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.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- 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

Jesus christ... Why would you do this to yourself? Please tell me you can skip that boot video at least lmfao
If I remember, you couldn't skip in the start. Remember seeing a patch note about how you are allowed to skip it now, but its hard to find.
This one is easy because it used to be top of all time
Yeah they updated the steam deck after that post that would allow skipping the startup animation
At least it has volume and everything. Imagine if it really was a GIF without sound. A bit harder to enjoy.
That must be a massive and ugly file.
Oh, just 20 GB, give or take.
Is that an actual gif or one of those audio-less videos that many gif services have taken to using lately, due to their higher quality and smaller file sizes? (RIP gfycat)
I downloaded it many years ago when it was published (I can't find it now). It is an actual gif but it's very low res (and obviously it's 256 colours) and very large, some players will fail to load it, and you can give up on web players
You can find it here (reddit tho)
According to the OP there, it is an actual gif.
Oh, and it should be pronounced as /gi eɪ̯ ɛf/, as it's an abbreviation of Graphical Interface Frame or something.
I downloaded it. It's a 39 MB real GIF, 60 by 60 pixels at 10 fps. When I open it in MPV it's pretty much exactly 1 hour and 30 minutes long, and I can skip around to different parts including to the end credits. Looks legit to me.
Little proof vid (ironically 1/7th the size of the GIF).
Please provide the download link for the air headed and lazy.
/gi eɪ̯ ɛf/
What is this abomination? /gi/‽
Juyph
The parent comment would be pronounced "ghee A eff". /g/ is the hard g of "gift", not the soft g of "gin" (which is /dʒ/). (second word pronounced like "hey" or "say" without their first letters, or "eight" without its last.)
Jiugh
No, ghiayef.

Depends, are you guys selfish assholes, too?
Looks like they have surpassed us a long time ago.*
That’s why we surpassed them. Also, referring to us as “people” rather than individuals of their own species is perversely anthropocentric for an advanced society that presumably developed before ours.
...because of grammar corrections?
