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.

True, but this is a comedy based community. If the meme makes people laugh then I did my job. Hell, if you think this is bad, you should see the version I decided to tone down:

This is better than the OG post

Trust me, it would have been much easier to just repost this, but I guarantee you people would have complained. I toned down the meme and they're still taking it super seriously.

Well you see your post is really problematic and if you don't understand it that says a lot about you. Let's unpack this

How dare you try to make me laugh without being factually correct

I compared two pictures. I guess I gotta watch that in the future, might upset someone 😉

I don't mean you, I mean other comments are complaining that you shouldn't leave a condom in your wallet. If that get's people upset then I can only imagine the response to the ramen packet condom lol.

Actually, I've posted darker memes here and they tend not to do well. They get downvoted and picked apart in the comments.

Well, they say if you post something with a slight error in your post or something that you know a bunch of people would correct, it will get more engagement. This isn't a Lemmy trend, but an internet trend.

We know ...we should get out more!

It's still not gonna happen, OK?

The OG post made me curious about what's in the comments. This one made me laugh.
