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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

'This just in, new evidence suggests that Tolkien's working title for 'The Lord of the Rings' was 'Guy With Rings Wants to Conquer the World'. According to gmtom - this is what we should call 'The Lord of the Rings' from now on, because it's the original name.'
Edit: stop
Strawman argument. I'm litterally just saying that you can't argue in favour of aluminum by saying its the original name, when aluminum is the original. It's not even about which name is """correct""" it's just about using factually information.
No, it isn't. The best thing you could call it is ad hominem, and even then you'd be wrong.
Yes it is, you're constructing an argument that im not making and then arguing against that instead of what im actually saying. It's actually textbook strawman.
No, actually, but you clearly have very poor reading comprehension so it doesn't seem like I'll be getting through to you.
Just know, when you use terms like strawman incorrectly you look fucking stupid.
Okay, whatever you need to tell yourself little buddy.
If 'winning' internet arguments is that important to you can go ahead and chalk this one up as a win if that makes you feel better about yourself. 😉
