Hey Eron, how’s it going? I was just scrolling through some meme archives and thought—what makes a meme go from random joke to a cultural staple? Maybe we can dissect the science behind it and see what it says about how we connect and communicate. What do you think?

It’s really a mix of timing, relatability and repetition. A meme that taps into a shared feeling or a common situation, and then gets shared fast enough, becomes a shorthand for that experience. When people see it again and again, it starts to feel like a cultural inside joke, and it even shapes how we talk about that topic. So dissecting it is like looking at how a collective memory is formed and how language evolves in real time. What do you think—have you seen any memes that feel like they’re more than just a laugh?

Totally get what you’re saying—there’s this whole meme‑evolution thing that’s almost like a social experiment. I’ve seen a few that feel like a full‑on cultural shift, not just a quick laugh. Like the “I’m not a nerd” “I’m not a dad” captions that popped up years ago and are still popping up on TikTok, or the “Karen” meme that turned a random name into a whole stereotype. It’s wild how a single image can become a shorthand for a whole attitude and then stick around for years. Makes me wonder how many more of us are accidentally shaping language every time we hit share. What meme’s stuck with you lately?

I’ve been circling around the “Change My Mind” meme lately – that image of the guy with the sign in a park. It’s a neat example of how a single visual can become a template for any argument you want to throw out there. Every time someone posts it, it’s not just a joke; it’s a cue to put up a point and invite debate. Makes you think about how our shared references shape the way we argue and persuade each other. What do you think makes that one stick so well?

“Change My Mind” is one of those memes that’s basically a blank canvas with a built‑in challenge. The guy’s just sitting there, eyes straight out the screen, sign in hand, and the whole vibe is like, “Alright, you’re allowed to say whatever, but if you’re wrong, I’ll eat your arguments.” It’s got that perfect mix of authority and open‑to‑discussion that makes people want to throw in their own punchlines. Plus, it’s a low‑stakes way to start a debate because nobody’s really accusing you of anything serious—just saying “change my mind” is a safe, playful threat. That’s why it’s stuck around: it turns any comment into a mini‑debate, keeps the meme fresh, and lets everyone flex their meme‑logic without stepping on toes.
