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
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

If you turn it off, it will cool down and seize.
I just take it appart... clean the electrical contacts and oil the motor spindel with 3 and 1 oil. I have yet to figure out which capacitors that will work with these box fans when they overload and die. If you catch it before they poop out you can keep em going forever. Like a marine cleans their rifle I clean my fans. I can do it in like 10 minutes. Zip zip blam fan

Please, if you would, we dig that.
My new home!
Both a welcoming invitation and savage burn at the same time. Love that community.
If you format the link with an exclamation point community @ instance it creates an instance agnostic link.
Like this: !dull_mens_club@lemmy.world
EDIT: NGL I dig that community and have been lurking for awhile there.
Do you know how to do a comment then? I know the devs know how to make it so it will do this automatically, not sure why this hasn't been done or maybe there's clients that do this?
Doing a comment is a little strange due to how instances log those.
Here's a link to a tool for it.
And a test link to the comment I initially replied to using the tool
Very interesting, thanks. It still won't let me vote on your test link, but I might have did the crosslink wrong.
When you open the crosslink you've got to enter your instance so that it sources the comment on your instance. Good news is that you can change the instance if you set the wrong one pretty easily.
Oh! I recently pulled apart my dusty, cat-hair-sprouting desk fan and hosed it down in the shower. I could have posted it there.
The thing is about five years old, it replaced one that was MUCH older. I didn't expect it to last this long. I hate the switch on it though. It's a rotating wheel switch that is too stiff. It's not big enough to get a hold of so I need two hands to turn it on and off.
Can confirm. My office fan needs me to kickstart it with a pen before it rattles to life
