I can feel other things dropping looking at that face.

meme how we know it should be a picture, with a STROKED IMPACT FONT (not a font that has impact, but the actual trademarked impact font) line of text across the top, bottom, or both.

Coming from a guy with a #swag signature... pretty sure you have nothing to drop.

Sure am glad my signature is fulfilling its purpose.

TL;DR: “meme” comes from Richard Dawkins who abbreviated “mimeme” (imitated thing) because it was close to “gene” and can also be related to “memory” or the French word “même”.

And “meme” in French is “mème”.

I'm not sure if you're trying to be funny by not being funny, or trying to no be funny by being funny... It's all too confusing for me.

Well reading through the replies. I'm surprised there are some complaints. Would you rather have the forum filled with the typical whining about everything? Yes, some complaining is good for feedback. But don't make it like 90% of the threads. We need more threads like the gifs for those FFXIV moments and this. Not the "Atma is a pain to farm", "Why is this game catering to the casuals?", etc threads.

Maybe the complainers of the people that made those threads, mad that people aren't sharing in their misery or stroking their egos?
