For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.
Posts and comments that are hateful, trolling, inciting, and/or overly negative will be removed at the moderators' discretion.

The review goes over some of the methodology.
I'm not saying that.
Edit: if you're saying it's based on nothing then I expect you to have looked into it, yes
Why should I, as the person receiving a meme, research why it is based on fact and not fiction?
That's not how the burden of proof works.
Because you asked for it? Someone posted a dumb meme and didn't cite it with studies and now you are mad. You do have some burden since you are the one who started the discussion on proof in the first place. If you can't even be bothered to look at the proof they bring, its not their problem.
Do memes need burden of proof?
Any media with years, density, "shifting baseline syndrome" is not a meme, it's an infograph disguised as a meme.
So yes, your "meme" requires proof. And you're a propagandist idiot if you think otherwise.
Maybe... Maybe the memes community isn't for you.
There is no secret agenda here. Its just a dumb meme. You can a meme with the words "shifting baseline syndrome" if you want. In fact you can put whatever you want in a meme.
