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.

- 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

MODERATORS
shooting, darts, snooker, curling, boules, golf, archery, driving/car racing, horse riding, sailing, luge/skeleton, croquet, motorboat racing, table tennis, weight lifting, gliding, skiing, alpinism, ballooning, chess, firefighting, cannon shooting, kite flying, pigeon racing, military patrol, dog-sled racing, bridge, lifeguarding, scuba diving have all been part of modern day Olympics.
And of this list there's a whole bunch of stuff that isn't a sport.
Unless you consider that painting is a sport? Because that was in the Olympics as well!
sport is a contractive ellision of disport, from the Latin desport meaning "to carry away," i.e. a pastime in which you get carried away, or a game with equipment you can carry around.
All dictionaries describe sports as games of athleticism and/or skill.
If you get too prescriptive of your definition then things like running, swimming, karate aren't sports because they don't have equipment you can carry, or if shooting has no "athleticism", wouldn't it be fair to say that the 100m dash has no particular "skill" and thus is also not a sport.
If that sounds too ridiculous, maybe you should reconsider your position.
Have you also considered Diogenes' "Behold - A Man!" when trying to define sports?
You're proving that reading comprehension is a sport in which you are terrible.
