Way too high resolution and way too little compression... Also who actually crops images perfectly like that? Get a grip...
The plastic mug obviously symbolizes a cheap method of gathering stuff together and distributing it around. The plastic itself symbolizes materials which hurt the environment.
All of this is true because it rhymes.
I wrote a report on this in college. Anything can be a meme by definition. It's the act of sharing images, from one to another, that is what makes it a meme. Because it's memetic. The origin of meme.
Reciting newton's newton's principia mathematica could be considered a meme, as long as it's shared from one individual to the next.
This completely fucks up this painting because it is not a pipe it is an image of a pipe but it is a meme and one that makes me irrationally angry at that.
It's not a meme, it's an image of a meme!
This is the original, but the "my brother in christ" part was the n word.
Sooo not the original then?
I don't want to share an image with the n-word in it.
eh, this is the version that went viral
To be honest, I'm so sexual-relationsing old that I remember when the word meme actually meant something before it was appropriated and adapted for use to refer to the digital images we share electronically after adding text over them.
I too read the selfish gene back in the days. Not when it was new but before internet memes were a thing
Am I right or am I right?
That’s the pitcher I use to refill my humidifier! Does the meme represent the dichotomy between humidifier in winter and lemonade in summer?
New challenge: put the last text you wrote on the last picture you downloaded.
The nuance that makes this false is that the water will eventually get bored and seek another job.

The jug represents the simple pleasures of youth. Common to households across America, it would regularly be used to store a variety of sweetened beverages, from lemonade to iced tea to concentrated orange juice. The emptiness of the bottle signals the hollowness of nostalgia as we can only cling to the imagery even as we long for the sweetness within.
This meme reminds us that memes themselves are a throwback to a bygone day. In analyzing the symbolism, we seek to recreate the moment of blissful innocence. But we are bound by the chains of memory, able only to see but never touch the essence of the thing before us.
The text mostly just obstructs the image. You can ignore it.

I get it, the pitcher represents the dichotomy of good and evil!
🔥🔥🔥
I do not call them "memes" anymore, I just say "look at this image" or "look this video"
But therin lies the definition of meme! Since you're sharing something in a memetic pattern, you've fundamentally made the image or video a meme! :)
If some image macros are meme.
And some meme are image macros.
Does that mean all image macros are meme?
Debate.
The term 'image macro' has largely fallen out of common parlance. It is a loss of distinction, but not necessarily a loss of functional speech. When people are talking about memes in the Dawkins sense, they know they aren't talking about image macros, and when people talk about memes in the sense of internet comedy, they don't get confused. The only confusion that arises is when someone is trying to explain Dawkins memes and has to dance around the fact that the term has been hijacked by the culture.
