Tell me.

What is a "meme"? What manner of thing is a "shitpost"?

Shitposting is a little hard to really describe since what exactly it means is just a little different for everyone, but personally I'd say if you search back through the network's history a bit, a lot of the stuff you see posted under the username '46692' feels like it.

A "meme" is kind of a thing that gets passed around a bunch of people and altered to convey some kind of meaning or feeling. It's kind of an emotional meaning rather than an objective one. Usually humor, but not always.

And a "shitpost" is a low-effort post that's often a meme itself, usually meant to troll people.

...I never had to actually explain this before to anyone and it took like twenty minutes to figure out how I even could.

As has been stated, the former is a concept that spreads across a group, society, or subculture, often a joke or joke format. Computer people know the answer.

The latter is a ridiculous statement made for humour and/or irritation. I think so, anyway. The word is much newer in comparison. I asked someone who had been displaced from time in a sense and was met with the response, "So like nightblogging?" I know not, though, as it is not exclusive to night.
