolize the way you'd think for being the carb they are.
If I can find it I'll drop a link, it's been a few years since I read it.
Even converting them to raw calories, potatoes are pretty great. A whole-ass baked potato (without toppings) is less than a lot of kinds of normal candy bars, and way, way more filling. The trick is to not drown it in butter, cheese, and sour cream if you want a healthy meal.
