Why is this so common on Lemmy? It is not a meme to post a screenshot comment section. It might be funny but it isn't a meme - eviltoast

    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
