Stacker hunted through internet resources, pop culture publications, and databases like Know Your Meme to find 50 different memes and what they mean. Online forums like Tumblr, Twitter, 4chan, and Reddit are responsible for a majority of meme infections, and with the constant posting and sharing, finding the source of an original meme is easier said than done. Just when you've grasped the meaning of one hilarious meme, it has already become old news and replaced by something equally as enigmatic. With the infinite number of memes scattered across the internet, it's hard to keep track. Some memes are created just for fun by creative or bored internet users, but others are made with the explicit intention of going viral to promote political ideas. Apart from assembling a definitive list of the world's favorite memes, the academic study also explored the influences (both positive and negative) that memes have on different communities. A team of scientific researchers from University College London, Cyprus University of Technology, the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and King's College London came together in September 2018 to research the internet's most popular memes. Where did they come from? More importantly, what do they mean? Even modern science is hopping on the meme train. Memes have always come with an air of mystery, intriguing and confusing even the most computer literate. The dictionary editors officially added the entry along with “emoji” and “clickbait” to the formal dictionary in May 2015. "I only had two." "I haven't had a drink in a week.Merriam-Webster defines “meme” as “an idea, behavior, style, or usage that spreads from person to person within a culture” or “an amusing or interesting item (such as a captioned picture or video) or genre of items that is spread widely online especially through social media.” That definition hasn't been around forever-it hasn't even been around for five years. Rationalization: The alcoholic explains his excessive drinking in a way that makes it more acceptable."I don't drink as much as Charlie, and he's not having any problems." "At least I'm not drunk all day like my dad was." Making comparisons: The alcoholic may excuse his drinking to himself or others as being a normal pattern or not as excessive as another person's."Yeah, I need to cut back." "This is my last drink." False agreement: The alcoholic agrees that he has a problem and to take action, but never does."Let's not talk about this now, okay?" "Stop nagging me about drinking." Dismissing: The alcoholic refuses to talk about his drinking or dismisses it as not a real problem."It's my body and my life, it's nobody else's business." Defensiveness: The alcoholic defends his drinking as a choice."No, that's just breath freshener you smell." "Yes, I stopped at the bar, but just to say hi to the guys." Concealing: The alcoholic begins to hide his drinking from others and deny that he is drinking when they ask him about it."She makes me so mad I have to have a drink." "If my job wasn't so frustrating, I wouldn't need a drink." "It's just bad luck that the cop stopped me after I left the bar." Blame: The alcoholic blames his drinking on other people, situations, or bad luck.
