A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

But I had just spent days mentally preparing for the plans!! At least give me a weeks notice!
As an autistic person, that will be my take. I do not like people changing plans. I don't care if they say the sea is "unsafe" and we should "run for the hills". We said we were going to the beach, so we're going or help me god just run me over with your car.
(Yes I'm always Gone With The Wind-level of overly dramatic, but my friends say it is entertaining.)
That's where I'm coming from too. Who cares that we're getting record rainfall this weekend. We planned to go canoe camping so we're loading the canoe on the car, putting our bathing suits on, buying the waterproof map from the park office and we're going canoe camping!!
There was a news article I read maybe a decade ago. I'm probably forgetting a few details, but heres the jist:
Down in Florida there was a closed beach. The beach was open certain months, but this was not that month.
The reason the beach was closed was because inside the little pond/swamp/finger lake were alligators in mating season.
This beach also had fences blocking access. Meaning even to get on the beach you had to jump a fence that was covered in warning signs.
So this dumbass shows up to the beach, puts his towel down by the water, and is just about to get in the water.
Cop pulls up on the other side of the fence, and starts yelling they need to get out of there, that they are in danger.
Guy ignores him and starts walking towards the water. Cop is yelling the water is filled with alligators, and it's 6pm, so it's feeding hour. He is in danger even being on the beach at all, but going in the water is certain death.
Guy gets in the water while yelling "FUCK THE ALLIGATORS!"
No sooner had he yelled that when his body was ripped violently underwater. Blood filled the water, and a feeding frenzy had ensued. His body ripped to shreds while his family, still on the beach cried on for the cop to do something. The cops simply told them "there is zero chance I am crossing this fence. If you were smart, you wouldn't be on that side either."
Was that you? Did you once get ripped to shreds by alligators because you made plans to go to the beach?
Everyone down voting a story about alligators ripping a.dude apart in front of his family by a person called Lost_My_Mind. What is the fediverse coming to?
