“Ha ha, sounds like good fun, Stevenson! That reminds me, I need to show you this webpage I found the other day it contains numerous animated dancing hamsters. You could talk about them around the proverbial water cooler, taking comfort in their absurdity: “Hey, Johnston, have you seen the picture of that cat? They call it Longcat because it’s long!” Nobody made memes, they just arose through spontaneous generation Athena being birthed, fully formed, from her own skull. Memes were floating signifiers without signifieds, meaningful in their meaninglessness. Water is wet, fire is hot, Longcat is long. “Longcat is long.” An undeniably true, self-reflexive statement.
Fuck whatever we were talking about, I want to talk about Longcat.
