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

Tis but a meme.
This changes nothing. I could write a post and say it's "but a post". Write a book and say it's "but a book". Make a film and say "tis but a film". In fact, a meme is the perfect hiding place for any ideology. It is the carrier pigeon of thought. That is, in short, the purpose of memes.
and they've weaponized memes and 'jokes' and 'it's just a gag' to spread fascism and misogyny. so it's not just a meme or a joke, it's a subtle attempt to move the window of people accepting those shitty things. they think they're clever.
Precisely.
The irony
Of?
The things you mentioned carry significantly more weight.
Honey, posts, books, and films are filled to the brim with memes. They are meme delivery vehicles. They exist only to spread memes.
Bruh literally doesn't know what a meme is
tis a poorly crafted shite meme.
Take it up with my dealer
nah, just gonna block you so I don't see more of your shitposts.
Fair enough.
