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

Native speakers of any language tend to not give a fuck about homophones. It can vary a bit exactly what between languages. But every language has plenty of things that native speakers just do not actually give a fuck about. Language doesn't need to be remotely perfect to do its job after all.
Its almost always foreign speakers who learned to do it right that get upset. Since to many having to put in the work to learn things the right way makes them angry when they watch someone just get things wrong that would have gotten them yelled at.
The rest of the time it's bigots getting pissy you arnt speaking "right" and attacking your language skills is little more then a stand in for racism, sexism or other hate.
Enjoy the misused words.
