I imagine there's some amount of conditioning (for lack of a better word), and some amount of how well the meme author annotated it. Mostly just postulating, with a small amount of experience having been an assistant to a blind person for a short stint. But I imagine you're onto something, that as people who experience memes visually, we'd find the meme's description less funny than someone who relied on that description to experience the comedic effect of the meme; they might just use their imagination to fill in the gaps more naturally than we do. But there are of course limits to what details we can divine from our imagination, so I imagine there's a lot of memes where blind people are left contextless unfortunately.
I don't know that everyone has one of these. But the professor I assisted for that aforementioned short stint also had a special braille printer, of course. I believe these printers have since advanced to the point of being able to render photos in a sort of limited fashion where the paper is indented to contour to lines. I believe there are also tactile tablets now for the visually disabled.
