Can you read the ancient glyphs

I guess that would make knowyourmeme the modern Rosetta Stone

perhaps, but it will be indecipherable due to the 42gb of advertisements and pop-ups it loads.

ublock origin is going to be seen as a hero-like figure

Or the death of the Internet when 100% of people use ad blockers.

Knowyourmeme has ads?

If I become rich I will download the entirety of knowyourmeme and engrave it on a giant block of granite or carve it into the side of a mountain. Our descendants will thank me.

I have no idea who the person is or what the context of the photo was, but just the cat + box part tells me all I need to know.

Thanks I try to remember but this one slipped by

“I am not a bot, and this action was performed manually”

Why is that in quotes? Are you actually a bot?

Ha, I only knew the whispered line, never saw the conplete sketch. Brilliant.

Holy shit yeah having context makes it way different

It’s free real estate.

His memes spreading wide

Shakira, who’s hips spoke truth.

There’s gonna be that one academic weirdo in 1000 years who’s focus is “Memes and Internet History of the 21st Century”.

I’d bet money there are already ~~thesises(??)~~ theses (thanks, atomicorange!) and dissertations on this.

There’s def already stuff like interpreting use of emojis. For example sometimes you have text messages show up in a court case and there are people who can officially “interpret” what the emojis mean for the court.

At least some portion of that have to be grifters

Theses is the plural of thesis. Kinda looks stupid out of context but there you go.

And the Ship of Theses is when you rewrite the seven parts of your dissertation so many times that you’re not sure if it’s even your original intent anymore

A friend of mine wrote a dissertation on surreal memes a few years ago.

Oh, I’m sure there are plenty at the moment. It will just fade over time until it enters the same realm as something like “Clay Pots of Ancient Sites Found in The London Underground”.

Once I used a video meme to explain source studies and intertextuality to my students

With the proliferation of memes, that’s probably going to be its own branch of academic study.

So one of my great-great-great grandkids might be able to get a PhD in Memeology?

You can get that right now.

Memes didn’t start because of the internet. They’ve been around for a long time.
