    Whoa… I realize I am old now that the word “meme” no longer means “meme” in any way, shape, or form. It’s a totally different thing now? See: “Forced meme”

    tl;dr: this is not a meme

      If you don’t think this is a meme, then you don’t know what memes are. And if you did know what memes are, then you wouldn’t say that my meme isn’t a meme.

      You’re not old too old; OP just doesn’t know what a meme is.

          I remember when trolling meant something! It used to be about making people mad, evolving emotion, and getting them embroiled in embarrassing positions they can’t take back! Now it’s just saying wrong thing and being politely corrected!

          I am not.

          A meme is, by definition, something that is being copied, spread and reused. In order for this to be an “original meme,” it needs to be the origin of a new meme format, which will then be copied and iterated on, usually by re-using the language or re-using the physical format.

          You just posted your shitty opinion in speech bubbles and called it a meme, because you don’t know what a meme is.
