    And meme used to refer to a unit of cultural information that spreads by imitation, not a funny picture on social media.

      In fairness to memes, that definition is still largely true, its just that the common usage tends to refer to this specific form of meme. Like with squares and rectangles, not all anthropological memes are image macros, but all image macro memes are a subset of anthropological memes

        This feels like your boss saying you get a company car and then giving you a scale model of a car with the company logo on it.

People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

  4. No international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it’s a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the “x” at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you’re not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option.
