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

You could just not check your phone immediately, it will still be there later.
Maybe dude works from home.
I gotta check my phone pretty Sharp during working times, even if I'm not working, in case I'm needed
Watching TV with your wife while working from home seems ... ok fair point.
Especially when you're "on call"
Or just works in IT. I'm technically on call 24/7 (if there's a security breach)
Not for me.
I get paid for 8 hours per week, at a rate thats roughly equivalent to the national average wage, to be available for eight hours on three different days.
I almost never actually do eight hours of actual work, so I feel like I'm okay with this deal. I turn off the phone evenings and weekends, I'm not the only one who can help with stuff most of the time.
I do get that a lot of stuff about being on call is abusive and exploitive, but most of the world is not the US.
Sure, but it was not like they were doing anything important that needed their attention. It is fine to reply immediately, your conversation partners will thank you for it.
