This completely fucks up this painting because it is not a pipe it is an image of a pipe but it is a meme and one that makes me irrationally angry at that.

It’s not a meme, it’s an image of a meme!

The jug represents the simple pleasures of youth. Common to households across America, it would regularly be used to store a variety of sweetened beverages, from lemonade to iced tea to concentrated orange juice. The emptiness of the bottle signals the hollowness of nostalgia as we can only cling to the imagery even as we long for the sweetness within.
This meme reminds us that memes themselves are a throwback to a bygone day. In analyzing the symbolism, we seek to recreate the moment of blissful innocence. But we are bound by the chains of memory, able only to see but never touch the essence of the thing before us.
The text mostly just obstructs the image. You can ignore it.

Really? I interpreted the text in this meme as a rich commentary on the nature of textual interpretation.
- Consider: “is the glass half full or half empty?” In this image the answer is unclear, obscured by the text.
- In the same way, language interposes itself between us as thinking beings and the objective world.
- Together, these point to the nature of subjectivity in interpretation: is the jug half empty or half full? We cannot even reach the empty/full dichotomy (which is so necessary for the expression of our subjective interpretations) because of the obscuring nature of language.

If some image macros are meme.
And some meme are image macros.
Does that mean all image macros are meme?
Debate.
Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 3 days ago
The term ‘image macro’ has largely fallen out of common parlance. It is a loss of distinction, but not necessarily a loss of functional speech. When people are talking about memes in the Dawkins sense, they know they aren’t talking about image macros, and when people talk about memes in the sense of internet comedy, they don’t get confused. The only confusion that arises is when someone is trying to explain Dawkins memes and has to dance around the fact that the term has been hijacked by the culture.

Dawkins was a smart guy, but "meme’ is his greatest contribution to the world

A failed meme is still a meme.

I get it, the pitcher represents the dichotomy of good and evil!

We used to call these “image macros.”
OfficerBribe@lemm.ee 3 days ago
Before that these were captions.

To be honest, I’m so sexual-relationsing old that I remember when the word meme actually meant something before it was appropriated and adapted for use to refer to the digital images we share electronically after adding text over them.

I too read the selfish gene back in the days. Not when it was new but before internet memes were a thing

I get the pitcher!

This is mostly likely the placebo effect. If people believe is a meme, it can have humorous effects even if is not really a meme.
Kolanaki@pawb.social 3 days ago
They started to get called memes because the term meme itself is just “an idea or behavior that spreads through non-genetic means.” Everything you share online is, by that definition, a meme.

By selecting a seemingly unrelated image to the text, stating that the image doesn’t matter, you’ve actually associated a link to the text to prove your point, therefore making the previously unrelated image relevant. Checkmate atheists.

So they empty pitcher represents the emptiness of memes.
AA5B@lemmy.world 3 days ago
That’s the pitcher I use to refill my humidifier! Does the meme represent the dichotomy between humidifier in winter and lemonade in summer?
capuccino@lemmy.world 3 days ago
I do not call them “memes” anymore, I just say “look at this image” or “look this video”
