Post memes here.
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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

David Sedaris talked about movie culture in France in one of his essays. He described the audience as absolutely silent.
Sounds heavenly.
that's... just most movie theaters. the us is a very weird exception, not the rule.
People acting like it’s their living room, ignoring all the paying customers around them.
I've only once run into someone talking (fortunately).
Ya fr I've been going to the movies at least 5-6 times a year for 30 years and I can only recall one time that someone was disruptive enough to say something, and an usher dealt with it before I did. I know it does happen, but it's not nearly as ubiquitous as memes will make it seem.
Twice, it was so loud we couldn’t hear anything. Ushers are high school kids, mostly, they’re not going to do anything. Twice the option wasn’t to do anything about it but offer us refunds instead.
Granted, it’s been awhile. I was near to teenager age those 2 times.
