No, this is c/memes. But a screenshot of a comment without any recontextualization isn't a meme.

A meme is an idea or behavior that spreads through a culture.

I will not have that discussion again.

Is this an idea or a behaviour?

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago

If this qualifies as a meme, then literally anything posted here would as well, making the term useless.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

I agree that the channel is poorly named.

The Q stands for quality.

Wack, the definition I have here is

"Any unit of (originally cultural) information, such as a practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another in a comparable way to the transmission of genes."

Of course there are some other definitions, but I'd assume this community intends the most open interpretation otherwise they'd have a more specific one listed in the comm rules

It most certainly can be.

[-] brown567@sh.itjust.works 16 points 2 weeks ago

The idea that a meme must include an image is in itself a meme
