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

Oof acknowledges someone’s feelings, and bruh expresses empathy. These sentiments are important and often overlooked. You don’t have to always launch into your own story. Simply acknowledging and empathizing is a powerful way to build social bonds.
Also brevity is the soul of wit, so oof and bruh might qualify as the greatest things anyone has ever said in history.
nice to see a reasonable take on this
Bruh
right??
No doubt
Oof
Yes, not every talk is a conversation! Maybe I just want to vent and not to hear.
In an in person conversation, that's definitely true. Not so much online though.
Does bruh express empathy? I've always read bruh as "bruh what are you doing" in a lot of contexts. But I can't really say it's something I use much.
Context is key. It can express empathy, or disappointment, or awe.
Context is always key.
I think it depends on how you pronounce it and context. I'm used to hearing a shorter bruh with a look attached to it as a question for "what are you doing?" vs a longer bruh like "bruuuuuuh" as empathizing like "that's rough".
