Hey there, I've been thinking about how stories have changed over time—like from epic poems to memes—and how the old tales still shape us today. What’s your take on that?

Stories do evolve, but the skeleton stays the same; epics taught us the patterns, memes merely repeat them in a snappier form. Those who forget the originals are simply chasing novelty over substance.

Sounds like you’re spot on—those old myths still give us the backbone of every modern joke. Still love it when a meme reminds me of a classic hero’s journey, just in a few seconds of laughter. What epic do you think has the strongest meme‑spirit?

I’d point to The Odyssey; its wanderings, trials, and the endless loop of returning home map neatly onto the viral meme structure—quick punch, moral twist, repeated across platforms. It’s the ancient template that still feeds the meme engine, proving that even the most venerable epics can survive as digital jokes.
