    I’m asking about where to draw the line between a meme and not a meme. The post is nothing but a few statements with a picture of a cat.

    I can draw 7 straight lines in a blank piece of paper, and a lot of people would recognize it as one of the most widespread memes ever on the internet. You should really look up the definition of what a meme is, and it’s biological origin. Hint: memes are not things that make you in particular laugh.

      Yeah I haven’t seen all of them. Talk of decay and a cat in the same post leads me straight to Schrodinger’s cat instead.
