Have memes ruined discourse and made everyone stupid? Does use of memes correlate with higher stupidity? Discuss.

If you are already intelligent then memes ruined nothing. I am used to conversing on a higher intellectual level than most people. Meme speak has allowed me to be among the plebs, so to speak.

People who only speak through meme surely are stupid, yes. But that is because they already were stupid.

They're dumb, but people have always been stupid, Tik tok and other memes just make them go out of their way to do more stupid shit for clout

memes can make people pretty stupid tbh. they devolve a person's level of communication to nothing, eventually to be taken over by meme language. i see a lot of people like this on the internet.

memes are funny but better not overuse it, writing stuff is more interesting than posting a meme

And to this day, I'm still internally screaming at a former real life friend over Facebook: "Stop using reaction images like a fucking retard and use your fucking words, bitch."

every meme is stupid as shit... EXCEPT for the quiet kid memes, i love them so much. XD
"I suffered all my life. No one ever truly loved me. No one ever truly cared about me. I only loved one thing in my whole life and that was Christina Menefee. But she was torn away from me. I tried to save myself with [student’s name], but she never cared for me. As it turns out, she made fun of me behind my back while we were together. And all throughout my life I was ridiculed. Always beaten, always hated. [...] I am malicious because I am miserable."

"It was not a cry for attention, it was not a cry for help. It was a scream in sheer agony [...]"

A meme is funny until it gets old ofc. If you keep referencing an old joke then it gets annoying.

Memes do not make people stupid, they only highlight those who are stupid.

a meme can only be used so much before it gets stale.

Absolutely, they make every thing look trivial, propagate anti-scientific beliefs and binary political analysis. They stopped being funny around the epoch of this meme (the first one I know of, in the glorious times where the word did not exist):
