Post memes here.
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
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

Is any microblog post automatically a meme?
What are you, meme ICE?
They prefer m'ICE
don't make us meme you mofo!
dude come on, Freud's bullshit is so ingrained in our culture, riffing of it is a meme
they communicated something about our collective knowledge in a picture, it's funny too
That's a good reply!
Yeah,
So: True, a meme does not need to be a recaptioned image that alters it meaning.
In any case that up there a nice text snippet, yeah :)
Got a real m'eme hot off the presses for you!
That was kinda cool! Thanks :)
If you believe hard enough.
At least this one tried to make a joke. I've seen a lot of dead serious posts in meme comms, especially ones like "microblog memes", even some in comms with "shitpost" in the name.
