    A meme is just something funny that you share

    By the technical definition, it doesn’t even have to be funny, it only needs to be quickly sharable

      Usually you wouldn’t share something that wasn’t funny/amusing though, there is that whole angle of sharing horrific stuff for shits and giggle though… so yeah it really doesn’t matter.

        Usually yes, but, at least in programming, “data is code, code is data” is a meme, in the sense that it’s sharable. And it’s not exactly funny, it’s just an idea.

        But yeah, meme is used for intense-based jokes because it’s the norm
