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

We could, but why should we? I can easily switch between grams, kilograms and tonnes. Hell I can tell you that 1 litre of water weighs 1 kilogram. I am not going to deal with gallons per square inch of pounds
Pound force or Pound mass?
Pounding your mom's mass with incredible force^/s^

Sterling? Not since the 90s
Well you know, the full saying is "a pint's a pound the world around, except the UK where it's several quid, and really mostly in the US, Liberia, and Myanmar"
Depends on the flesh you're rending - the original conversion was from whales but the popularised version is with bacon rended over camp fires; it's been this way since 2006AD so it's a pretty well established system. Semper fi, Imperialism.
Reply to wrong post? Pint is 1/8th of gallon and gallon came from old Norman French with latin roots.
