That's a meme? I've never seen that photo before in my life and I'm pretty aware of most memes.
- bityard 2y agoThere are more memes than one person can know.
- CoopaTroopa 2y agoJust google 'tank of the lake, what is your wisdom' and you can catch up on a new meme genre
- SoftTalker 2y agoI think a very small number of people today are aware of Arthurian legend. I think I have heard the phrase "lady of the lake" before but never really knew any context around it until I just now searched the term. I would have guessed it was the name of a ship or something.

- swores 2y agoDo you have a go-to bit of advice you give to students who you've spotted are lacking research (and just plain search) skills? (i.e. Something to kickstart them in the right direction, not just a way of saying "learn how to search better!")

- mholt 2y agoThis begs the question, is it a meme if it is not seen?

- guilhas 2y agoYou can see 2 comments on that page, 6y ago, saying the meme is not relevant enough for it's own entry
- cedilla 2y agoI highly doubt that - most memes are short-lived, community specific or barely identifiable to outsiders. But you are, of course, unaware of memes you are not aware of.
- tailspin2019 2y agoSpeak for yourself. I’m not aware of any memes that I am unaware of.
- ranger207 2y agoIt's most popular in military enthusiast circles, especially around the video games World of Tanks and War Thunder, which tend to be somewhat insular
- layer8 2y agoMost of them? Are you sure? https://www.reddit.com/r/MemeEconomy/comments/egxfws/12880_memes_for_the_price_of_1_buy_now/ https://www.reddit.com/r/MemeEconomy/comments/egxfws/12880_m...
