I hereby propose the Lemmy Institute of Memetics where we will experiment with meme mutations and see which evolutions have the most mental stickiness and sharability.
You know it would probably be best to base it in the USA and start it as a superPAC. Our campaign finance laws are so corrupt it could be a nearly tax-free endeavor!
Memes don't have rules.
Memes are not just silly pictures. It's whatever idea that gets transmitted and repeated.
Doing a handshake when you meet someone is a meme.

Points for accuracy! The meme is the doctor. The monster is the meme's creation. I'm not sure what this tells us about OP.
