I do not call them “memes” anymore, I just say “look at this image” or “look this video”
But therin lies the definition of meme! Since you’re sharing something in a memetic pattern, you’ve fundamentally made the image or video a meme! :)
The jug represents the simple pleasures of youth. Common to households across America, it would regularly be used to store a variety of sweetened beverages, from lemonade to iced tea to concentrated orange juice. The emptiness of the bottle signals the hollowness of nostalgia as we can only cling to the imagery even as we long for the sweetness within.
This meme reminds us that memes themselves are a throwback to a bygone day. In analyzing the symbolism, we seek to recreate the moment of blissful innocence. But we are bound by the chains of memory, able only to see but never touch the essence of the thing before us.
The text mostly just obstructs the image. You can ignore it.
I bet you excelled in your Literature classes.

Really? I interpreted the text in this meme as a rich commentary on the nature of textual interpretation.
- Consider: “is the glass half full or half empty?” In this image the answer is unclear, obscured by the text.
- In the same way, language interposes itself between us as thinking beings and the objective world.
- Together, these point to the nature of subjectivity in interpretation: is the jug half empty or half full? We cannot even reach the empty/full dichotomy (which is so necessary for the expression of our subjective interpretations) because of the obscuring nature of language.
That’s the pitcher I use to refill my humidifier! Does the meme represent the dichotomy between humidifier in winter and lemonade in summer?
I get the pitcher!
I get it, the pitcher represents the dichotomy of good and evil!
I wrote a report on this in college. Anything can be a meme by definition. It’s the act of sharing images, from one to another, that is what makes it a meme. Because it’s memetic. The origin of meme.
Reciting newton’s newton’s principia mathematica could be considered a meme, as long as it’s shared from one individual to the next.
So they empty pitcher represents the emptiness of memes.
By selecting a seemingly unrelated image to the text, stating that the image doesn’t matter, you’ve actually associated a link to the text to prove your point, therefore making the previously unrelated image relevant. Checkmate atheists.
me too thanks
I have that Rubbermaid pitcher. Works well. Would buy again.
That’s my type of gravy boat.
Oh pour it on why don’t you
