A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Some topics do genuinely require more time though. But those can and should be split into well-defined chapters.
Yup. The ones that are just a blow by blow recap are not really offering anything valuable. If there are specific chapters with points to make then longer videos can be done but generally I find even then it could benefit from knowing when to cut content.
Behind the Bastards did a 6 part (~6 hr) block on Kissinger that I appreciated
Ignore the genocides and crimes and It will be wrapped up in about 12min
Wow, I didn't know Faker committed genocide. That is crazy!
But then you get just:
"In the 19th century, there were angry people which lead to suddenly Israel and that made people also angry."
Reminds me of that one hate-review of the captain marvel movie that was longer than the movie itself (and more entertaining...)
Classic Gbay99.
Posts like this are dumb. The USA or Canada has how much more history than Israel? The problem is not that a state is modern, the problem is when it is an apartheid state. But one does not need to invent dumbfuck shit then to use against an apartheid state. Also just goes and shows what people are willing to spend 4 hours on listening to, nothing else.
Yes that's the joke
