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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

I have no clue what FUD stands for. But as I'm too lazy to look it up, I have to assume it's something satanic.
Stands for "fear, uncertainty and doubt". It's actually a very relevant term. In a lot of contexts. It's when people influence you to either fear, have uncertainty about, or doubt something. Sometimes this happens without any intent, for example if you're unsure about some new situation or thing, you tend to first view it more negatively because you have some fear or doubts about it (which might not be warranted). But sometimes, it can have malicious intent (e.g. right-wing extremists spreading FUD about human subgroups they don't like. Usually the first step before more aggressive behavior happens).
Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. FUD.
I have no idea, second time I've seen of today, the other was in a Plex comment section
