You can't gatekeep what a meme is/isn't.
Yes I can
I thought a screenshot worked out fine
Lol, among everything that is happening in the world, that bothers you.
It does and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't
X is not a meme is not a meme.
Gatekeeping meme, cool
Most of the memes come from communities where the typical user is way too comfortable with things like photoshop, so they can crank out a gag before it suddenly seems like a waste of time. Even the "slapped together" looking stuff takes longer than you think. This skill set - funny but also has casual graphic design skills - is narrow enough that even their throwaway jokes tend to get passed around and around and around for years.
This community is more, uh, engineering focused, so they're doing pretty good to find reasonably funny people to screenshot. For what it's worth, I agree with you, but the internet always has some tiresome gotcha post to shut you down with, lest you set any boundaries for yourself, so everyone's stuck with whatever people feel like calling a meme.
but some has achieved meme status. you know the "Am i pregnat?" ones for example, and you can customize it as you need to fit your story or presenetation or whatever
shut up, you jerk
I see Possibly Linux alot on ye ol Lemmy, sad to see they don't like memes 😕😔😒😞
The memes can be pretty cringe on here. Same with that lemmyshitpost community, I had to block that one because it was so bad.
Or, you could post “not cringe” memes yourself to those communities.
Cool meme!
Now this is a good meme.
I wouldn't go that far
