  • This is for internet memes, not cultural memes. Those are two different things

    Nope, Internet memes are cultural memes

    and this doesn’t even fit the description of a cultural meme

    Also wrong

    This is a screenshot of political opinion

    Which is an idea that is spreading, and thus a meme

    Memes are like genes, that’s why the names are like that









  • If so, what’s the purpose of the money?

    Barter and trade will always be part of humanity unless we somehow manage post-scarcity. Money is so far the best way we’ve found to manage and track the value of things for that system.

    If people are choosing to buy things, that’s a free market

    No, it’s just a market, and even then that’s not a guarantee at all. It could be that people just trade money for valuables amongst themselves, or other systems I’m too stupid to conceive of

    If people are forced to buy specific things, it’s not really buying

    Yes, it is? Its only not buying if you don’t trade money for it, ie the government sending it to everyone for free

    If people are free to buy certain things but new people aren’t allowed to enter the market with new products, that’s just worse than capitalism.

    Good thing that’s not anyone’s suggestion


  • I think it’s also used to refer to revving up one’s motorcycle

    Specifically a hog is a Harley (or really any touring bike now), large, slow turning, and they start with H, and yeah you could call racing the engine (the vroom vroom throttle thing) cranking, though that’s more of an action on older motorcycles you’d do to actually start the thing

    The term from male masturbation actually comes from crank-start engines










  • I fucking love the water cooler heaters, mine does ice cold on one side and boiling on the other and it’s heavenly to have both immediately ready with water other than my horrifically heavy (and thus fuzzy) tap water

    I got mine for less than $60 at Walmart like 5 years ago and it’s still going strong, highly recommend to anyone
