The only way to stay on top of the new shit is to heavily use tiktok. As soon as tiktok became the main thing I completely fell off the meme culture since I won't use tiktok

Post memes here.
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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Embrace getting old and intentionally using out of date slang incorrectly. It's totally on fleek.
Agreed, and same here! Have to assume I’m not missing out on much lol
Apparently Josh Hutcherson posing is a meme and I was confused by my zoomer buddy sending me random gifs of him.
Sometimes it's best to wait a while to see if the fad can survive wider culture. Remember:
- fidget spinners,
- what does the fox say
- ice bucket challenge
- flossing,
- harlem shake,
- planking,
- what colour is the dress?
- pwned
Neither does anyone else.
Pwned is eternal though
Does it still get used?
In the cyber security field yes
I CAN DANCE ALL DAY!
Dota 2, babyyyy.
I remember all of those except planking, unless you mean the exercise.
Yeah it's like that but dumber.
Heh, and of course there's a Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planking_(fad)
Oh, huh, I've seen that done at my high school, just didn't remember the name. Guy was balancing off the edge of a couch in one of those "time is frozen" videos.
Pepperidge Farm remembers
I remember the dress. Mostly because it's related to a recent attempted murder. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/jul/14/man-mother-in-law-blue-black-dress-viral-charged-trying-to-kill-wife
This is bananas.
Also why did they focus the story on the son-in-law that way, instead of talking about the murder victim? The murder victim whose mother owned that dress? If you're going to force that connection, the verbiage would be much easier to deal with talking about the victim, her mother, and her husband the alleged murderer.
I just had a student say “I don’t think anyone actually likes skibidi toilet, but some people just keep saying it!”
I just gave a slow nod.
We're all just reaping what we've sown throughout the early days of the internets.
I've reached the age where I just wait to see if they go away.
This is called wisdom.
Skibbidibbidip yom badda dup?
tfw you get caught flipping a grunt
Like in halo?
that would make me 23 skidoo
@The_Picard_Maneuver I feel like I keep waking up to new mysterious acronyms that are suddenly widely used. I had a field day trying to figure out what FWIW meant once it showed up.
isn't "FWIW" like decades old though, grampa?
I got lost about FYTY changes of lingo ago.
First of all skibidi toilet is amazing art.
You're right, I read the headline too fast. Updated my comment.
