      I feel because it’s one where people are most creative. I love being surprised by something that turns out to be yet another loss meme. The origin is quite stupid/boring, but it has become such a great versatile meme.

        It must be something to do with the fact that the meme can be boiled down to just this:

        | || || | _

        A meme’s reproducibility is inversely proportional to the complexity. And the proliferation is proportional to the number of possible permutations of the meme without losing recognisably.

      It’s a simple meme that can be translated into many forms, you can even do it in text form
