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
All of the tasks are pointless. The boulder rolls down, the hotel for sure can accommodate him, the ship will be reborn. Which is most pointless seems to be the paradox now. "Is he happy?" implies that pointless tasks please him.
Is he happy refers to the end of Camus' book The Myth of Sisyphus where he concludes "One must imagine Sisyphus happy." The oft omitted penultimate line gives the meaning Camus was going for. "The struggle itself towards the heights is enough to fill a man's heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy." So one does not have to make believe Sisyphus to be happy but one must consider him so.
