A meme (/miːm/ ⓘ; MEEM)[1][2][3] 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.[4] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices, that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena with a mimicked theme.
“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy [sic] just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn [sic] should not have been counted
Max Lavergne, Tumblr[1][2]
“Spiders Georg” is an internet meme that began circulating on the microblogging website Tumblr in 2013. It was created by Max Lavergne as a humorous post involving a common misconception about the average number of spiders accidentally swallowed per year by each human. The post saw an increase in popularity the following year, and the format of the meme has been adapted to other topics, mimicking the spelling and grammatical errors of the original post.

Now suck on that for a while.
Yeah, no. It’s not about Spider Georg, it’s about screenshots of texts. They don’t count.
Of course they don’t count.
They’re not sentient.
Lmao gottem.
OK here’s a brand new idea: there are more forms of memes than just image macros. Hitler reacts videos are also a meme.
Got it? No? Still gonna whine? Whatever.
Yeah, a meme can have different forms. I just argue that a screenshot of a tweet withouth further recontextualization is not a meme.
Got it? No? Still gonna whine? Whatever.
Ratio shows agreement/disagreement.
My idiot in Christ, the OOP recontextualised the original spiders meme with topical references to LLM and RAM shortages and I shared that here.
That explains a lot.
Bru, go and find another of these discussions. Im tired of it and stop talking to you now.
Very rich coming from someone who started the argument.
