Not funny.
Not a meme.
- Can we, without relentlessly criticizing, let people have their un-funny, non-memes and screenshots and whatever little harmless things in which they've managed to find a tiny shriveled flower of joy?
  
  FINE.
- What are the essential criteria of a meme in your view?
  
  IMHO an idea that spreads person to person, not just PSAs that are unlikely to be shared further.
  So the avocado face on the bottom right of this image IS a meme. And if this Tweet turns into a copypasta, then it's a meme.
  
  I've seen this particular tweet like a dozen times now, so it's definitely spread far and wide. Some people only think of image macros as memes, but yes the broader definition I've seen is essentially a viral concept.
- Could we, without relentlessly criticizing, let people have... whatever little harmless things in which they've managed to find a tiny shriveled flower of joy?
- Did you even SEE the avocado with a face? Meme.
  /s if needed..
- It's being spread through communication - It's a meme. Memes don't have to be funny.
- Reminds me of where I used to live, Reddit.
- You're 100% right. But I've seen comics and tweets do well here, so this post isn't going against the norm
  
  yes I posted stuff that doesn't fit the community but everyone else is doing it
  
  The community of users collectively decides what does and doesn't belong here
  
  It's called "Memes" dude, you post memes here.
  
  Yep. Came for the memes. Unsubscribed for the other shit.
  
  If there was some other place to post that would get the same traction I'd gladly put it there. But its not really that big of a deal at the end of the day
  
  That's what I expect a pumpkin spice in September enjoyer to say.
  Sips apple cider
  
  You’re a Reddit refugee aren’t you
