>Oh they still haven't figured this one out at knowyourmeme?

Why not contribute your knowledge there, instead of (or in addition to) here, where it will surely be forgotten about?

It's just too much work for me, and there aren't a lot of logs on the WWW, let alone in the English bubble where this meme only exist as filler repost materials.

The situation might change in 5-10 years, but as Prof. Oak said, "this isn't the time to do that"; I think it doesn't quite going to just work.

Everyone doesn't have to know everything.

The Demon Core meme, for instance is getting pretty lamestream, no longer some shared affinity.

It's nice even mommyTok is doing it I guess, but we are one step away from a CNN story, then it's definitely over.

So for a brief moment make the most of the fact your smarter than "knowyourmeme"

"Everyone doesn't have to know everything" is a great sentiment.

I often think about https://xkcd.com/1053/ and how it's broadly misinterpreted: the point isn't that we should accelerate the education of everyone (at least on things of non-vital import), the point is that it's mutually fun to actually have the experience of sharing with a single person or a small community. And of course, as the XKCD says, it's important to do this freely and without judging the learner... but that freedom to share often exists precisely because the knowledge remains obscure.

If we don't like the commodification of the "inside joke" into a mere vehicle for advertising, as so much of culture in the age of algorithmic video feeds is becoming... then we need to let spaces and knowledge be obscure sometimes!
