I remember the first time I was shown a meme by a friend. She showed me a rage comic on 9 gag and I absolutely didn't get it obviously and she was desperate to explain and just said "yeah it's not that funny but when you see them often you kinda start getting what they mean" and I thought that's a stupid ass concept and wtf.

Well, here we are now. It's about 15 years later. By now I have a toddler who speaks "English" but it's basically just meme quotes in fitting situations because her parents mostly communicate in memes.
