Not funny.
Not a meme.
Can we, without relentlessly criticizing, let people have their un-funny, non-memes and screenshots and whatever little harmless things in which they've managed to find a tiny shriveled flower of joy?
FINE.
What are the essential criteria of a meme in your view?
I would say a Twitter post isn't one. At least scribble on an image of some.kind.
Okay, I've edited it so we should all be happy now
👍
Whew! All clear, it's a meme. Pack it up, people.👮♂️👮♀️
IMHO an idea that spreads person to person, not just PSAs that are unlikely to be shared further.
So the avocado face on the bottom right of this image IS a meme. And if this Tweet turns into a copypasta, then it's a meme.
I've seen this particular tweet like a dozen times now, so it's definitely spread far and wide. Some people only think of image macros as memes, but yes the broader definition I've seen is essentially a viral concept.
You're 100% right. But I've seen comics and tweets do well here, so this post isn't going against the norm
Yep. Came for the memes. Unsubscribed for the other shit.
If there was some other place to post that would get the same traction I'd gladly put it there. But its not really that big of a deal at the end of the day
