Chief memes are those that pop up on your feed or social media every now and then. They might be memes you made up yourself, or they might be memes you found on someone else’s social media account. They are things like, “Why did I have a heart attack?”, or “I’m too busy to read the news.”, or “I’m too tired to go to the gym.
They are the memes most likely to make you laugh.
Sometimes the best memes seem to come from the people who are the most down on what they see on the internet, with all their comments from the past. Even though we all know we all have the same emotions, we still have this strange sense that we all have a sense of what others think of us. It’s like we feel a little bit smarter than we really are, even though we have all the same thoughts and emotions.
They’re also one of the most depressing memes. I can’t find a good way to say it, but it just feels like the most depressing thing you can think of. A few days ago my friend and I went to the gym and the instructor was reading a book. We had some time to kill and I went to my computer and got a quick meme.
Memes are the internet’s way of creating memes. They are basically anything that other people think is funny or cool, but that doesn’t fit the typical definition of memes.
The most recent meme to get memes is this one. It is created by a guy named Mikel who created all these various memes in a single night. It was a night of memes and I laughed my ass off.
I can only imagine the number of memes that will be created, and how long they will last, by this guy. I can only imagine if Mikel decided to start posting to the internets in his sleep. I can only imagine how many thousands of memes will be created.
This is the sort of thing that makes me think that we need a bit more of a discussion about what the concept of a meme is, but I think that it doesn’t have to mean a meme that is only on the internet. It could be just a meme that is funny to me (like this meme, for example) but if it was to really be a meme, that person would need to be a living, breathing thing.
The term “meme” may have been coined by the internet, but it was actually coined by the American psychologist Walter Mischel in the 1960s. He’s known for his work on “deepfakes,” where people pretend to be someone they’re not. His work with deepfakes is not exactly new (see my book Deepfakes: How High Tech Images and Stories are Used Against Democracy), but his methodology was.
If you take the word meme seriously, then you probably won’t have trouble finding someone who really knows what a meme is.
