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.

HA! Fiction indeed.
Sometimes I'll be in an office building, or on a job site, or in a hospital room, or even just taking a big shit.
And I'll look around and think to myself "Everything here is man made. It all comes from people." And then I'll just kinda marvel at the productive and transformative nature of human beings.
In deep space, that only gets more true. The water you drink, the air you breath, the lights you see by - all the product of human enginuity.
ingenuity
You missed the point. Underpantsweevil made something new!
I've thought about this too. A few apes, after a long string of evolution, figured out how to bang the right rocks together to make a television...or even a microprocessor. And that's just one piece of modern tech that some ape figured out, centuries after another ape wrote the complete works it Shakespeare.
They made it make sense in the outer worlds
