    Depending on whether or not the meme is dank, memes can survive a few years. Less dank memes tend to die out after anywhere from 1 week to 2 months. All in all, the danker the better, my dude.

    Are memes bad for your health?
    Banana Head

    Absolutely not! Memes have almost no effect on your health. The only way they can affect you is if you spend too much time creating or viewing memes, and you'll spend too much time indoors and staring at a computer screen. And if you have an obsession and don't think about school/work/family anymore, that's not healthy. Other than that, memes don't affect your health at all. Create and view as many as you want!

    The origin of the meme goes back to Richard Dawkins, who described a concept, belief, or idea that could spread from person to person quickly to be rapidly disseminated. The original term was mimeme, which became shortened to meme. Over time, the concept has been applied to images and graphics that are shared online and spread quickly through the internet. Memes can be funny, sad, informative, and many other things.
  • Question
    What is the difference between a meme and a GIF?
    Drew Hawkins1
    Community Answer
    Technically, a GIF can be a meme. A meme is an image or graphic that gets circulated around the internet and is viewed by lots of people. They can be funny, sad, political, motivational, or anything else. GIF stands for "Graphics Interchange Format," and is a short, 2-3 second video clip without volume. They can be anything from a short reaction of someone being surprised or a piece of moving graphic art. So, a GIF can be spread around so much that it becomes a meme.
