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.

Maybe it's just me getting older, but I fail to see how this is a "meme"
Nowadays every fucking funny picture is a meme. Like apparently every photo that you are on is a selfie regardless of who took it. I hate it.
Malapropisms.
The battle is lost. I think we just have to accept it.
meme has evolved to just mean "funny thing", and like, do you have a better word for that? it's not a joke, and i'm not going to start saying "funny thing".
closest i can think of would be "a funny" which sounds worse than calling everything a meme
But that's what it is, a funny thing. Why can't that be said? Because this is absolutely not a meme, not by a stretch. This image won't be repurposed with different text, taking its meaning and applying it to a different context like memes do.
So because you can't summon the fortitude to say "funny thing", the whole community has to be flooded with garbage posts that are not memes in any way? That makes a ton of sense 👍
I agreed with your first comment, but now I think you may in fact be getting old.
It can be both things
I think it is. I'm not even that old but I've gone from nobody I knew IRL having ever heard the word to everyone knowing it but with a watered down meaning.
This does bring up an interesting question? What did it mean for a mirror to be used?
Just reflect on it for a while
It was probably never mounted on a wall or door or whatever.
But what about the roof of their car to defend from the 5G nanobots?
"oh, it's used then"
What did it mean for a mirror to be used?
Rails of booger sugar have been snorted off it.
Plot twist, they went blind and we are all horrible.
Blindness doesn't stop the photons/magic from bouncing off the mirror, they just couldn't see it. Even in the photo, the mirror is visibly turned on and reflecting things. It's very much used.
the mirror is visibly turned on
That's a sentence.
Yeah you wanna use that mirror, yeah?
wake up babe new fetish just dropped
Ah but then is it the mirror that uses the world or the world that uses the mirror? Is the Mirror just now starting it's own Fools journey and need to gain experience by being viewed to expeince 'the world' or is it a passive thing. Aren't all things and beings being 'used' by the entropy of all? Language is fun ;3
If a tree falls in a forest does anyone hear it
Is anyone in the forest?
Owner is a vampire.
I am gonna put my take here, with a little piece of personal information.
I had a girlfriend who love to make it in front of mirrors. I almost forgot about it until I saw the bed's reflection in the mirror.
I might be wrong though, but that's when the "never used" made me laugh.
This is bigoted against Vampires.
I don't know how the part that is "bigoted" came out of it but I'll allow it considering that the vampires and the mirrors have a relation.
Vampire?
The real question is:
Never used for what?
Self reflection?
I was going through one of my towns but and sell pages and found a post of a “never used” dress and the lady was wearing it. I asked if it was never used then why is she wearing it. Argument ensued with other commenters and she ended up removing the pictures of her in it
Do you know if she sold the pristine dress?
No idea, I didn’t follow it that far lol
As long as you don't see yourself, or anyone or anything, or unwrap ot, or let it exist, you're good
Nobody said “you talkin to me” into it
Also valid are "Ayyyyyy" and "Would you fuck me? I'd fuck me. I'd fuck me hard."
Maybe they meant "never installed or mounted".
Either that or they were talking about their brain.
gran vag? no i don't think i will, i couldn't see myself in there
Don't be too hard on gran vag! Take it from Benjamin Franklin:
The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement.
That was an awkward scene in AC 3
don't knock it til you've tried it.
That's just where they store it
"Gran-vag"
That's why it's so vast and spacious
