I, for one, welcome our meme overlords.

If this was 2014 you’d have broken the internet with this

I hereby propose the Lemmy Institute of Memetics where we will experiment with meme mutations and see which evolutions have the most mental stickiness and sharability.

Isn't that just what Lemmy shitposts is?

You know it would probably be best to base it in the USA and start it as a superPAC. Our campaign finance laws are so corrupt it could be a nearly tax-free endeavor!

Such dankness!

Memes don't have rules. Memes are not just silly pictures. It's whatever idea that gets transmitted and repeated. Doing a handshake when you meet someone is a meme.

Memes, the DNA of the soul.

And just like in life 99.9999% of the random mutations are absolute shit

Thank you for your service though

Points for accuracy! The meme is the doctor. The monster is the meme's creation. I'm not sure what this tells us about OP.

As it is the Fediverse I guess it was seamless as well?
