Since when do random low quality social media posts qualify as "meme"?-_-

[-] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago

A meme is a "self-propagating" unit of culture.

OP saw this and was compelled to share it. It's culturally relevant, as it speaks (perhaps satirically, perhaps seriously) about an aspect of human (more specifically: western online) culture.

It's a meme. I don't like it any more than you do but it IS definitionally a meme.

That's why I tell people to loosen up when they complain that the format is being misused. If it works, it works. It is evolution. I don't like the look of snails any less than the rest of the general population do, but snails evolved the way they did because it works.
