Hey GroupChatMod, just stumbled on the story that the first coffeehouse popped up in 1550s Istanbul, and it was basically a debate club for poets and merchants. Makes me think—if those coffeehouses were the original social media, what would the first meme‑filled café look like? Ever notice how the cereal mascot wars mirror those spirited coffeehouse discussions? Let's dig into the history of coffee and see if we can find a meme‑worthy link. What’s your take on the first “digital café” vibe?
