Your not the only one. I thought about it and didn’t get it till after I started to scroll to the next post.
The pun is a bit forced, but you have to admire their spirit.
Teehee... "spirit levels"
I’m kind of annoyed with myself for laughing at this, but I gotta admit, it’s a good one.
God damn it
sigh Have my upvote.

I hate you, take my arrow

Wow, that escalated quicly.

So first comics were memes. Then screenshots from twitter were memes. Now jokes and puns are memes...
This is outright stupid.
You do understand what a meme is... Right?
meme
/mēm/
noun
-
an image, video, piece of text, etc., typically humorous in nature, that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations.
-
an element of a culture or system of behavior passed from one individual to another by imitation or other nongenetic means.
verb
- create an internet meme from (an image, video, piece of text, etc.).
Oh big brains with the dictionary definition... Most everyone on here has grown up with the birth and evolution of Internet memes. The term meme has existed longer than the internet. Don't feed me the patronizing bullshit of the dictionary definition. That's not what internet memes were, or are.
I don't read the Sunday memes in the newspaper. I don't watch comedy memes on TV. Twitter posts are called tweets, not memes. Facebook posts are called posts. News stories are called stories. Normal pictures/photos are called pictures/photos. Puns are puns. Jokes are jokes.
Communities exist for every single one of these. And that's where each of them should go, especially since all of these communities need traffic and content.
You know damn well what anyone mentioning a meme they saw is referring to, and it ain't your bullshit dictionary definition. Get off your high horse because I'm not buying your holier-than-thou shit.
If you like garbage dump, catch-all shitfests then go back to reddit. Lemmy communities still have a chance to be better, and I'll be damned if I'm going to sit by and watch it happen here too, much less put up with self-righteous assholes who think copy-pasting a dictionary definition gives them a position.
That's a whole lot of text to say no
Your answer has the same amount of effort the posts in this community do. Congratulations.
I guess this would be more meme-ish if the text was placed in the image instead of the title of the post.
Oke this made me blow air out of my nose... Just close of a snort but not yet there yet
