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.

- 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

Hot take.
Memes are common things that have existed as long as humans have.
Historians of the future will not only understand our memes easily, but because they're (hopefully) more advanced future humans with better technology and culture they'll be sharing memes that put ours to shame.
They're not going to be confused.
They're going to cringe.
I think the ones that don’t mean anything, but became memes simply because they’re absurd, will trip them up at first. I’ve had to explain that there’s absolutely no hidden meaning behind Woman Yelling at a Cat. It’s just a funny juxtaposition of pictures.
Ok, then please explain this joke to us: "A dog walked into a tavern and said, "I can't see a thing. I'll open this one.""
