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

USAian defaultism is always hilarious
I can't help that I was born here. FWIW I'm not a blind patriot, I just have autism.
I see, that's understandable. We all have pet-peeves. Mine is the date format in the US that has spread month-day-year. Most of Europe is day-month-year and it's very confusing when people start adopting US formats because they watch so much stuff from the US.
IMO any date standard other than ISO 8601 is wrong too. Year-Month-Date makes the most sense from a chronological standpoint. Also makes sorting files by date easier.
It's only useful for storing data, in the real world you want to know the day and sometimes the month, is very rae to want to know the year
That used to be what letters were expected to have in Germany but because nobody actually stuck to that law they made it optional, instead also allowing the much more common dd.mm.yyyy which is almost as acceptable in my opinion.
Something tells me that ISO was created to make programming easier. Time/date stuff on computers are a menace in general.
RFC3339 is also acceptable
It's not just Americans that use the comma as a spacer and a period for a decimal
