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.

actually a really good idea if you live alone with pets…
like, if i get hit by a truck i don’t want my dog to starve to death….
That's not what en emergency contact is though, is it?
nope….
however, “in case of emergency, i have a pet at home alone”: is pretty important….
e.g. i’m adding my pet to my list of emergency contacts on my phone now… they’ll figure it out.
Oh, okay, that makes sense. We thought you meant more like a will and the dog gets the money.
we thought that’s what an emergency contact is?
No, it's someone you or someone/somemany contacts in case you're in an emergency, not someone in a will necessarily, nor who needs help in an emergency from you necessarily either.
For the dog it is
Ah, we thought they meant put them in the will.
There was a guy in my neighborhood that died of cardiac arrest at home with his 3 dogs. No one noticed for a few weeks and by the time someone did the dogs had eaten the body and only one dog was alive.
I still feel awful about not checking on him...
