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
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

Redundant acronym syndrome bothers me too. It irks me that the wikipedia page for it is "RAS Syndrome" which in itself is echoing the issue it's describing. That shit has to be intentional.
It's like how hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia is the fear of long words. That's some fucked up shit. Even it's more official word "sesquipedalophobia" is still a bit long for anyone who experiences that fear.
I'm pretty sure it is, but not strictly by Wikipedia. It credits some 2001 column for coming up with it.
