But also, when did every single PNG on the internet become a "meme"? Feels like I've been seeing this a lot, lately.
Related to the "meme" subject, it irks when a post is just "picture of a sign, possibly being held by someone" or "something written on a piece of paper then photographed". Just post the fucking text.
A meme is just a thought that can be transferred and propagate within a population. It's the thought-equivalent of a gene.
Probably one of the only useful things that Richard Dawkins contributed to society.
mirshafie@europe.pub Yes, and... is this propagating anywhere in any meaningful way?
i think a lot about the usage of "memes" in MGR:Revengence which seems purely comedic in the current vernacular but if you try to remember the original definition it starts to just make sense instead.

I can't believe that I haven't seen the "We are all pawns controlled by something greater" meme before.
