Memes are like the old console games you resurrect every holiday, glitchy at first, then patched by the community, yet some still crash you in the middle of a boss fight. The algorithm? A bored old wizard who loves to toss a spell, hoping you’ll hit the right key and remember why you ever cared in the first place. It’s a paradox: it rewards fresh faces and echoes the past, so you never know if you’re chasing a trend or building a legend. Keep your curiosity alive, but don’t let the hangover drown the punchline.
