The core of any meme is humor and relatability. This means that wherever there are two people, it’s possible for them to already start creating memes. Practically speaking, this means that basically every topic, from fandoms, geographic locations, and even certain jobs will often have its own dedicated meme pages. 

The “Science Memes” online community is dedicated to amusing and clever content that does its best to teach you something through humor. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your own ideas below. 

While we do tend to think of memes as a direct product of the internet age, in reality, they are actually older. You may already know the factoid that it was Richard Dawkins who may have coined the term in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, a quite fighting detail, given the content of this list. It would be over twenty more years before this term was used for internet content.

Setting the name aside, some researchers believe that images and ideas that we would identify as memes have actually been used for centuries. “Memetic communication,” as some researchers call it, is, indeed, very very common for humans in general. If you think about it, an inside joke is basically a verbal meme.

If you continually break the laws of physics and reality then you must write for the Fast and Furious franchise.

Now that we have significantly better ways to make “content,” memes have moved from specific references we share with our friends and family and have become digital. Now, with just a little bit of effort, nearly anyone can make images, videos, gifs, and much more as long as they have a computer and internet connection.

More than 100 years after Darwin, and there are people whose mindsets are still stuck in the medieval era

They have proof. A 2000 year old book, written hundreds of years after their mythical master was around, by men that a few years before believed lighting was caused by gods fighting.

These are the people that claim every bit of science is "just a theory." Yet none of them can spell hypothesis.

That's a logical fallacy though. "Demanding that one proves the non-existence of something in place of providing adequate evidence for the existence of that something. Although it may be possible to prove non-existence in special situations, such as showing that a container does not contain certain items, one cannot prove universal or absolute non-existence." https://www.logicallyfallacious.com/logicalfallacies/Proving-Non-Existence The burden of proof is thus with the person who claims evolution exists (and yes, we have quite a lot of evidence for that).

Evolution is a theory. So is gravitation, and theories of gravitation have changed over the years.

Given the fact that many online memes follow certain templates, it’s no surprise to see that stock images show up in them all the time. In general, under US law at least, most memes fall under fair use laws, as long as you aren’t trying to sell them. However, there are cases where famous memes have been taken from copyrighted images and then used by a company or organization in a way that is very clearly not fair use
