The core of any meme is humor and relatability. This means that wherever there are two people, it’s possible for them to already start creating memes. Practically speaking, this means that basically every topic, from fandoms, geographic locations, and even certain jobs will often have its own dedicated meme pages.
The “Science Memes” online community is dedicated to amusing and clever content that does its best to teach you something through humor. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites, and be sure to comment your own ideas below.

While we do tend to think of memes as a direct product of the internet age, in reality, they are actually older. You may already know the factoid that it was Richard Dawkins who may have coined the term in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene, a quite fighting detail, given the content of this list. It would be over twenty more years before this term was used for internet content.
Setting the name aside, some researchers believe that images and ideas that we would identify as memes have actually been used for centuries. “Memetic communication,” as some researchers call it, is, indeed, very very common for humans in general. If you think about it, an inside joke is basically a verbal meme.

Now that we have significantly better ways to make “content,” memes have moved from specific references we share with our friends and family and have become digital. Now, with just a little bit of effort, nearly anyone can make images, videos, gifs, and much more as long as they have a computer and internet connection.

Wouldn't anything involving the history of Ancient Egypt be a "Pyramid Scheme" on some level.
Given the fact that many online memes follow certain templates, it’s no surprise to see that stock images show up in them all the time. In general, under US law at least, most memes fall under fair use laws, as long as you aren’t trying to sell them. However, there are cases where famous memes have been taken from copyrighted images and then used by a company or organization in a way that is very clearly not fair use.

Darwin Trying To Unlock All Achievements
Genetics as we know it did not exist when Darwin did his work. Mendel published his work 6-7 years after "On the origin of the species" (1859) and was ignored as not being relevant to science. His research was "re-discovered" in 1900 by 1 of 3 scientists (arguments over who was first and how much the discovered/just stole from Mendel). A dude named Bateson came up the terms genetics and allele that year based on Mendel's work. It was Fisher in 1919 ( 60 years after "Origin") who published his work proving genetics was related to evolution.
If Anyone Can Explain How Time Travellers Account For This That'll Be Swell
Space is probably full of time travellers who forgot to take that into account!
