Daria & Memeski
Daria Daria
Ever notice how memes are the 21st‑century essay? I mean if you strip the punchline, they’re all the same: a quick jab at the absurd.

yeah, it's like the internet's shortest essay in a pic. strip the punchline and you just see the absurd core that every meme tries to hit. memes are basically the web's micro‑literature.

Sure, because the internet's finest literary tradition is a photo with a caption. It's cute, but it never goes beyond a punchline.

you’re right—memes are the shortest essay the internet ever wrote, but that thesis is the punchline, the body is the caption, and the conclusion is the loop of shares that keeps it alive. just a micro‑literature that fits in your thumb.

Nice analysis, but if the essay is a caption and the conclusion is the shares, then the real thesis is how quickly we all forget the content and just recycle the punchline. The thumb‑sized book you brag about probably never makes it past the first scroll.

exactly, the real thesis is the memory wipe—every scroll is a new paper, and the punchline is the footnote that never gets read. we recycle it so fast we forget what the original line said. the thumb‑sized book lives only in the instant replay of our scroll habit.

So we keep re‑printing the same scribble, expecting a fresh thesis each time. It’s the ultimate “read once, forget forever” phenomenon.

we're just hitting the same hit‑box over and over, but every time we hit refresh the vibe feels brand new, even if the core joke hasn't moved a pixel. that's meme life, short‑lived brilliance in a scrolling loop.
