Memes aren’t just silly photos passed around for quick laughs. Experts like digital anthropologist Giles Crouch see them as a tool for the “intercultural exchange of ideas and concepts.”
In an article for Medium, Crouch noted that memes can likewise provide a “great snapshot” of modern society, regardless of whether they remain relevant for years or just a few days or weeks.
Pigs been flying for a while. The NYPD got their first helicopter in 1948.
You’ve likely seen a political meme or two and how it likely drew significant traction. People have used this seemingly innocuous tool to spread their beliefs about a country’s state of affairs, and for good reason.
A publication by Saint Mary’s University noted that memes can “compress complicated ideas into digestible pieces.” They then become easily shareable, for better or worse.
Just found out that quite a few people dislike the same person who was unnecessarily mean to me. Turns out she has been unnecessarily cruel to NUMEROUS people and until this past weekend I had never spoken to to any of them (one I just met) about it. We shared our mutual dislike for this "snake in the grass" and it was very satisfying to learn that others dislike her even more than I do!
Experts agree that memes have a dark side. People can easily misinterpret them, especially those that are snarky in tone. Like diss tracks, they can also be weaponized to attack or disrespect someone.
For Utah State University computer science professor Dr. Nicholas Flann, they can potentially influence and even change someone’s behavior. The current state of technological advancements also plays a significant role.
“Memes thrive in the world because we have the internet and because we have advanced artificial intelligence (AI),” Dr. Flann told Utah State Magazine.
Fun fact: Freddy Krueger's sweater is NOT red and black. It is in fact bright red and a mossy forest green. The costume designer chose those colors because they were unsettling.
One of the few times the Manned Maneuvering Unit was used. Trialed and retired in 1984. It was a space jetpack that allowed astronauts to work untethered in space, but it was deemed too dangerous.
The strong influence on human behavior also makes memes an effective tool for spreading hate speech and disinformation. Many are disguised in dark humor, making them more presentable.
Dr. Flann says fake news memes “can kill off hard-won information” to the point where most people won’t consider it anymore. And there are potential dangers to that.
Back when I played FiveM I played as a cop. I made sure that my unit number was always 404. The older players got it, the younger... not so much
Just throw the whole 16oz in, we're eating pasta for a few days :)
All good, bad, and ugly aside, memes are likely not going out of style anytime soon. Crouch believes they will continue to be a primary means of communication that can transcend cultures. They touch on almost every aspect of life.
“That simple meme is anything but,” Crouch wrote.
We’d like to hear from you, readers. Which of these memes stood out to you? Share your thoughts and insights in the comments!
"This USB-C will self destruct after 60 days to help you keep your data protected"...done
It knows. Seriously. And just lies in wait for the absolute height of my anger and frustration.
Time is an illusion. Washing machine time doubly so. (Crappy HHGG reference)
Reminds me of an old manager I had. He always came in half asleep. He starts laying out the calendar for the week and he makes it to the 35th before our labtech asks if there were still on for that meeting on the 35th. That moment was GOLDEN!
started some easy yoga exercises in the morning... that s**t works, was genuinely surprised (specifically uppa yoga)
Babies don't sleep so well in the womb either really. They are always up and about, wriggling, kicking, hiccuping, yawning and stretching. They certainly don't have sleep cycles that would fit in with a 9-5 job!
It wasn't difficult to sneak over some alcohol. It's basically an open secret during the wars. As long as you didn't cause any problems and weren't doing it out in the open, it was easy to get away with.
Nothing hurts more than knowing somebody’s cat hates you more than they usual hate people
