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.

Is that not the case where you're from? Genuinely almost never heard anyone having a conversation on an intercity bus
In my country, almost any group travelling together is going to speak on a long-haul bus or train, many of them most of the time. And lots of people make loud phone calls (forbidden on most public transit but nobody enforces it: someone recorded 5 simultaneous calls from a tram once). There have to be designated quiet coupés (or open rail cars since coupés are falling out of fashion). They are experimenting with making them first-class only, very asinine given the ticket price difference and the near-zero cost 🤫🔇 stickers add to a railcar
It's pretty common for long haul routes to feature chatter, the chatter goes up exponentially if something goes south. As we'd then have a shared experience of sitting in queue on the highway together
