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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Do lemmings actually use google or bing? Perhaps the meme could be updated with more relevant search engines
I still use DuckDuckGo.
... which uses Bing.
I use Bing with extra steps
... which is why they said that in response to that question.
I use DuckDuckGo which is Bing's results more or less.
Ive used a bunch of alternative search engines and they are all just kind of mediocre. Qwant is so far the best alternative ive found that works decent.
Have you tried Kagi?
Probably one of the few I haven't tried, dont really have the money to pay for my search engine. Probably will at some point.
They have a free trial account that lets you do 100 searches. It's worth trying out at least.
No money no honey.
I use lemmy.
I use bing.
Pretty much just bing. Works for me. And I grew to dislike google.
If you use lemmy that's inevitablem
I use lemmy.
I use google.
Occasionally I use bing when I want to pirate, or find porn.
I can't think of any other search engines. Google killed them all.
I miss Ask Jeeves.
I use Kagi which is pretty sweet
Is that the one you have to pay for, or is that the one you have to self host?
Because if it's either of those, hard pass.
wdym the one you have to selfhost, you mean SearXNG, you dont have to selfhost that there are hundreds of public instances
The former.
At least use duck duck go. Even if only for the lack of Google summaries and cards.
That's just Bing with extra steps.
Bing but anonymised and affiliate link revenue doesn’t go to Epstein Island Bill Gates.
But hopefully without the tracking nonsense Microsoft will put into bing….
