1.) No, a meme is not anything that is shared or goes viral. Then anything would be a meme.

2.) Generally speaking, yes, but I wouldn’t necessarily make it a requirement for the community.

3.) If it’s just the headline, no.

4.) Yes, to me, a meme has always been an image + text. An image of text only is not a meme. Text only is not a meme. I would say images of other posts are okay, so long as something is added to it that makes it substantially more than the post itself (so, the post is a part of the meme, but the meme also involves something added by the memer).

5.) No, not yet. Healthy discussion is always good.

Ah. No, I don’t consider those memes.

I don’t consider 67 a meme in and of itself. I don’t know about these challenges you’re referring to.

To me, a meme requires an image and text. That image could be a gif or a still image, but it needs an image. I do not consider images of plain text to be memes—those are just posts posted in an unnecessarily data-fat way.

Eh?

Doesn’t really seem like anything has changed in 30+ years.

Trick #1 in the psychopath playbook: accuse your opponent of whatever bad thing you’re actually doing.

I am tired of these muhfuhin’ text-only shitposts on this muhfuhin’ shitposting forum!

“I personally do not care. Good day, sir.”

You should care about grammar and punctuation. They aid in communication and everyone wants to be understood clearly, no? Sorry if I came off too harsh. My last line was intended to be an expression of exasperation about how common poor grammar is in general, not specifically directed at you. Anyway, I hope I haven’t put you off learning. I know us grammar Nazis can be annoying, but we mean well.

I agree with you as well of the spirit of what the study in the article is trying to do, but I do object to the terminology they used, as it muddies the waters unnecessarily. A term like “underemployed” is much better than “functionally unemployed.”

FTFY.

Jesus, people, learn to write.

How is that justifying it?

Please, point out where I’m justifying it.

Oh, please, this level of evil is pretty commonplace in war in general and there have been much worse acts committed throughout history. I’m not defending it, obviously, but we hardly need new words to describe it.
