The memes are reproducing
That’s what the word “meme” used to mean, a running gag where the same punchline or content was reused in different ways.
Pretty sure meme has always meant the concept of “a concept that is understood visually and spreads that way” and has been modified colloquially online to mean what we see it now.
Not necessarily visual, the great edgelord used meme to mean “cultural behaviour passed through information” , and he used it to shit on religion.
I’m not joking.

And then they had sex
In different ways.
