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

I feel like everyone just makes this shit up
Yes that's most of why people say shit. Then you make up something badass and some other asshole steals it and suddenly its a cultural thing.
That's every quote.
Yes.
That... that is what creativity is.
Its not always... sensible, or ... broadly liked... but yeah, people things up... is creativity.
If you're quoting some old famous saying?
Somebody, at some point, said that for the first time in history.
I think you're missing my point. People love to give random "corrections" of things that may or may not be correct themselves. It seems like people just love to mindlessly parrot things.
