This is a meme ✔️

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Literally by definition this is a great example of a meme

It being a slight variation of a previous meme

Can someone explain the schtick of this c/ or like how you "do" it?

I want to understand memes better but like are they just macros that reflect like an impulse in an ironic or comedic sense?

Like ur basically saying whatever saying or concept be like!_____

/c/ is just what comes before a community name in a url. You may recall /r/

Ya I get that but what is the schtick of Memes (r or c)?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Post anything for upvotes. Doesn't matter if it has anything to do with memes or not.

Renewable energy too!

Something shareable that aims to inspire laughs, discourse, or thought, I’d say. Really broad, nowadays.

Term’s been around since 1972 per Wiki.

memesis

mimesis

? I'm curious about this and have actually posted an interrogation on this notion previously

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Memesis might be a new invention of yours :)

[–] cheese_greater 1 points 1 year ago

No way?!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't be silly, dozens and dozens of people have now seen this meme. You wasted our time too.

[–] trivial_wannabe 8 points 1 year ago

Oh good. I was worried that I had accidentally done something productive.

Also: your comment made me laugh out loud.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I need several levels deeper for no particular reason.

[–] Custoslibera 4 points 1 year ago

We must go deeper.

Ten minutes? Man you gotta get your workflow optimized better

[–] trivial_wannabe 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fair point. In my defense I'm sick and made this on my phone while taking a bath.

[–] Rolando 6 points 1 year ago

OK, I always wanted to try to make a meme, let's see how long it takes me..

oh man over 20 minutes. but in my defense I wasted time trying to do it on Gimp before I switched to a hacky approach. comment OP is right, I gotta optimize my workflow too.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I hope you feel better soon

Don't cut yourself on that edge.
