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

is this racist
Laughing at a funny mistranslation: not racist.
“All Chinese people are stupid, they can’t even spell Ethernet”: racist.
I'm not sure if you're being deliberately obtuse?
I'm not calling out the mistranslation, obviously. I'm calling out The Simpsons -related gag above it which turns the mistranslation into a racist joke.
Let me know if you need any help understanding. Or maybe you could ask your educational institution, assuming that you went to one.
Can I have help understanding, please and thank you

Have you SEEN the original simpsons clip?
In what way does it turn it racist?
Yeah, it shows a lot of implicit biases by using that label.
Ethernet doesn't always mean Internet, it has other uses too! It's a whole specification. It can power a LAN party or even deliver power!
car hole
No, we're talking about internet holes. It's a World Wide Phenomenon.
