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.

This is like saying we should throw our litter on the floor because it keeps people employed to pick it up.
It's labour that doesn't need to exist in the first place because people can't be considerate of others.
You literally said the labor does have to exist
It's just who is doing the labor.
"labor that doesn't need to exist" feels like it's from a very privileged POV. what if those 30-40 mins here and there are the difference between me meeting the 29 hour a week threshold required to qualify for health or education benefits?
I'm commenting from a US biased perspective where you seem to be commenting from a European perspective based on your spelling. If that's the case, you already have your core needs met through your government, we do not in this flawed country.
