A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), [email protected] can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. [email protected]

Those are so infuriating. Especially when it's for some random website that you'll likely never have a reason to visit ever again. Does anyone actually subscribe? I highly doubt it, though who knows what old people do (I used to do end-user tech support and I've seen some shit). I've come across a couple of stores offer a small discount if you subscribe, which is at least a legit reason to do so, but this discount is so small that I even then I don't bother.
Surprisingly, yes. I have no idea why people put their email addresses in those things, but they do. I put a tiny email capture on one of my websites once as an experiment. I didn't even offer anything, It just said "Keep in touch", and thousands of people signed into an double opt-in mailing list in the 3 weeks I had it up. Fucking weirdos.
A twice-weekly mailing list on cybersecurity sounds like a just punishment for their incompetence.
