    This completely fucks up this painting because it is not a pipe it is an image of a pipe but it is a meme and one that makes me irrationally angry at that.

      It’s not a meme, it’s an image of a meme!

  The jug represents the simple pleasures of youth. Common to households across America, it would regularly be used to store a variety of sweetened beverages, from lemonade to iced tea to concentrated orange juice. The emptiness of the bottle signals the hollowness of nostalgia as we can only cling to the imagery even as we long for the sweetness within.

  This meme reminds us that memes themselves are a throwback to a bygone day. In analyzing the symbolism, we seek to recreate the moment of blissful innocence. But we are bound by the chains of memory, able only to see but never touch the essence of the thing before us.

  The text mostly just obstructs the image. You can ignore it.

    Really? I interpreted the text in this meme as a rich commentary on the nature of textual interpretation.

    • Consider: “is the glass half full or half empty?” In this image the answer is unclear, obscured by the text.
    • In the same way, language interposes itself between us as thinking beings and the objective world.
    • Together, these point to the nature of subjectivity in interpretation: is the jug half empty or half full? We cannot even reach the empty/full dichotomy (which is so necessary for the expression of our subjective interpretations) because of the obscuring nature of language.

  If some image macros are meme.

  And some meme are image macros.

  Does that mean all image macros are meme?

  Debate.

  source

  • Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    The term ‘image macro’ has largely fallen out of common parlance. It is a loss of distinction, but not necessarily a loss of functional speech. When people are talking about memes in the Dawkins sense, they know they aren’t talking about image macros, and when people talk about memes in the sense of internet comedy, they don’t get confused. The only confusion that arises is when someone is trying to explain Dawkins memes and has to dance around the fact that the term has been hijacked by the culture.

      Dawkins was a smart guy, but "meme’ is his greatest contribution to the world

      Way too high resolution and way too little compression… Also who actually crops images perfectly like that? Get a grip…

  The plastic mug obviously symbolizes a cheap method of gathering stuff together and distributing it around. The plastic itself symbolizes materials which hurt the environment.

  To be honest, I’m so sexual-relationsing old that I remember when the word meme actually meant something before it was appropriated and adapted for use to refer to the digital images we share electronically after adding text over them.

  This is mostly likely the placebo effect. If people believe is a meme, it can have humorous effects even if is not really a meme.

  source

  • Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    They started to get called memes because the term meme itself is just “an idea or behavior that spreads through non-genetic means.” Everything you share online is, by that definition, a meme.

  It’s obviously because the internet is so daft, I heard they even upvoted beans.

  All of this is true because it rhymes.

• JakJak98@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  I wrote a report on this in college. Anything can be a meme by definition. It’s the act of sharing images, from one to another, that is what makes it a meme. Because it’s memetic. The origin of meme.

  Reciting newton’s newton’s principia mathematica could be considered a meme, as long as it’s shared from one individual to the next.

  source
• erte@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

  By selecting a seemingly unrelated image to the text, stating that the image doesn’t matter, you’ve actually associated a link to the text to prove your point, therefore making the previously unrelated image relevant. Checkmate atheists.

  Man I loved my Tupperware plastic jar, it was great.

  It kept everything cold outside of the fridge, and when inside the fridge, the hermetic seal lid kept all tidy and odorless

  You could even use the same sealed lid as a way to graduate the pitch of the liquid by varying the pressure on it

  Man I miss that jar

  Anyways jars are awesome

  That’s the pitcher I use to refill my humidifier! Does the meme represent the dichotomy between humidifier in winter and lemonade in summer?

  I do not call them “memes” anymore, I just say “look at this image” or “look this video”

  source

  • JakJak98@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    But therin lies the definition of meme! Since you’re sharing something in a memetic pattern, you’ve fundamentally made the image or video a meme! :)
