A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

It's also not something you can just ignore. Eventually you'll damage/destroy your engine.
Cam position sensors are cheap and generally easy even for a beginner to replace, so if I were you I'd stop putting it off and just get it fixed.
Eh that depends on how the system is set up. If injection isn't based on the cam position at all, no real worries. If the car also needs precisely timed injection, you're in trouble. Variable valve timing and stuff will probably complicate this as well. I don't think I've ever had that in a car, my petrol engines have mostly been old beaters where the timing system is much simpler.
Personally I drive a common-rail diesel. It wouldn't even start with a bad cam sensor I suspect, because it needs to know the exact moment to inject fuel straight into the cylinder. But then my old Chrysler 300M was a car that, in my case had a bad crank sensor (so needed to be replaced for sure), but a lot of the guys who had bad cam sensors just kept driving till they got the new part. Which often took time.
