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

"Dad, America is bombing Iran."
"It's because of your god damn phone, I tell ya."
In a very real sense cell phones and the way they are used to produce / distribute propaganda and misinformation are directly related to America bombing Iran.
In the same way a pencil and paper are responsible for the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, yes.
But I don't blame a device for that. Same as I don't blame AI for AI. I blame evil megacorps and the corrupt politicians who let them do whatever they want.
TIL that Boomers do not watch Fox News, but actually bother to read something on a tiny screen with teensy font size.
It's a good thing that Boomers don't vote either!
(Okay, but yeah cell phones helped, especially among the youths)
I'm not sure if you're aware, but two things can be true at the same time
At least I keep my signal chats private Dad!
