A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

They don’t pay cops to think. In fact, I don’t think they even pay cops to recover stolen bikes.
No they don't care. It's why bike thieves are such assholes, there's barely any money to be made off it at massive inconvenience for the bike owner but they do it because they know 99% no one comes after them.
i bet a bike thief could steal a bile in front of a cop and the cop would simply look the other way
If this is Cambridge in the UK, both times I reported a bike theft, they confidently told me that they recover and return most stolen bikes. They absolutely do not recover or return most stolen bikes. Bike theft is so rarely sorted out by the police in Cambridge that nearly no one bothers reporting it as everyone knows their bike is gone forever, even if they parked it in good view of a CCTV camera and the frame was engraved with contact details all over.
In america at least cops can’t have an IQ that’s too high or they won’t get the job. They want people smart enough to do the capitalist class’s bidding but dumb enough not to question anything.
The official reason is that if you're too smart, the menial repetitive nature of most police work will get boring and you'll quit. The rationale being they didn't want to invest in training if you aren't going to stick around.
This is a fun fact considering you need to be a cop before you can be a detective.
They actually screen for people who do think, and disqualify them from being police officers.
