Sorry to be a pain but can I ask that future postings be accessible please? By that I mean our blind members (who will be using screen reading software, so can read text but not text contained within images), along with low bandwidth or mobile users, will be able to make sense of the thread.
The Forum Rules state
Many thanks
Indeed, there should be some accompanying text so people unable to view the image can make sense of it.I can't view attachments via the app on my phonead:

Details of the source would normally be a hyperlink, and a comment could be very short, so "Based on a friends true story..." as posted above would be fine.

Just created this:
(With thanks to [post=2313288]Kite159[/post])
Creating a text version would be very complex, do I need to? Or is there software blind users can use?

That was a beast, fair dos. For the benefit of sight impaired and mobile users, it's basically a Venn diagram for Northern's Random DMU Generator. If backontrack is willing to put the effort in to put the textual version up, it is worth it!

is a "meme" a picture of someone famous in a certain pose with what is supposed to be a humorous caption around them?

via Imgflip Meme MakerThis applies to the many trip reports we get these days on here, as well as Red Pen 2015
Venn Diagrams have overlapping circles. What Backontrack has created is a flowchart!

Asking for a friend
According to wikipedia, a meme is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture"
Oh. Internet memes. You've more or less got the definition there. The picture isn't necessarily always someone famous (often it isn't!) but just an image, including but not limited to: animals, children, objects, people under the influence of drugs, etc

Such a dry definition!

Asking for a friend
Tell your friend - a meme is basically a running internet gag, it can be anything from a picture to a joke (the Rickrolling craze of a few years back) to a phrase (All Your Base was one of the first). Even activities, such as planking or the ice bucket challenge could be called memes, although the latter is more manufactured.
It usually refers, as in this thread, to familiar pictures which are re-used with captions on.
How each one comes to be so popular is lost in the mystique of the internet, a true meme originates so organically that no-one can ever really say where it started.

Yep, a flowchart.
Am I the first person to ever make a flowchart about Pacers?
I suspect that somewhere in Newton Heath, there is a flowchart about what part(s) to apply percussive maintenance to in the event of various breakdowns. And also probably one of these

That could work for DB Schenker.
"All your trains are belong to us" with the German government's logo superimposed on the top.

The one on the right made me laugh. What's in the bottle on the left?

Remember 'FENTON!' from a few years back? A perfect example of a meme.

That would be a great answer, but stupid me doesn't know what that means.
Having googled it, it's some kind of solution that displaces water to prevent corrosion.

It is also seen as the default solution to anything that has seized up, such as bolts, bicycle chains, gears, etc. No self-respecting mechanic or engineer should be seen without it!

Indeed although in this thread it's pretty much consisted of image macros

I have one of them on my desk, also stuck it onto a work site with some fitters from Vossloh Kippe, they'd seen it many times before...

Except that it can end up accelerating corrosion/wear on some bicycle parts (e.g. chains) (well, apart from the special bicycle formula/version). I tend to use other products on my bicycle.
