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.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
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

Presumably because they're often included in things you're meant to consume. Someone who has never encountered them may think they're part of the product. It's obvious to all of us, because we've experienced them all our lives, but that won't be true for everyone.
Such as instant noodle packs. There's 1-3 similar packs with spices and sauce you're supposed to open and pour on the noodles, but this pack is not meant to be eaten
I get these things in boxes of steel fasteners for the welding press I operate in a factory.
They aren't making them specifically for food. They make one type that anyone who needs it buys. It needs the message for when it's used with food, but that doesn't mean it's only ever used with food.
They probably just cargo culted the text.
Most probably, the regulatory authorities did too.
You never get small snack packets with your steel fasteners?
