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.

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

I've never had anything related to WH40K.
I've never played a game in the WH40K universe.
I have watched a 30 hour video series on The God Emperor.
Other 8-20 hour videos explaining the basic lore on each faction.
And two video series that are probably 50+ hours, about the history of the WH40K universe overall.
And apparently, I have still only scratched the surface.
Do I have any intention of playing WH40K games or buying anything related to it?
Nope, none what so ever.
Am I likely to watch any more content related to WH40K?
Yes, in fact, I have about 500 hours worth of videos in a playlist to watch later.
Hey man identity theft isn't cool. Imma need you to stop being me
40k lore is awesome because it's completely ridiculous in so many ways, but at the same time completely realistic in many other ways.
There's so much for WH40K!
I tried to dip my toe into it, but got overwhelmed about where to start.
One reason I avoid WH40K is I'm scared I'll fall into a black hole of fandom and never be seen again.
Consume the biomass; become the biomass
Blood for the blood god! Skulls for the skull throne!
FOR THE EMPOREEEEEEEEEER
That would be me. Give me a month of it, and I'll be up at one of those game shops painting minis every weekend.
That sounds nice though. Expensive but nice.
Share??? I've also got no interest in playing but want to explore the lore :D
Not the person you asked the question but my recomendation for 40K lore is Luetin09 on YouTube.
There's a soothing quality to his voice when narrating the horrors of the grim future that is very pleasant to hear.
I really fucking hope Henry Cavill gets to make the WH40K series and the right way.
Any specific recommendations? I've played a few video games, but would love to explore a bit deeper
Start with Bricky's "Every faction explained" video and then check out Luetin09's channel for more in-depth stuff.
