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

There is something fundamentally wrong with having to prove I'm human. Especially to a machine.
On its surface, it's a good idea. Website hosts don't want to be inundated with fake traffic and fake data inserted by bots.
But it's entirely unnecessary when your local library or doctor's office is using captcha just for you to fill out a form, it's a bit excessive because it's highly unlikely any type of botnet would be targeting sign up fields on their sites. The attackers wouldn't get anything out of it.
Eh, not that unlikely.
The bots just scan everything they can.
For example, I've seen a guy do some testing with SSH server on default port (22). On average, there was constant 10Mbps of traffic just from the login attempts.
I can imagine it to be similar with websites.
