If laughter is the best medicine, then memes are over-the-counter medication, available everywhere on the internet. There are also so many different types of memes about pretty much any topic or from a certain community that you’re bound to find something for you.

Today, we’re sharing memes that will probably be at least a little relatable to everyone, shared by the aptly named IG page Memelord.

With the scene set, let's talk about memes.

    Have you ever thought about what memes are, anyway? That word is used so often, in “did you see that meme I sent you?” and “I love these kinds of memes”, that we don’t really think about its origin anymore. 

    For example, the word ‘chair’ - what makes a chair a chair? 

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Well, it turns out that word may come from the 12th-13th century, referring to a bishop’s throne, which in turn, stems from the latin ‘cathedra’, meaning ‘seat’.

    So what is a meme?

    The memes we talk about nowadays are from the internet - internet memes. Regular memes are defined on Wikipedia as “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.”

    ADVERTISEMENT

    According to the “explain like I’m five” Reddit community, memes are units of culture - ideas, jokes, phrases, stories.

    Memes have a curious trait - they’re like genes - the successful ones replicate, remain in the public consciousness and spread, while the bad ones drop away and are forgotten.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Retention and transmission therefore are very important to these “meme genes.” They need to stay in people’s consciousness, as the more a certain meme is used, the longer its lifespan becomes. 

    But they also need to be transmitted to other people so they can ‘infect’ even more people, stay in the public consciousness longer, hopefully be transmitted again, and so on.

    Tweet by Meme Lord comparing American and English bulldog barks humorously.

    adamgreattweet Report

    What’s really interesting is that the definition of internet memes or memes in general is a meme itself now. What I mean by this is that we’ve transformed the definition of “meme” and now use it to refer to pictures with slight variations in them or a banner of text above them.

    So this idea, as mentioned previously, is engrained in the public consciousness so deeply now that it has mutated the original definition - memes are not units of culture, but rather funny pictures to us.

    One of the first widespread memes was “Kilroy was here,” a little graffiti doodle with the same tagline. It rose in popularity during World War II and can still be encountered in the wild from time to time. 

    If you were to think about it, are there memes that have stuck with you since your youth till now? Consider the “shut up and take my money” meme, which isn’t hugely popular nowadays, but can still be found as a common expression. Or that image of the guy with his girlfriend, leering at another girl and making his girl jealous - did you know that image has been around since 2017? That’s like, 6 years now, I hope I made you feel old.

    Otterbox case. I’ve hucked my phone across the room accidentally because I forgot it was in my hand, and I’ve never so much as cracked it XD Those Otterbox cases are srs bsns. P.S. treating one brand of phone-user as inferior to another brand of phone-user is idiotic. It’s approaching bigot-levels of cruelty and insult in some of the recent comments I’ve seen on a few BP posts lately. How about we don’t hate someone else just because they use a different brand of PHONE than you do?

    I had the iPhone 1 and then the 3gs. If I counted how many times I had to fix my screens I'd lose count. Back then for 17 you could do it yourself. I went broke. Then I got android out of frustration. How many times has my Andy screen broke? 0

    When my nephew was a teenager, he got an iphone and I asked him his reason for that over an android. He said because his friends had them. Then he got a little older and went to college for CS, next time I saw him he had an android. I just chuckled internally.

    As someone who worked tech support for a major phone service provider, I would NEVER get an iPhone. Basically Zero tech support if you don't have access to an Apple store, they break if you look at them wrong, and WAY too easy to get locked out of your own account. I have neurological issues and have dropped my Galaxy 100s of times, including multiple times down concrete steps/stairs, and not only is it still working great, the screen isn't even SCRATCHED. 4 years and going.

    My son inherited my tendency to keep things until they are 100% nonfunctional. I think he's even worse than I am because a couple of phones ago, he was literally carrying it around in a sealed ziplock bag to keep all the pieces together. Somehow it still worked.
