I do it all the time too and I've been self conscious about it and I didn't even know people thought it was a meme. I just sort of assumed I said it so much that people would find it annoying.

I do not receive notifications, so using the @ feature will not do anything. I might see your post and respond though if I have already been in the topic.

It's similar to "basically" when explaining something even without reducing the complexity.

"A beehive is basically a place where bees live, reproduce, and make food."

I mean "I like to think" can just be "I think" if you're so worried about the economy of your sentences

"What does it add though" can just be "what does it add"

I mean, I like to think that I like to think adds an implication to the sentence.

What is I mean though?

I mean, its a meaningless particle.

I use it a lot and it definitely means something to me though I'm having a hard time putting my finger on exactly what

it's kind of a connection to whatever you said previously but I'm not sure what that connection is, exactly. you'd never just start a completely new thought out of nowhere with it

I mean, shit

note: why the fuck does gamefaqs censor modified swear words but not the swear word itself?

Profanity filter. The actual word gets censored for those who it turned on while modified ones don't, so you can still get popped for censor bypass.

It's similar to using things like "Well" or "So, like" before starting a sentence. A sort of filler/indicator that you're about to say something - the function is more for spoken conversation, of course, but nowadays I'm sure many of us tend to type like we speak.

This might just be Sturgeon's law talking, but the "nobody: " memes are not improved by that presence.

Literally just crop those lines and the meme is just as good or bad; aka, they suck and Nobody serves no function as a setup.

I never understood the premise of the "Nobody" meme. It seems to imply that the person who ends up speaking is completely alone, which is usually not the intent. Also, I would think that nobody can't say nothing.

It would make more sense if this were the format:

Me:
Everyone:
Me: I mean, apples are green

This meme is stupid and I can't think of a single example where adding that caption contributed to the humor in any way
