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.

- 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

A captive audience for 15 seconds at which point they have a built-in reason to leave though
That's 15 seconds too long. You're not entitled to annoy people just because they'll be able to leave soon.
That's a faulty arguments, people are also not entitled to not be annoyed by the mere existence of others choosing to live their lives in a way that doesn't actually hurt anyone.
So if I scream in your face for the duration of the ride on an elevator that's perfectly fine because I'm not actually physically hurting you?
I think blanket ruling that "trying openers" is "annoying people" is invalid. Yeah, it might be annoying most of the time, but so are a lot of interactions. If you follow that road you'd end up with anyone who talks to someone ever deserving to die in a fire which I think is unreasonable.
If the worst thing that happens because you shoot your shot is you annoy someone for 15 seconds, then whatever. Take no for an answer is all I ask.
my new go to when people show up at my door selling shit (especially religion)
Unless the guy in and pushed the same floor button as you.
