No, this is recombination

As it is the Fediverse I guess it was seamless as well?

I, for one, welcome our meme overlords.

If this was 2014 you’d have broken the internet with this

is this loss?

I hereby propose the Lemmy Institute of Memetics where we will experiment with meme mutations and see which evolutions have the most mental stickiness and sharability.

Isn't that just what Lemmy shitposts is?

I hate you.

Now listen here you little shit...

Thank you Summit link preview!

You know it would probably be best to base it in the USA and start it as a superPAC. Our campaign finance laws are so corrupt it could be a nearly tax-free endeavor!

Such dankness!

It works so well I didn't even realize anything was amiss until I got to the third panel lol

Now we wait for the Memeception

[–] No_Money_Just_Change@feddit.org 10 points 1 week ago

And just like in life 99.9999% of the random mutations are absolute shit

Thank you for your service though

Memes don't have rules. Memes are not just silly pictures. It's whatever idea that gets transmitted and repeated. Doing a handshake when you meet someone is a meme.

Memes, the DNA of the soul.

Points for accuracy! The meme is the doctor. The monster is the meme's creation. I'm not sure what this tells us about OP.
