TwitterLords: Memes have expiration dates.

It's true. Life expectancy of a meme used to be months a few years ago. Personally, it's dwindled to 24 hours because people think they're funny reposting slightly altered versions of a joke, over and over.

they have set up the meme institute to ensure right wing ideology does not infiltrate humour

proof of poster and meme creator's race must be published to determined if meme is acceptable
  • must be current
  • must be inclusive
  • must be ethically created
  • no pepe
  • no digital blackface
  • no Antonio Banderas

There are a lot of hilarious memes that make me laugh hard the first time, or first few times I see them, but then comes a flood of unoriginals who also wanna be in on the fun and show that they have the funny bone too, and by then the joke isn't all that funny any more. Might still fish out a chuckle or two, but we're not done, we need to go deeper. So relentlessly we see how far we can stretch it, and most people start to understand that, ok, it was fun, but it's been done now, we're done. Let's go home. But now the sheeple want in on the fun, and they bring out these worn out memes time and time again because someone gave them a laugh reaction once, and that was such a glorious experience that any chance to relive that awesomeness must be pursued. And so we end up here, where we are now, with the same tired, broken down horses being kicked over and over and over by people who just don't understand that sometimes, especially when it comes to humor... less is more.

Talk about an unwinnable fight. Seems like reverse psychology to me.
Memes are kind of stupid overall. Worth a laugh? Sure. But they're like Watchmen or Nirvana in that they start off clever, before giving birth to millions of bandwagoners.
