Obviously, this is a placeholder. I don't want to post a dick pic, I just want to kick off a discussion after seeing again someone say "everything is a meme". Is a dick pic a meme?
Ceci n'est pas une peen.

MODERATORS
It's only a meme if it continues to be shared. So if the person you send a dick pic to sends it to all their friends to laugh at, your peen is a meme.
If I share a news article, does it become a meme? Should I post news articles here?
It's only a meme if it's funny
Is everything funny a meme? And why does it have to be funny?
Edit: also, humor is subjective. Are some things just a meme to you but not to me, and other things vice versa? Who judges what is funny?
I don't even know what meme means anymore
You sure want to die on this hill.
I just want to fathom the borders here. If everything is a meme, why are we not posting news, games, tutorials, etc in this comm?
