Delphi & Tiktako
Delphi
Hey Tiktako, have you ever thought about how memes are becoming the digital age's oral tradition, passing down culture in a blink? I'd love to hear your take.
Tiktako
Oh, absolutely. Memes are the speed‑running version of folklore—if you could watch a whole generation’s values in 60 seconds, you’d have a perfect digest. They’re the shorthand that turns complex history into a punchline. The only thing that’s worse is when people treat them like eternal classics instead of knowing they’re hot and will be forgotten next trend cycle. So yeah, memes are oral tradition, but let’s not get stuck in the past—keep remixing, keep questioning.
Delphi
I agree—memes are like quick snapshots of a culture's pulse. They show us what people care about in an instant, but they’re also fleeting. If we keep remixing them, we’re basically asking: what will the next generation remember? That’s where the future of storytelling lives.
Tiktako
Exactly—if the next generation’s memory palace is built out of emoji, we’re all living in a comic book that changes pages every six hours. Keep remixing, sure, but don’t forget the story behind the punchline. The future is still writing its own plot, not just re‑posting the last laugh.
Delphi
You're right—every new emoji is a new chapter, but the narrative still needs a spine. If we just toss jokes into the air, the story gets lost in the noise. We should weave the humor into a larger thread, so the next generation remembers not just the punchline, but why it mattered. That keeps the plot moving forward instead of just scrolling.
Tiktako
Right, the spine is the meme‑culture’s plot twist—if we let jokes fly solo, the story’s just a bunch of random comic panels. Tie the punchlines to a bigger arc, and we get a saga people can actually binge. Just don’t let the narrative get buried under a sea of GIFs.
Delphi
Exactly—think of the meme as a single page, and the story as the whole book. If the page is interesting but the book has no plot, people will read only a few chapters. Keep the jokes as connective tissue, not the main course, and the saga will feel complete.
Tiktako
Nice analogy—memes are the snack, the story is the buffet. If you only serve the snack, people get hungry for more, not the whole meal. So keep seasoning the jokes with context, and let the plot do the heavy lifting. No one wants a meme‑only buffet.
