That's basically straight from Richard Dawkins, who literally invented the term like 50 years ago.
A meme is to ~~information~~ ideas what a gene is to genetic information.
Edit: my word choice was bugging me.
50 years ago the internet wasn't even a thing. Also that dude is yet another old guy.
It is lazy to just post a screenshot. At least convert it into a actual meme. There are plenty of templates that would work.
What if I told you that your post isn't a meme, that memes are supposed to have banner text or footer text. Just having a picture with text on isn't a meme, so your post doesn't belong in [email protected]?
Aren’t we using that old guy’s term?
See where you’re coming from, this is easy to defend:
Temba, his arms wide.
So you're just a troll, cool.
