Everything is a meme now, hell even anyone could frame your comment and shit post it as a meme right now! (I won't be the one to do so).

The word meme is misused & I hate it. Ppl should know what memetics are.

This comment up till now isn't really (ok, the I hate it bit a little), but if I add 'you know that feeling of joy when you pet a cat' it would have a considerably stronger memetic effect on a lot (most?) humans. But its not funny as I didn't introduce a joke (sorry that I didn't introduce myself).

I get what you're feeling, but the word is not misused. Its meaning has changed :)

Before this even. We went wrong when dumb people took macro images and decided ideas needed packages that way for thought transmission to count as a meme.
