A meme 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.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), [email protected] can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. [email protected]

I still need to understand everything. My thirst has only grown over the years. I cultivate my curiosity by reading things that I'm not directly interested in, sometimes grinding through articles that I find boring.
Ars Technica does a great job of covering a multitude of topics while making them interesting even if I know nothing about them. Check them out: https://arstechnica.com/
Instead of scrolling on social media, try going directly to a website's homepage and reading all the articles. You'll learn a lot and maybe find something you didn't know you were interested in!
This is why we have RSS.
Yeah my friends and I have been reading a book of humanities theory lately. I’m an engineer. I’ve also been fucking around with a home server and starting an organization.
Yeah I like memes and such, but I try to learn a bit every day
Yep, Ars is great. The hate Elon gets in the comments is always a pleasure.
Have you seen the Asianometry YouTube channel? It’s technical topic video essays that are informative and really well made.

I hadn't heard of that and at just a glance their stuff looks spectacular! I do watch a mixture of channels on YouTube. I'll list some of my favorites.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.
i mostly try to keep busy with things, rather than stuff. Reading is a great way to learn, but you have to be very directed for it to be productive. Which to be fair, isn't incredibly hard.
Find things to do that keep your brain stimulated, and exploit the ever living shit out of them, that's why smart people exist. That's what they do really well. Knowledge is 50% of intelligence.
Me too...I've been stuck on quantum physics for the past 15 years. Soon, I'll be able to start wrapping my head around chemistry and maybe some biology before I die.
Ohhh thanks for sharing that site, it's lovely!
