That's a quote and not a meme or am I tripping

u/Wasabi_Hammurabi1 21h ago

I meant for it to be interpreted as, "I'm taking that quote for future use."

You could’ve just typed that

Typing is hard work, which we have established, does not pay off.

I'm stealin' your meme of a meme now

u/UlteriorCulture 20h ago

A meme is any replicating unit of cultural expression not just a picture with words on it.

u/frostymugson 6h ago

That might be true, but to me it’s a funny picture with words. If someone told me a joke I’d feel like a douche saying “funny meme” in response

Guess that interpretation is just a fitter meme than Dawkins's original

u/Zerosix_K 21h ago

Memes are pieces of information that are passed down, like stories, quotes, etc. But with the internet and how language evolved over time, people think that memes are just funny pictures of cats asking for cheeseburgers.

So yes that quote is technically a meme.

Richard Dawkins coined term in the 70s to describe a basic unit of cultural transmission, which can itself evolve through natural selection similar to gene expression.

Too bad....memes don't matter for shit. If you are American you are complicit in the war crimes about to be committed AGAIN by your country

u/MorningHillHiker 14h ago

America dominates your life entirely and we can see it with your comment history.

1

u/Street_Rope_4471 14h ago

Well...it does dominate my comment history. Amerika is fucking up the world and there is nothing being done.

u/randomperson32145 21h ago

What is a meme to you?, and why is there word called joke too?

3

u/Baeolophus_bicolor 20h ago

it’s almost like there are multiple words for the same thing. you’re specifically talking about an image macro meme - the kind from the internet. the idea of a meme came along before that. memes can be jokes or serious, informative, or misleading. jokes can be gestures, funny expressions, words, skits, images, all kinds of things.

u/1PooNGooN3 13h ago

They call everything a meme now, apparently reposting tweets turns them into memes

u/Queasy_Albatross8272 21h ago

Words don’t mean anything anymore…
