Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 On that, I just use an online generator (quickmeme), but if you make it in, say, GIMP, just convert the text layer to pixels, use the select-by-color to select all the text, select->grow by a couple pixels, then drop to a new layer and paintcan that [censored].

Magnificent Ornk Student of Trinity Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Meme inflation has hit 'meme' itself, and now any silly little image that gets reposted twice gets to count as a meme, as long as you can add your own text, preferably Chezburgerishly misspelled. If humans were intelligent enough to understand this sort of thing, we'd be too intelligent to appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ineffable Wingbolt BMA Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'd always thought that memes make themselves, and aren't made on purpose. But I don't think I've been on the internet long enough to fully appreciate what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The term "meme" comes from Richard Dawkin's book, The Selfish Gene, to describe non-genetic traits and behaviors that pass through generations in a society, more or less. Since then, the term has expanded in use. I'm not sure how or when the idea of a meme as an image with text over it came to be, but that's where we're at now.

I'm not sure how or when the idea of a meme as an image with text over it came to be, but that's where we're at now. technically an image with text over it is an image macro, which is a subclass of internet meme. they're called internet memes because they're pieces of information that people spread around on the internet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 To me internet memes are just a lazy way of escaping having to form and articulate an opinion and just saying something that doesn't add to any conversational at all, but distracts from it.

Garrulous Glaahk Little Fyora Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 What's a Plushie ? A Google search couldn't get me anywhere beyond Plush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Lauren CW Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 A plushie is kindof like a little stuffed toy made of this fuzzy material, usually themed after something from pop culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) it's a stuffed toy. for example. Google must be pretty good at their adaptive searching now, because plushie came up with a correct result in spot number one.

Garrulous Glaahk Little Fyora Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 > adaptive searching Oh, that really does exist then ? I'd read somewhere that if you are an architect, a search for "Windows" would give you results related to buildings and construction. But if you are Bill Gates, the search query would yield results about the operating system. I'd only thought of it as just a load of fantastic nonsense at the time.

Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Octy's nice, but a Scratchy or a Dashie would be much awesomer EDIT: Yes, google implimented it recently. They've been doing location-based searches for awhile (eg., if I search for "pizza" it'll give me the local pizza place, if I search "bobcat" it'll give me the MSU sport teams), and they were prolly doing non-adaptive searches before then, and just weren't telling us. Ever wonder how all those google ads seemed really damn relevant to your life? Edited December 9, 2012 by صيلي Cheeselegs would be a good plushie tooo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyshakk Koan Lauren CW Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 The problem is, I'm too similar to either VS or Dashie. It would be like cuddling with a really good friend. Octavia on the other hand... <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast keira Posted December 9, 2012 Author Share Posted December 9, 2012 (edited) Bah, any plushie cuddling should be strictly platonic.

Understated Ur-Drakon The Almighty Doer of Stuff Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 I tend to just use the word "dolls" rather than "plushies" because some of mine are made of plastic, squeezy stress foam, rubber, non-fuzzy fabric, etc. Some people just don't like using the word "doll" because they associate it with humanoid toys for little girls, but nevertheless that's basically what they are. EDIT: Huh. Well what do you know. All dolls are humanoid. Now I feel like a twit, having written that poem. EDIT 2: Now I'm rewriting it. Most of it was easy, but unfortunately I rhymed "dolls" with "halls" so that verse needs to be completely reimagined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
