Researchers at University College London developed a new way to
measure how memes are made and spread. What they found won't
surprise anyone who's peered into the darker parts of the internet in the
last few years: The most toxic, yet most effectively spread, memes are first
shared on two places, the subreddit r/the_donald and 4chan's "politically
incorrect" forum, called /pol/

Instagram, Flowers, and Time: fearofpop
A guy is taking his girlfriend to prom. He waits in the ticket
line for a really long time but gets them. He goes to renta
limo. The rental line is really long but he eventually does it.
He goes to buy her flowers. The line at the florist is really
long but eventually he gets the flowers. At prom, she asks
him to go get punch. He goes to the refreshment table and
there's no punchline.
