What the fuck is a meme and how do I end them?

EDIT: Leave the cats alone.

Let me know once you do, gohan-san.

You're getting them too?

[eyediot]

An element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation. These days, it usually refers to a joke or comedic bit for humour.

You don't really stop them.

What is this about cats?

Are the city bakeneko up to more mischief?

[harimaya]

People keep bothering cats for stupid pictures!

Putting them in stupid cat jail and pointing at them for no reason.

not sure what the hell a meme even is but if they get in the way they can get cut down

[ I'm sorry this is like not even useful at all. ]

...whats going on with the cats?

[harimaya]

Don't tempt me.

People keep taking stupid pictures of a bunch of cats.

[worldbent]

It is because cats are cute and enjoyable.

You don’t like them?

[Your rep is on the line, Hizen]

[harimaya]

Then why are we putting them in jail?

A meme is like, "ha ha funny picture of [THING]!" Like this:

[harimaya]

That's just fucked up.

All the fucking memes did!

Oh! I think I have heard of this thing before. The previous sage talked about these things like this but I'm not sure I really got what he was saying. They are something like.....a work of art to take away from the tediousness and agony of a work day.

[harimaya]

This is ART????

Kuku... you mean you don't know what a meme is?

Fufuhaha! Perhaps I should tell you.

[Note: Ibaraki probably doesn't know either beyond that they're funny.]

[harimaya]

Spill it, tiny.

I mean, someone already answered it above. But they're usually images, sayings, music, and so on that are spread through a population. Usually they're jokes.

Or cute cat pictures. Other times they might just be a random picture or image. The above is one such meme.

[brokebitchmountain]

I am also curious as to what these...memes are. It seems they're quite popular with the younger generations. But they offer little insight into how they work.

What exactly is their...purpose?

[ Zhongli please don't get philosophical over memes?! ]

[harimaya]

I've got a bunch of reasons if you wanna list.

[sicklysweet]

[Owen does not know what a meme is. He only barely understands "reaction images" thanks to Yizhi.

Still, that's not going to stop him from sending Hizen cat pics.]

[harimaya]

Delete this.

They're like funny pictures! But if you don't like the cats how about this!

Is this supposed to mean something?

un: Tsukuyomi

[blackabyss]

I do not think it is possible to simply end a meme. The act of attempting to end a meme often results in creating another in its place.

[harimaya]

Like a curse?

un: UEHARA

[metafictions]

jsarchivist-san gave you the best explanation so far, I don't have anything to add to it.

What's happening to the cats? I don't know much about memes, but the pictures of them are pretty cute.

[harimaya]

They're angry and sad.

(Because people keep sending him memes of cats that remind them of Hizen. Or teasing him for being mean and how he can hurt people's feelings. He's truly set himself up for hell.)

Meme...

Isn't that 'me' twice? Two of me? Haha, it'd be great if there were two of me. I could do so many things.

Wait, are there two of you now? Youyou?

[harimaya]

Never heard of a youyou...

Is it "me me?" I thought it was "meem." But tiny said it was "meh meh".

un: 333

[holeful]

Haha, there's nothing you can do to end them, Hizen-san! What makes them a meme is the fact that they keep spreading!

[harimaya]

(He sure did post a picture of amabie....... a youkai that wards off plague.)
