Meming 101
*Heelies into the room and performs a totally sick kickflip*

Greetings class. Today we're going to learn the basics of meming. Now for our first class. What is a meme? Here is what the dictionary gives me
meme
mēm/Submit
noun
noun: meme; plural noun: memes
an element of a culture or system of behavior that may be considered to be passed from one individual to another by nongenetic means, especially imitation.
a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc., that is copied (often with slight variations) and spread rapidly by Internet users.

This means that a meme is a joke, one that gains popularity in some form across the internet. However, not all memes need to spread far.
Take "oh no" for an example. The "oh no" is a phenomenon found primarily on this website after our beloved Mishimadmin types those two beautiful words long ago. It has since evolved into a variation of the Knuckles "oh no" meme, but began differently.

Now then children, any questions?
I should be teaching this. Get out of my class

*Heelies around Aristotle Memes*

Well mister, if you wanna teach a class right, you gotta start teaching it. You wanna teach a meme class, teach a meme class. Ya dig? If not, then step off.
Good man.
*Gamma is struck by the chalk, knocking him off his heelie balance and on his back*

B.... But this class is about memes.... What else do you do?
"Ha, he got hit in the head with chalk!"

"Good memes."
Aristotle is not a good man.
*Slowly gets up*

B... But those things are totally bogus. Why would you learn about sicience and stuff in "Meming 101"? You're like, totally throwing off my groove man.
B-but Mr.Gamma! How do you spell Maymay!
End me scary guy with a nose that looks like a bridge.
But mister Mean. I AM in my classroom. Trying to spread the wonderful news about memes to boys and girls everywhere, like this

*Gamma bends over to speak to Nyarloli*
May May is spelt "em, ay, why, em, ay, why". Now you try saying it.
"Nah, everyone's gonna die in a year anyway, boi!"
MY classroom. not yours. I will not let you teach these people memes.
*Writes "Gamma's meme's are weak" on his blackboard*

*Gamma heelies over to Nyx_Avatar*
But those people don't have to die without first knowing the joys of memes. Allow me to do my work first. Once everyone knows about memes, my job will be finished.

*Gamma reads the blackboard, and seems heartbroken*
T..... They are? B... But I thought all the children enjoyed my memes...
No.... I can't let it end like this..... But how?
"We must summon a true memelorf to defeat him...but where would we find such a rare being?"
But.... Inari's away.... And I can't think of another memelord like him..... Can you think of any other way to save memes?
*Writes "Memlords are no match for lectures and revision" on his black board*
You've lost. Now, are you ready to learn the boring subjects with absolutely no memes?

Halt, mortals.

Gamma. Your resolve has been tested. But now is not the time to falter! Your will to meme must hold strong. Do not fear; our meme magic may wane at times, but it will always be present when you need it most. So long as you believe in memes.

Believe in the memes that believe in you, Gamma! Show this phony philosopher the real super power of memework!
*Gamma stands firm in his resolve*

I.... I know now what to do.
Let the memes flow through me. First, I channel Joker
Honestly Aristotle, I question your intelligence. You do nothing but post complete trash tier posts, not even worthy of being called shitposts, just for the attention. You are either the co-worker that gets picked up with a red stapler, or you are that child that was abused so badly that you have to come onto an anonymous forum, and do everything you can for attention. You try to pull our attention becuase it's the only thing you manage to do successfully in life, as you seem to not be capable of much else, and considering the fact you have two accounts to post with, tells me that you have such a high level of ADHD, you probably forget you are taking a piss midway through. Your low quality posting also tells me that your intellectual though process is so goddamn low, that you unironically think that my "non-existent" testicles actually sprout from above my heel, ignoring the fact that the bone in my ankle is not actually for reproductive means. The only joy you probably have in your life right now is some people acknowledging your trash tier posting, and your false ego gets inflated every tie a poster ignorantly claims that you are a god tier shitposter, without actually knowing what god tier shit posting was.

Come back to me later when both of your testicles drop, you have a few more years on you, and you experience the world outside of the basement you dwell in. Soon you will learn that mother's hotpocks (assuming you even know what the love of a mother even is) is not sufficient to survive on, and for the love of god, it's not called a fedora.
Next, Hazama
snrxxxxxxx
And finally, our god Mishimadmin
oh no.
N-No. A true shitpost filled with all the memes of the Nexus! This can't be! That's impossible!!!!!!!!!!

---Aristole Anti-memes has been Memed---
*Stumbles into the room with a robotic mask made of cardboard, clapping at Gamma's incredible display of meme-age.* That... was... BEAUTIFUL!
*Gamma heelies over to the collapsed Aristotle and offers him a hand*

Memes are so much more than that though. They spread and grow as more and more people create and post them. Memes are a beautiful thing, and it would be terrible to assume the ability to use them all. Come on Aristotle, I believe we can all meme together. And watch as our memes expand and grow into something more beautiful
How can I have lost? All of my academic research defeated by these memes. I refuse to believe it. I refuse to hold hands with you and become Aristotle Memes. I shall return, Gamma. With some new teeth and some new anti-memes. And then I shall defeat you and your memes. This world will return to the boring place full of learning it was supposed to be. Mwu Ha Ha Ha.

*Aristotle Anti-memes flees, laughing like the maniacal, mem hating villain he is. He got away. And that's terrible*
*Gamma sighs and straightens up the blackboard, before heelieing to the front of the class*

Alas, maybe we'll meme again one day. Until then I must train and remain ever vigilant.... Maybe I can get help from my brother Inari.... Although I am only a fledgeling memer, perhaps one day I'll be worthy of my brother's mantle.
