This is a meme ✔️

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 11 months ago

Literally by definition this is a great example of a meme

It being a slight variation of a previous meme

Can someone explain the schtick of this c/ or like how you "do" it?

I want to understand memes better but like are they just macros that reflect like an impulse in an ironic or comedic sense?

Like ur basically saying whatever saying or concept be like!_____

/c/ is just what comes before a community name in a url. You may recall /r/

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Ya I get that but what is the schtick of Memes (r or c)?

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Post anything for upvotes. Doesn't matter if it has anything to do with memes or not.

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are upvotes a meme lol

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

I can promise this community would think so and at the same time not care.

Renewable energy too!

Something shareable that aims to inspire laughs, discourse, or thought, I’d say. Really broad, nowadays.

Term’s been around since 1972 per Wiki.

Thanks, appreciate someone consolidating my understanding of it

Hey, is therea word for

memesis

or is it collapsed under

mimesis

? I'm curious about this and have actually posted an interrogation on this notion previously

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Memesis might be a new invention of yours :)

[–] cheese_greater@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

No way?!

[–] AngryishHumanoid@reddthat.com 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Don't be silly, dozens and dozens of people have now seen this meme. You wasted our time too.

[–] trivial_wannabe@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Oh good. I was worried that I had accidentally done something productive.

Also: your comment made me laugh out loud.

[–] Omega_Haxors@lemmy.ml 5 points 11 months ago

I hate the people who backseat on how Memes should be run, then go on to post some of the lowest quality shit on the platform.

[–] Kushia@lemmy.ml 4 points 11 months ago

I need several levels deeper for no particular reason.

[–] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

We must go deeper.

[–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ten minutes? Man you gotta get your workflow optimized better

[–] trivial_wannabe@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Fair point. In my defense I'm sick and made this on my phone while taking a bath.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

OK, I always wanted to try to make a meme, let's see how long it takes me..

oh man over 20 minutes. but in my defense I wasted time trying to do it on Gimp before I switched to a hacky approach. comment OP is right, I gotta optimize my workflow too.

[–] Tak@lemmy.ml 2 points 11 months ago

I hope you feel better soon

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works -3 points 11 months ago

Don't cut yourself on that edge.
