More non-memes with hundreds of upvotes... Pathetic.

We've reached the point of: funny = meme

I blame Gen Z for this, lol

Except this isn't even an attempt at humor, either. This community is full of no-effort garbage like this because everything gets upvoted. I have yet to find another community that is such a concentration of idiocy that the voting system is worthless.

Just... Block the community?

Tweets are not memes. Downvote that shit.

In a really strict reading every idea is a meme.

Though thecontext matters imho. Personally a meme should be something created, or shared, that picks up a new type of meaning along the way. If a stirn of text is pasted there isn't any meaning added. It's just lazy.

I like my memes just a sliver above lazy, I like them low effort. Same difference between a raw steak and medium rare. It's not much, but it makes alle the difference..
