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.

- 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

Fun factoid of the day: The Nintendo 2DS only actually has one screen. Go ahead, open one up, you'll see...
fun followup of the day: a "factoid" is something that isn't true, but is presented as being true. go ahead, look it up!
Interesting. I might research that on the toilet tonight, or just drop the word factoid from my vocabulary.
Regardless, clowns still have to go to college, while politicians do not. Fun fact of the day!
i wrote it on the toilet before bed, so that seems apt.
Funner follow-up: this definition is correct and true to the original usage of “factoid”, however, the alternative definition meaning “a small or minor fact” has been used often enough that it’s generally accepted, and appears in several dictionaries. Ain’t English grand!?

inflammable means flammable?! what a country...
My favorite is irregardless, having an identical meaning to “regardless”, just because linguistics nerds get so tilted by it.
