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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

My kids will just say to their friends "oh it's on Plex, do you have Plex?"
More helpful than my daughter, who I recently overheard say "Its on my dads jelly, you should make your dad ask my dad about his jelly"
Tell us about your jelly
I'll be honest here... I didnt correct her. I'm waiting to see if he ends up asking me so I can say something super ridiculous first just to mess with him
Feel free to practice with us
Also feel free to toss out ideas
So far ive got:
- Pretend like its super secret and like I'm afraid people will find out
- Pretend I caught a jellyfish and kept it
Thats about it.
Turns out jellyfish regularly have active subscriptions to all the streaming services. If you manage to catch one, you can use its accounts.
Peanut butter and jelly ... Something something
I do not have a banana costume, but i do have some baggy bright yellow clothes I could put on...
Jumbo Entertainment something something something fucking insane super holder?
JELLY: Jailtime Entertainment Leisure Lexicon (Yay)
I don't think we're ready.
It’s time to move to Jellyfin!
I bought the lifetime pass in 2014. Don't have a reason to move just get
Same, and there’s nothing that compare to PlexAmp at this point from any competitor.
If I do switch, it would probably be to Emby.
Who needs to sail the high seas when your local library has a great set of blu-ray and dvd and you can rip it just like you like it! I love having the commentary and extras too.
"Who's Steve the Pirate?"
"The only guy on the team dressed like a pirate?"
"There's a guy dressed like a pirate on the team?!"
Alan Tudyk?
Yup. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story is now your homework assignment. You'll thank me later.
Ever since I started listening to the spacemen podcast I keep noticing Alan in so many movies I've seen ages ago.
Also if any kids ask him "have you been in anything I've seen?" he can literally reply "have you heard of Disney?"
The man is an absolute beast of an actor
My favorite behind the scenes moment:
Just a fun romp of a podcast.
Convinced me that it's been far too long since I rewatched Resident Alien.
I was really disappointed when Resident Alien was cancelled. It's a good show.
Same. But at least it had a good run.
Oh I remember now, If you dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. I haven't seen it since I was a kid.
A bold assignment.
Let’s see if it pays off for him.
I think people here drastically overestimate the percentage of the population who has a desktop computer.
iOS folks sre shit out of luck here, Android can torrent. Actually I think with debrid you could also use stremio on iOS, but I'm not too sure. Lastly, you could run a seedbox.
Oh and circling back to stremio, you can run that on android tv. Have an old TV? Even better, get an android stick.
Good luck torrenting with a cellular connection tho
You can still have Wi-Fi at home even if you don't own a computer with a desktop OS on it. Additionally, if you have an unlimited plan or just a very high data cap, it's not a huge issue to torrent. May need a VPN though so you wouldn't have a hundred connections, but just one.
Before they finally dragged fiber to my ass, but after I'd got tired of 10 mbps copper, I had an outdoor LTE antenna with an unlimited data plan for my sole internet connection at home. It was a bit unstable and speed varied from 10 mbps to 150 or 200 mbps (I think. it's been a while), but at least it worked. Plus I'd do most of my torrenting overnight so it wouldn't affect other people on the same network cell as much.
Gotta pump up those numbers.
Yeah would love to know how that's going actually.
I asked my kid if he'd not be better off with a console, as he plays those games, but he was like you'd have to pry my PC from my dead fingers! So there's one or two at least, but I guess it's a dwindling number.
You can still use streaming sites and DDL with vlc
Garr.
It be Average Joe's
Harrr!
Real friends share their media server ❤️
Gar.
Aye, there be other means, for them as has 'em.
Ah, the freedom (and the boredom) that comes from boycotting all the arts
