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.

- 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

I once interviewed a guy after HR had already talked to him. Told him straight up the permanent job would preferably go to an internal candidate, but we still needed someone like him temporarily, even though HR had told him it was for a permanent job. He still took it and the internal candidate was promoted 9 months later. I'm still friends with the guy that took the temp job.
Nine months of temp work is nothing to sneeze at. Better than my buddy who showed up on the first day of his new job at a startup and they went out of business before lunch.
I have a cousin who immediately got laid off from a machining job at a bike manufacturer. The company went out of business right after they hired him. He got a month to work there.
Well, time to collect 6 months of unemployment benefits.
