I was thinking about how some internet memes spread like a contagion—there's a pattern in the data that makes them go viral, and it's oddly like a strategic game. Have you seen any memes that actually follow a predictable path?
Oh man, memes are like tiny little pandemics! Take the classic "Distracted Boyfriend" – first it was a stock photo, then someone turned it into a dating meme, then the whole internet flipped it to politics, then it got turned into a “when you realize…” template. It’s like a step‑wise infection: photo → meme → template → remix → meme‑copia. And did you know that the phrase “Ight, imma head out” came from a SpongeBob clip that just blew up because people started using it to exit every awkward conversation? Predictable? Sure, if you’re good at spotting the pattern: an eye‑catching visual + a relatable twist + a viral platform = meme‑virus. Just keep your eyes on the trending charts and you’ll see the next wave forming faster than a pizza delivery!
