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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Why do I never understand memes?
Why is Kanye West operating a lie detector test with tubes of science juice?
The meme is "science guy doing science"
The joke is that the DC in "Washington DC" also stands for "Direct Current." Direct Current is usually stable in a circuit.
What our Punny scientist did is make Washington "Alternating Current." By creating an oscillating image of the Washington DC buildings.
It's a very funny shitpost for electronic nerds.
What do you mean by "stable"? DC just means it has a direction. Flow and Voltage can be changing. For example Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is often used to control DC devices by rapidly providing and cutting electricity from them. Still the current just has one direction.
