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

Dollar tree sucks so much has a whole bunch of stuff for 1.25 you can get at your local grocery store for either 99 or a straight buck.
This is how all of these stores make margin. Some higher priced items are marked down, and people come in regularly to buy them because they're cheaper than everywhere else. All of the lower priced items are marked up.
Or they sell you a smaller quantity for the amount desired, you pay more / item and receive less but pay less overall for the “item”
Like a smaller box of laundry detergent or a smaller-than-normal-sized snickers.
Not always a bad thing tbh. If you want a big variety of candy for the movie theater later (with permission to bring it inside definitely totally 100%), it's way better than any store at getting you a wide selection.
Sometimes I'm willing to pay more per oz if it means getting a bigger variety, over a better price per oz of just one brand.
