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.

- 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

Yes. Many people don't realize this but it's getting harder and harder to keep them off the Internet because within the last 12 months or so more and more TVs are able to connect to things like Amazon Sidewalk or carrier WiFi (WiFi built into your cable modem for example) in order to Phone Home. You may not have these things but many people have a neighbor who does!
There's ways to stop this but most people don't even know these paths exist and so they'll never do it.
There is solution that works: call EU legistative taxi
A few years ago, when people think about peer-to-peer internet, they'll think about providing internet to people who live without access any ISP. Fast forward to 2023, peer-to-peer finally saw wide deployment, but it's used for analytics and ads instead :/
These crazy invasive spyware networks like Amazon Sidewalk should definitely be illegal
