    Internet memes have been a widely used visual form of online rhetoric since the early 2000s. Today they have become a prominent method of communication across the internet, but as a research subject, they're still not very well-examined.

    With 20 years of communicating in memes, we still don’t know their exact implications, says Rebecca Ortiz, an assistant professor of advertising at the Newhouse School. “Research on internet meme effects is still in its infancy. But we can look to past media effects research to hypothesize how people may be influenced by them.”

    We should never underestimate the power that social media and the content that’s surfing there has on our beliefs, identities, and culture. “The most shareable content on social media will reach the most people and potentially have the greatest effect,” she said.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Think of memes as bits of humor that capture shared cultural meanings and speak to some of the largest audience on our planet. “[They] are some of the most shareable pieces of content on social media and therefore they deserve scrutiny and better understanding as to how they may influence us,” Ortiz explained.

    In that sense, understanding a meme is a way to bond with people and feel a strong sense of community. We as humans are wired to do so, so memes are the perfect gateway to that.

    My left-handed mother was forced to write with her right hand. The teacher would hit her over the knuckles with a ruler when she swapped back to her left hand.

    The first sentence was "Das Pferd isst keinen Gurkensalat"(The horse does not eat cucumber salad) spoken by Phillip Reis, a German who invented the telephone first. Wikipedia: Johann Philipp Reis (German: [ʁaɪs]; 7 January 1834 – 14 January 1874) was a self-taught German scientist and inventor. In 1861, he constructed the first make-and-break telephone, today called the Reis telephone.

    Slavery was enshrined in the Constitution of the Confederacy and explicitly protected. "Slavery" was also mentioned in many Confederate states' documents of secession. These are primary source documents from the Civil War. Anyone not believing that the US Civil War was about slavery is spouting their ignorance. (To be fair, a lot of U.S. textbooks contain convoluted nonsense. They pull from the texts written after the war by the Daughters of the Confederacy -- who unsurprising tried their best to create the "lost cause" narrative and spin history in their favor. It still shows up in textbooks today.)

    The German author Heinrich Böll became heavily addicted to Pervitin when he was in the Wehrmacht. It's somewhat funny to read his letters to his family from the front. He always snuck the question in somwhere if they just could send him another box of pills. Of course it's only amusing to read if you know he did have a full and good life later on.
