  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

A meme is a self replicating idea. I think this is a meme.

There are memes, and then there are memes. Two different words. What you're describing is not the commonly thought of word when someone goes on the internet looking for memes.

I could say, "Suck my dick, motherfucker", and that'd be a meme.

Context. A lot of word have more than one meaning.
