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

Think of a box with 4 particles a, b, c and d. If every particle is on the left side of the box, then there is only 1 way to divide them up. [(a, b, c, d), ()]
If there are 2 particles on the left side of the box and 2 particles on the right side of the box, then there are 6 ways to divide them up:
[(a, b), (c, d)]
[(a, c), (b, d)]
[(a, d), (b, c)]
[(b, c), (a, d)]
[(b, d), (a, c)]
[(c, d), (a, b)]
In total you've got 16 possible arrangements, the 2-2 state has the "highest" entropy because you're more likely to end up with the one that takes up 6/16 arrangements.
