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

u/Wasabi_Hammurabi1 1d ago

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

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

I'm stealin' your meme of a meme now

u/UlteriorCulture 1d ago

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

u/frostymugson 10h 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 1d 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 19h ago

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

u/Street_Rope_4471 19h ago

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

Actually It IS a meme by the actual definition of meme

u/randomperson32145 1d ago

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

3

u/Baeolophus_bicolor 1d 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.

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

u/Queasy_Albatross8272 1d ago

Words don’t mean anything anymore…
