    Why don’t you like memes? Is it the format? The sense of humor? Keeping up with current trends? Saying you don’t like memes is like saying you don’t like jokes.

        So you don’t like anything new? Yea that’s weird, there are objectively beneficial new things like technological and medical advancements, social things like being accepting of gay people, etc…

        Memes have been around possibly longer than written language in various forms.

        The definition of “meme” is:

        A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.

        A lot of the memes on lemmy are shit, but still, they’ve been around.
