A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I've quite solidly taken to the phrase "Just Web search it" and gently replying "yes, I'll Web search it" when prompted to "google it".
I like to say google and use DDG, I want them to lose their trademark
I don't exactly trust DDG after I read about the founder. Have you tried Startpage?
Startpage is majority owned by an ad company
Startpage is the business, can confirm. Only default on FF on my work computer though, boo to Safari (and the dumb add on that doesn't actually add it).
Kagi is good too.
What did you read about the founder?
I like using Google as a term for search to annoy Google.
So I'll tell someone to use DDG to Google it
Or Google something on youtube
Or Google something on Facebook
Genericide is a power held by the people, and we should use it more often.
