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
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

This is my take.
My boyfriend isn't terminally online so I often tell him things like this, in an impartial way.
"The internet is mad because some women have been saying they would rather be alone in a forest with a bear than with a strange man."
Him: "Why is this a question? People are always the objectively worse answer."
"Well... some people are pointing out that the type of bear is important-"
Him: "I would rather risk being mauled by a bear than have to deal with a stranger. Why is this controversial? I thought people on the internet hated people?"
