It doesnโ€™t really need to spread. If you take the gene comparison, a meme that doesnโ€™t spread is like a person who has no kids. They still have genes even if they donโ€™t spread them.

Yeah, I guess that's true. I just always thought of the phrase referring to the things that spread, but memes and genes can die without spreading.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
