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.

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.

Ok I feel like I'm shitting on my country so let me explain a little XD. The situation in Pakistan has drastically improved ove the last decade and we're starting to get quite a fair amount of tourists. However, our country hasn't invested a lot in museums, heritage sites and tourist infrastructure so I think our artifacts are better off in western countries for now, where more people can view them. If you plan on visiting Pakistan, there's still a lot we have to show, just not behind glass in some aircon building. For example, just 1.5 hours from my house is a Buddhist stuppa with Buddhist statues dating back to the 2nd century! Soo yeah I really don't mind, but of course I can't speak on behalf of all Pakistanis or South Asians.

For all of you who feel that your countries are not protecting your national treasures and you feel some mistaken gratitude for other countries "saving" them, let's talk about colonies, invasions, about corruption from oil and mining companies, weapon industries etc in your lands.

That's a big controversy in Germany right now. Not only did the German Empire commit its own atrocities in foreign countries and collected cultural artifacts for museums, people also bought them in bulk from the British! Now, some politicians in Berlin thought it would be a great idea to rebuild a palace from scratch with millions they don't have to house exactly this kind of artifacts.

There's an empty platform at the acropolis museum in Athens for the final statue in a set that used to hold up a pavilion. There's a passive aggressive little plaque too. It's iconic. I wonder if the British museum will ever actually give it to them.

The British explored the world, often to create maps of uncharted areas of the world, not every artifact was prised from a murdered black person like some people seem to believe

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.)

When the 5 permanent members of the U.N. security council are the planets largest arms dealers you have to wonder if they are serious about stopping wars.

Zimmermann and the German government were dumb enough to admit what they have done without realizing what they really have done.

There's a good meme about how the Soviets sent the first spaceship, the first animal in space, the first man in space, the first woman in space, the first robot on Venus, and the US still ended up winning the space race somehow

Denmark "wasn't Norway part of Denmark from 1390 to 1814?" And Harald Bluetooth did also rule a part of Norway?

Don't forget about the man who was on his last day of a business trip in Hiroshima when that happened... he survived the blast and eventually got to hospital at his home town of Nagasaki then dragged himself to work just to get hit by the second bomb... and survived again.

Most of the 'boomers' I know did more to fight for equality and rights for all than the keyboard warriors of today and they're not all financially secure as you seem to imply

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.

Yes, but in Britain your class isn't defined by your wealth. He was born working class (then raised middle class by his aunt). His wealth didn't change that.

Nah, the time a computer alarmed the US forces about 2.000 incomming ICBMs was closer. Jimmy Carter forgot the code card for the the counterstrike in one of his jackets which landed in the laundry... lucky though, as the idiot computer mistook stars as missiles
