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 are people learning Latin in case it comes back. COBOL isn't that much older
too be fair I studied Latin at school 40 years ago so this tracks
We found a COBOL programmer in the wild!
I’d ask you to retire and finally give a young person a chance, but none of them want to wait for floppy drives to load.
I work with COBOL programmers who came to Australia as adult refugees from an American war in South East Asia
Excuse my ignorance but is COBOL still spoken there? Sometimes language islands survive you wouldn't expect
I met a young man intent on learning, not as a first language, but he had hopes of becoming fluent
My past job was as a translator between business (in their "requirements" and "feature" languages) to COBOL programmers in something like careful unambiguous English (of which most have a reasonable understanding)
