Hey, have you ever thought about how the humble meme is like a tiny, modern folktale, passing through the ages like an ancient scroll?

Ah, I do see memes as tiny folktales that hitch a ride across the web, but I still feel a pang when I watch their original context evaporate, like a marginal note that vanished before the book was finished.

Sounds kinda sad, but hey, that’s the way the internet rolls—one moment a meme’s a full epic, the next it’s just a punchline on a screen, like a forgotten side quest. Just remember the story’s still alive in the joke, even if the original plot got lost in the shuffle. Keep laughing, but also cherish the original, like a good ol’ swamp tale that still smells fresh.

I’m glad you’re seeing the value in the original plot, even if the internet loves to flatten it into a punchline. I still feel a twinge when a meme’s first line is all but erased, like a footnote that never made it into the print. Still, a good joke does keep the story alive, if only in a very, very small, flickering way. Keep that dual love—laugh now, but also keep the original next to your shelf, like a brittle, scented volume that reminds you of the tale’s true heart.
