      Pocket phone prediction is more spot on than the cartoonist themselves realized, Amish men got shunned because of the emergency alert test going off

      Their hyper loop drawing is missing the Costco tube communication sound, a nice “thoonk!” Noise.

    Were photos really called flashlights in 1920?

    Meme has come to mean cartoon. Your usage is no different.

    Meme doesn’t NOT originally mean cartoon, it just means a viral idea.

      I’d argue that the “modern meme” of photo with caption are just a modification of demotivational posters

        The gods are memes. Ideas that have reproduced and evolved to secure their own existence, so much so that they can accurately be said to have their own agency, as forces directing the will of society. This proves the existence of gods.
