Yes. Something’s wrong with you

People were snipping out pieces of newspaper and sending them to eachother in the post as jokes, as soon as newspapers became a thing. People used to have silly paintings commissioned to send to eachother too.
Memes are the DNA of the soul, friend.

That is literally what it is though. The name meme was chosen because it’s supposed to be the cultural equivalent of a gene.

To many of us, that sounds like “I don’t like humor”. I really don’t get you.
Really depends what you mean by “memes”.
In general.
So, like, any self-propogating idea, you don’t like it?
Congrats on your unique brain architecture, I guess. When the rest of us are destroyed by parasitic thought-worms, you’ll be there to continue the human race…
What do you consider to be memes? Just images/image macros? Gifs? Videos? Copy pastas? Do you dislike all of these, or just some?
Generically, I’d say memes are essentially just widespread “internet culture” inside jokes. Disliking humor or inside jokes is definitely not the norm.
I don’t like it when I encounter them in the source material, like the council scene in Fellowship “One does not simply ______”. It creates a sort of dissonance that takes me out of what I’m watching. They’re sort of like malware for the brain from that perspective.
No, I completely get where you’re coming from. As a blind person, they are just terrible. Because instead of saying what people want to say, they just post this damn picture that I can’t read and completely kills any conversation. I block all communities that I can for memes just because it’s pointless for me to have them show up.
Those are actually just one type of meme (called image macros, maybe?).
Rick Rolling is a meme, wazzup was a meme, Jingle Bella, Batman Smells" is a meme…there are lots of other things that are memes. Though I do have to admit that a lot of memes are visually-based.
No. Most memes just make me feel tired all over.
