Post memes here.
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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

A bit besides the point, but I have been thinking about this.
I currently use duckduckgo. However I have two problems:
Google also has the first issue (though not nearly as much), and so do all its wrappers.
The only search engine that made me feel more or less like I was getting decent results was kagi (especially with the fact that I could block and report AI slop and block sites that I don't like), but that's just too expensive for me normally.
What do ya'll do for search?
I use searXNG
One of the key selling points of the AI search results is that they bypass the problem of wading through SEO slop. Though I’m sure that is just a matter of time.
Does using uBlock Origin help?
Or maybe https://lite.duckduckgo.com/lite/?q=%25s ?
Or https://html.duckduckgo.com/html/?q=%25s
I’ve just started blocking SEO slop while using ddg on my main computer. Makes my life easier if it’s just DigitalOcean blogs rather than geeksforgeeks or linuxvox. The latter being full-on ai slop. At least DO/Vultr/whatever actually bothers with content quality because it’s their PaaS.
Damn, this comment made me discover ublacklist. I am definitely going to start using it!
I run an uncensored gemm4 or qwen3. 6, funny thing you can tell them to giva ya result like google search but their is no publicity. Even google gemma4 is relatively helpful to do srarch. And since search are mostly llm now, no change.
Yea, I tried duck duck. I always have to grab Google to get the results i need. I suppose if I was not a power user and in IT that I could take more time to look for results it would work. But for now Google is still king.
I've honestly been using Claude or chatgpt for it and specifically asking for sources. But as they get more desperate for money they're going to start to have paid sponsorships...

DuckDuckGo is just a frontend to various Microsoft products.
(Here for suggestions. I've been feeling the same about DDG and Kagi)
