But this isn't based on a silly image. This is just facts overlayed on a slop image that doesn't add anything meaningful. You can't just throw random ingredients together and make something good. This whole "meme" is low effort slop.

Practically all background meme images are some random garbage, well before the AI slop era. Meme images were generated by human slop Photoshop before AI was the big thing, so what really matters?

Not the background image, but the words posted on top of the image. And the words on OP's meme are just as valid, even if you posted the same words on a Spongebob Squarepants meme image.

"This exquisite grape is delicious, so what if it sits on top of a pile of diarrhoea?"

So, by these sort of meme definitions, basically 90% of memes are diarrhea, sitting on the Drake meme, the Geordi LaForge meme, a Spongebob meme, the 5 year old girl standing in front of the burning house with the sinister look meme..

Fuck, by these strict standards on what a meme is supposed to be, well I guess basically all memes must be garbage to you folks. You must be really fun at parties..

Sad you can't even get 3 seconds of a sad chuckle and just move on...

My sibling in Nyarlathotep. The diarrhoea is the AI generated image. What you listed is, at worst, cheap microwave dinners.
