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.

I have also definitely seen some millennial-equivalent of boomer humor comics lately and they’re so cringe. I need to see if I can find any of them to add to this comment. It’s usually some variation of “my girlfriend dragged me to…” and “FML.”
Lemmy has a bit of a boomer meme vibe going in general, not sure why. Aside from the more specific meme communities like c/tenforward or c/chevron7 the generic stuff is often 2010s era memes or really bad jokes. No idea why they get upvoted
Maybe because we millenials like to reminisce the memes of the time when memes were good.
Sure, so hilarious I can't breathe
Yeah I find a lot of the random comics are essentially basic observations but displayed in a cute/twee way. They don’t bother me but they definitely seem dated/I don’t really find them fun or funny. But whatever, most of them are harmless enough. It’s those more boomer ones like you’re describing that more bug me because of the social assumptions (usually prejudices) they reinforce.
ADHDinos: there is something I should, but I didn't. Get it!? Haha!
Yeah as someone with a “medium” case of ADHD I rarely enjoy them. I get it, I get what it’s going for, but it’s not for me.
