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.

- 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

So you only do good things if people thank you?
No? I just expect acknowledgement. Just a little head nod or basically any sound
I'm not a doorman. I'm holding the door so you feel like you're in a slightly friendlier world, I didn't have to do this. I don't expect others to do it for me, but my day gets a little better when they do.
These little interactions are how a society feels friendly. It's the fabric of civilization
When you walk through like you're entitled to have doors held for you, then fuck you. You're snubbing someone trying to make the world a slightly friendlier place
Oh I agree about what should happen, but your argument is that if people don't ack you then you'll stop doing it.
Personally I find if the person behind me isn't even looking up to see where they're going then I just let the door close. I'm not shutting it in their face, I'm just treating them the way they like to be treated. But that's different from being petty and undoing the kindness -- ie slamming it in their face.
