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

You’re whole “not a sport” argument is kind of messed up by the fact it’s an Olympic sport, soooo idk
So painting is a sport?

I’d argue no, not really. It’s also not in the Olympics.
We get it, you don’t like guns, but drip your gate keepy bullshit
But it was, therefore it was a sport at some point (by your own logic) which I guess would also mean that if shooting was to be removed from the Olympic events then it wouldn't be a sport anymore (again, extrapolating from what you just said regarding painting), but does that mean that to be a sport something needs to be part of the Olympics or we can evaluate each discipline for what they are, i.e. some competitions present at the Olympics just aren't sports (contrary to what you seem to pretend) and that's been the case for a very long time.
This is such a weird hill to die on.
