I don't really feel addicted to 5 cigarettes a day

They're radio waves but they have nothing to do with a radio. Some of them may have a builtin radio or apps that enable them to do radio. But that's not the medium memes are spread in.

Nobody told otherwise.
They're still called "internet memes", if you like it or not.

Not by me, if you like it or not. You can call it whatever you want. As can I.

Well, thanks for that.

Can't complain, I tried to get wifi into my radio receiver but somehow it didn't work.
No social media via my radio

I have no clue how this post wound up on this thread. LOL.

Well, my mod win is toast. It powers on for like 2 minutes when I insert batteries. I guess off to PM and see what I can do. Tom Cruise is out of the closet, I didn't realize that was a removable battery mod. See, see what impulse purchases can do? Although I know it was ordered AGES ago. My 22 mm Siren sits on it with no overhang, must say I quite like it. Of course it's an Aspire mod, and I can never complain about them

Sorry to hear about that... you do need to send a message to the people you won it from..see if you can do a good review of their customer service.

I won a mod this morning and one of those vape pens.. woohoo!

I'm being hopeful for the innokin proton! Now that would be cool...

I don't feel addicted to the 10 cups of Coffee I drink everyday. I do get a little grumpy if I don't get them though

From your first link:
"Internet memes are associated with media, catchphrases, and more general trends that spread throughout various outlets on the World Wide Web like chat clients, blogs, social networking sites, email, forums and image boards."
If my name was John, and everyone kept calling me Jack, despite my wishes, it wouldn't make me Jack, Jack...
And yes, social networks like to bill themselves as 'the internet'. The mafia used to refer to themselves as 'businessmen'. So?

 

[ilporcupine]

Yeah, Ok, I'll stop now...

 

[untar]

So?

So there are "internet memes". Something you said didn't exist a page ago.

Names for things are determined by what people usually call it. That's why we have smartphones and not "PDA phones" or "all in one phones". What a person is called has nothing to do with that since it is more used as an individual identification than as a label name for a category.

Ok, I'll stop now

Ok

But a rose by any other mane is still a rose and would smell just as sweet.

Wi-fi doesn't work in your phone? Feature phone?

 

[stols001]

Man, internet memes are apparently so dangerous and well pernicious, that even trying to define them is fraught with danger....

I think we should stop. Before you know it there will be a "what is a meme" meme, and I really don't want to have to deal with that one.

Just, ah, sayin'

We'd have a much more productive discussion if you stopped to willfully misunderstand what I said.
You know exactly what I meant when I wrote "radio" along other media and it certainly wasn't everything that uses radio waves. This is what's commonly referred to as "a radio"

and I bet you knew that already and are just playing dumb now

Anna, the name "internet meme" is a social media meme. Wrap your head around, that...

I just heard the best meme on my transistor radio

Not my fault if you don't know the definitions of certain things, and you are the one willfully playing the fool here, pal. That phone is a 2 way RADIO, in the common vernacular. Specifically a radio frequency transceiver. Surely you know that.

You know what? Go to reddit to discuss your theory of

There are no internet memes

Surely they'll patiently point out where you've gone wrong.

I'm done with this, I made my point and if for whatever reason you're unable to admit you're wrong even if it's obvious you are then so be it

 

[classwife]

Done.
