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.

can someone explain the image in context to the original post to me?
Edit:
- [X] Image explained thanks @Tehnund
- [X] Text explained thanks @Lena
- [X] Image in context to Text explained thanks @Jankatarch
The long-distance relationship mostly conducted via text was going smooth but then it suddenly ended in a rough way as if wind from the video blew it over due to some TikTok direct messages.
Might have just been an AI the entire time, data-mining you for their future romance bots.
Oh! Nice analogy, thanks!
"Image in context to Text": Cause both situations are unexpected and unpleasant.
We have collected all the ~~infinity stones~~ explanations
But they are then ultimately unrelated to each other? The image could have been a poop emoji and the post would have conveyed the same message?
The long-distance relationship, which was mostly conducted via text (so they haven't met in real life), came to an end due to some TikTok direct messages.
A professor of mine posited that most every sentence ever spoken or written had never before been communicated. There was some compelling math behind it, and some compelling reason it was mentioned, but I still find it dubious.
Your professor massively underestimates how much of what I say is movie references.
He probably assumed the sentence selection to be a statistically independent process, which it is not.
but "most" only needs to be 50% of sentences, and if you include puncutation, tone, context, speed, accent, cadence, pauses, pitch, volume, intent, method/medium, background noise...
For "written", most of those don't apply though.
"Hello, how are you?" has been repeated plenty. But after that things start to vary.
In the sequence of numbers 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9... Most numbers only appear once even though most numbers are a repeat.
- There are 9 possible numbers and most (88%) of them are not repeats
- "1" accounts for most (60%) of the entries in the sequence.
If we assume "hi, how are you?" is "1" and most sentences are another number, we can see how even with common phrases being repeated frequently, most sentences may tend to be original.
(I've not done the math and I've definitely not studied language enough to say how dubious or accurate the claim is, you just piqued my interest and I started trying to rationalize it all)
At the same time the infinite monkeys with typewriters are also writing novels about it
Ok buddy
