I think the exact same. Explorations of history, origin and meaning behind memes may seem silly at first, but some modern anthropologists study jokes from our ancient past and sometimes find them incoherent, scratching their heads trying to figure out context and meaning. That being said, the internet is not robust as it may seem. A lot of data degradation occurs everyday, and one day everything digital that once was, will have been replaced and erased. Physical data storage is still the way to go when you wish to preserve something for more than a few decades.
@@alfredandersson875 my favourite example of an incoherent meme is the one about the Sumerian Dog. "A dog walks into a tavern and said: I can't see a thing. I'll open this one!"

I love how memes can amalgamate into stuff like this. Taking different memes from different parts of the internet/world and having them combine into a completely unique meme.
This is the first I’ve heard of this cat, I knew about maxwell but thought that was a silly mod. Well done, you’ve continuously made me understand our current meme landscape despite the fact that I have never been on tiktok!
I think you are mixing this with something else Whatsapp chat is litterly between two Turkish kids. First kid who recorded the songs says listen it on double speed
The funniest thing is that the guy that made the oiiaioiiiiai sound is Turkish, what an honor that our country has participated on making an iconic meme! The guy's second message means "put it on 2x and listen"
7:37, that cat model, im pretty sure was made by a member of a discord server that is dedicated to GTA San Andreas modding and low poly modeling. It was modeled as a meme.
The cat actually had a sad story. The cat was blind, and they took a picture or something and put it on a platform and it turned into a meme and it’s owner tried to show it it but sadly, it couldn’t see its own meme because it was blind.
the "oo ee ee aah yi" sound is actually from a turkish chatroom screencap trying to mimick fnf vocals this is technically the second fnf-related meme ever edit: it's actually turkish
Could freaky sonic also technically be considered the biggest fnf meme? I mean the character used in it is the specific version of 2017 X That is set to be in the mod “Sonic Legacy”
I first encountered it yesterday in recommended as song cover (while im not listening to music at YT at all). This was actually the only brainrot content that i almost like, so i'm here learning what it is about.
I'm not really satisfied with what media I consume on internet, but when I understand that there's some brainrot like this being extremely popular and I've never ever seen it anywhere, it does give me some satisfaction
i feel like were getting to a point where brainrot might replace the word meme, or at the very least "brainrot" and "meme" become interchangeable terms
