Memetic content

I thought I'd let another thread swirm in. The world of memes is vast and with unimaginable depths; new ones are continually emerging, and it's hard to keep up.

Post whatever you want, especially something that makes you laugh.

Great idea for thread.

This isn't exactly a meme, but it did turn into a couple of memes in Slav part of the world. It happened in my city.

he wrote Mimesis: The Representation of Reality in Western Literature, a defining work of literary criticism. he also wrote a pretty groovy little/known book titled Dante: Poet of the Secular World which more people should read but I also think more people be into Dante in general so

"literary criticism" really isn't something that I have the time to concern myself with right now or within the next few years, even if I am interested in it. But thanks for mentioning, I'll look out for it sometime, then. And Dante's Divina Commedia is obviously something that I have to read at a certain point in my life, so that Auerbach book might be helpful when I embark to Inferno and beyond. Cheers.

I got it from twitter, but the original post seems like it’s from a 4chan-type board, but I’ve never seen or used okcupid before. The post is written in a way such that it’s on the perfect line between being either sincere or parodic, you can take both readings simultaneously and it’s still hilarious and sad.

I interviewed this guy in 1998 when I was editing the newsletter of the Fellowship of Quakers in the Arts:

A meme I made after some very strong winds in my city turned everything into chaos and did shit like this:

Carmel1379 · #36

Nice one.

I've only made a few 'memes' / amusing(?) images for a maths memes pages about the course in my university, so there's no point in posting those. And usually the stuff that's most funny to me comes from those types of pages concerning exactly my immediate known environment. But a lot of it is also generic content for/about student ("problems"). I've got many of those I could post, but I don't know to what extent people here can identify, what utility that'll have.
