Hey, Aztrosist
ASS BLASTER here.
What are memes
At first glance, that questions seems
well,  easy to answer
A meme is a cultural phenomenon that spreads through viral means
But are memes really all that simple?
The term "meme" was actually coined by the early Richard Dawkins
in the book "The Selfish Gene" in 1976
The original meaning was simply an attempt at
describing the way in which information is spread via culture
But, what is "culture"?
Well, a simple Google search would tell you
but I'm going to read it anyway :^)
Culture is defined as "the arts and other manifestations"
of, well, "human intellectual achievement regarded collectively"
Each individual human being creates and expresses
and all of this expression is collected
which creates a, well, CULTURE
But that makes you wonder, "what is a human being?"
Now it's not exactly that easy to take such a complex
well, thing and describe it so simplistically
Human beings are so complex there is so much going on inside of you
even while you're simply
well, watching this video, for instance
But what is Lorentzian distribution?
Augustin Cauchy created this distribution
and its importance in the physics field
is due to its solution to the differential equation describing forced resonance
But back to memes
Obviously, you can't just tell your mother you love her
and call that a meme
That isn't exactly spread through culture
Nowadays, we are more accustomed to what is known as
But what is "the Internet" anyway?
The Internet is kind of a scary place sometimes
The media and the outside world view it as a
malicious or even frivolous thing
Everyone online is angry or out to steal your "karma points"
But is this really how the Internet works?
because for many people this their way out
The Internet is our, well
SAFE SPACE
A self-proclaimed genius, with what he claims
a 180 IQ score, posted this on 4chan in 2011:
That really makes you wonder
"How close is our sun to exploding
and decimating humankind forever?"
Everyone knows planet Earth is round
or... is it?
Time is, well, relative
Are we alone or is there someone else out there?
People just like us
But what do these non sequiturs have to do with anything at all?
What was the title of this video?
Have I answered that question yet?
Or are you going to have to sit through 14 more minutes of this?
Is my fly undone?
The answer is yes
well, kind of
I'm not really wearing pants
So, in a way, my fly is technically undone
or, well, nonexistent because I'm not wearing pants
Theoretically, if I were to be wearing, let's say
Wrangler jeans, would my fly be undone at this very moment?
There's no real way to tell
That uncertainty makes me quiver
What is, well, life?
How many more questions do I have to ask this microphone
before we can stop shooting?
Have I gone insane?
Are mitochondria really the "powerhouses of the cell?"
Am I alive?
Is ANYONE alive?
Does my life really matter?
