  • The definitions you provided are associated with the meme definition coined by Richard Dawkins. The only definition that is somewhat inline with the one commonly referenced in internet culture is the 1st one under Merriam Webster.

    Memes are often funny, but can also not be funny (i guess the better phrasing is some memes can have a different intention other than being funny) which is why i gave a special pass to "oh-so-relatable" memes. This post isn't a meme because it elicits no real response other than agreement or disagreement with the message. It might be a joke, but not all jokes are memes.

    Colloquially speaking however, memes nowadays can be considered anything posted in image format with some text. Which is why, although not funny, wholesome memes are considered memes.

    I'm enforcing the literal interpretation of memes.

  • Meme - Media, usually humorous, which is copied and circulated online with slight adaptations, such as basic pictures, video templates, etc.

    There are other similar definitions there that are in line with my opinion.
