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.
- 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

MODERATORS
Are there really people that think incognito does anything but clear your session history and cookies?
You'd be surprised. Lemmy is more tech-literate than the average internet user
Yeah you're probably right. I saw someone the other day that thinks duckduckgo is a VPN
To be fair to that person, they do have a service that gets labeled as a VPN on Android.
Maybe, but I'm not very tech literate, and this seems pretty obvious.
The website that’s solution to computer problems is to switch to linux? We’re more tech literate than most people?
Yes, the average person doesn't know how to install Linux or what a distro is. That's a fact. If you can successfully switch to Linux you are BY FAR more tech literate than most. Doesn't mean you're smart though.
Apologies if my sarcasm wasn’t obvious, yeah a decent portion of people don’t know anything about their computer
I use it for exactly that to keep my porn sites off my search suggestions.
Don't do that...
Don't do what?
Don't use google chrome
I want 'em to watch

You'd be surprised. There are college students with no notion of files and directories/folders... even in computer engineering.
Speaking of incognito mode, many users, young or old, have no basic knowledge of how internet works (server, client, web browser...) and jumped straight into smartphones. Many can and will confuse the state of 'leaving no trace behind after' vs 'not being watched now'.
