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

No, he didn't. Please, for your sake and ours, learn to search for facts yourself instead of asking strangers on the internet to do it for you.
It’s also easier to search for something someone did say, than to search for something they did not say.
I know how to search the Internet but believe or not if someone posts something which may or may not be real, either they can respond accordingly or someone else easily can, as you just proved.
Perhaps I was too harsh. My apologies. I'm just very worried about how people deal with information and truth recently.
I appreciate that. It is indeed a problem that people don't learn things for themselves, but in this case I wasn't planning to accept any response as gospel. It was more of a poorly communicated "did I miss something?"
Well, given that it was posted in Memes, and after what he said the other day, it's pretty easy to determine that it is parody. However, I do sympathize, as we are living in an age where most headlines appear to have come out of The Onion a mere decade ago, but are in fact the reality we face today.
Right. My question probably should have been "is this based on something he actually said or just a weird joke that I wouldn't get?"
