    I mean per my previous comment: define “inside” “joke” “shared” “internet” “certain number” “agree” “one mind” “another mind”…

    I could email myself the letter “e” and then say “this is funny” to myself and it would meet this definition

        Myself at two different points in time could be considered “two minds”: my mind now, my mind at the point of sending the email, especially if the time period involved is a long time and I forgot about it.

        Failing that I could email it to anyone - they don’t even need to recieve the email as the qualia of receiving the communication wasn’t specified in the definition.

        Reminder my original point was that eventually this conversation will lead to aporia.

          The mind in your past has ceased to exist. The content of that email remains in one mind, it just a different one, by your definition.

          They do need to receive it and read since it has to at the very least enter their minds and ideally they have to think it’s funny/interesting/worth sharing/etc.

            one mind… just a different one

            My point exactly. But ignoring that?

            they have to receive it

            Define recieve, is inbox OK? Is a glance ok? Do they have to understand it? (Is an Italian meme a meme if I don’t speak italian?)

            You were saying the OP wasn’t a meme, but it was recieved by at least you and me, and unknowably countless others.
