What is a 'meme'?

Text; UN: hopefulfuture

[despairing_hope]

The destruction of the world as we know it.

[wangji]

Sarcasm?

[despairing_hope]

Not at all.

Though, I suppose at the same time it’s not a genuine answer either.

But, a meme can influence things. They’re like a virus, spread and contaminate.

[wangji]

Clarify.

[despairing_hope]

Well, in my world, you could say it was destroyed through the power of despair turned into a meme.

[devilbreak]

Popular(ish) jokes that make people laugh, I guess.

Usually images are involved. The text can be changed but the feeling and picture is generally the same.

Something toddlers say when they want something?

I do not understand.

[wangji]

What differentiates a joke from a meme?

[wangji]

Are you asking me?

[wangji]

Why is the masked man slapping the other?

[wangji]

I do not understand.

[anotheroldfashioned]

because Robin is being too detailed.

It's about making a point. Memeing is very simple.

[He just learned this today, but he's feeling really fucking cocky today and so.]

It's an image you make a connection with.

I'm sorry, he is not.

[noenvy]

Ok, maybe enough

[noenvy]

They do taste good though.

[devilbreak]

A meme can be quickly and easily shared, maybe?
A joke usually has to be told in person and involves some participation from the audience, right?
Memes don't need all that. 🤔

[whosaysdajare]

It's a meme about not getting memes 😄🤚

Cw: suicide, violence, murder

[despairing_hope]

It's alright, I'm not really sure where to even begin. Basically, there was a girl, and she was full of despair. She wanted everyone around her to feel despair, so she spread it like a disease. Everyone started catching it, and eventually people started commiting suicide or killing each other.

She made our schools student council play a killing game, recorded it, and spread the video and turned that into a meme.

[wangji]

Memes are deadly?

[wangji]

So... a humorous drawing?

[wangji]

So... a humorous drawing?

[wangji]

I did not say they are irrelevant.

[wangji]

Why?

[noenvy]

Why do they taste good? I don't know, maybe because they're lean? Or, because they eat things that make them that way?

Now that I think about it, have you ever had roasted rabbit before?

[despairing_hope]

The way they can spread and plant an idea are.

[anotheroldfashioned]

From what I'm gathering.

[devilbreak]

Yes, kind of? A humorous drawing that gets shared a lot and can be used in a lot of ways.
Sometimes they can just be images that express a very specific emotion that other people find so relatable that no discussion needs to be had about the meaning...


This is getting so much more complicated ...

[wangji]

I understand.

[wangji]

I understand.

[wangji]

Many thanks for the detailed answer.

[wangji]

Why memes?

[noenvy]

That one guy was threatening to terrorize people with them and he sent me to a place that had them and they were funny. I thought it would be fun to terrorize too! It's so harmless.

[devilbreak]

Hopefully I'm leaving you with more answers than questions..
Good luck out there, my dude.

[despairing_hope]

It's not too difficult of a concept, it's just a bit esoteric I guess.

[wangji]

Harmless... terrorizing?

(( Are they harmless or terrible, Wei Ying???? ))

[noenvy]

[They are harmless and annoying?]

I think they just mean to bother people with stuff that doesn’t actually hurt you.

...

Like teasing and switching out books and playing pranks.

[wangji]

Ridiculous.

[noenvy]

I know you you dont hate it as much as you make it sound.

[wangji]

(( Why do you know him so well? ))

[noenvy]

[Because after many years of ups and downs and hurt feelings they finally found the same page to be on.]

[wangji]

They are cute.

[noenvy]

Some of them at least
