Post memes here.
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

Probably the same reason that a.m. becomes p.m. at 12:00
Ah, so, pure unadulterated bullshit.
Actually, on second thought, I can argue that it makes sense, but only if you rename 12 to 0, I.e. midnight is 0 o'clock. Similarly, recapping the year at the beginning of December makes sense if you rename December to Zerouary and make sure the year starts on Zerouary zeroth.
Am and pm means before midday and after midday in Latin.
After 11:59 you are after midday.
Before 12:00 you are before midday.
That explanation doesn't make the concept any less ridiculous.
Because that's when the timezone passes through the sun's zenith?
Classic meridian bullshit
