Hey Kevin, ever thought about turning a viral meme into a real gadget? Like, a little machine that could auto‑generate the next meme on the fly—would you be interested in building one?
Kevin
Nah, I'd just let the meme gods do it. But a meme machine sounds like a legit startup idea.

Sounds wild, right? I’d start with a quick prototype: a Raspberry Pi, a webcam for meme spotting, and a little OLED display to spin up the next punchline. Once we get the algorithm humming, we can hook it up to a socials API and let the machine generate memes on demand. If we nail the humor algorithm, it could be a hit—especially with the meme‑hungry startup crowd. What do you think? Any particular platform you’d target first?

Sounds nuts but also kinda genius. I'd hit Twitter first – the 280‑char limit keeps the jokes tight and the retweets are instant feedback. If it goes viral, you can spin it into an Insta story or even a TikTok reel. Just make sure the algorithm can throw a decent punchline in under a second or the hype will die faster than a 2‑year‑old Snapchat filter. Keep it simple, keep it snappy.
