I might use these. I always wanted to get into making memes instead of just sharing them. These can be easily added to (rasterized) images to remix the original image, which is great. I've also wanted to birth a meme, as in, instead of just rehashing an old joke, I created the joke and it gets shared widely, sort of like some legacy that I contributed to cyberspace.

Or maybe I should just use 4chan more and try and get an image trending. That's how it's done right?

Academic side-note: an excellent book about memes, culture, genetics, evolution, and life is by one of my favorite philosophers: Daniel C. Dennett

If you make a meme with these, you will probably be bullied. The imperfections of the ms paint lines are part of the charm to the original images.
