Sometimes, I just wonder about things, and am glad we now have Google to tell us about them.
Today... out of the blue for some dumb reason, I wondered...
Where did the term meme come from ? *Googles:
[bold...my addition]
The term meme (from the Greek mimema, meaning “imitated”) was introduced in 1976 by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his work.
And here I thought it was a fairly new word. I was 13 years old when the word was first used

Re: Learned something new today thread :P
Not something I learned, but every time it’s time for bed I get all these random questions running through my head. Like, why do dogs like belly rubs? What causes hiccups? If tears are meant to hydrate the eyes, why do we cry when we’re upset? But it’s late and I should be going to sleep so I always decide not to pick up my phone to google it and I forget the question by the next morning.
