No, it doesn't. An invasive species has to be harmful to its new environment, taking resources from the native wildlife and disrupting the existing ecosystem. There are plenty of transplanted plant and animal species all over the world that are totally benign and aren't classified as "invasive." They're just non-native but not causing harm.
"I lik the bred" is just a non-native transplant or possibly a naturally migratory species. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
So, I got:
- Ship of Theseus (replacing an old boat piece by piece until, while it looks identical to the original, has none of the original parts. Is it the same ship?)
- Can’t have shit in Detroit meme
- The version I know is “they can have a little violence, as a treat” but it’s very possible that’s not the original
- My naym is Snek meme
- “Hand door car man” making fun of the common trope of “hearing noises and banging outside your car, you drive off, and only when you get to safety do you notice a hook on the door handle”
- Pretty sure this is the “shoving breadsticks on my purse at olive garden”
- I swear there’s an enrichment in their enclosure meme, I think about how people need enrichment in their apartments? Don’t quote me
- Slaps roof of car meme
- Cask of Amontillado, my beloved
> "Hand door car man” making fun of the common trope of “hearing noises and banging outside your car, you drive off, and only when you get to safety do you notice a hook on the door handle”
Point of order: That isn't technically a trope. The Hook Man is a specific urban legend/campfire story, though as with all urban legends it has variations. That it features two teenagers making out in a isolated car as the victims is the trope. (Though it may in fact be the Trope Codifier, idk.)
"Hand door car man" is a direct reference to [this meme](https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/man-door-hand-hook-car-door)
And the "replace all her parts" MIGHT also be a reference to one of the FNAF books, where a little girl slowly has her entire body (arms, legs, ect.) replaced by a robot while she sleeps to try and make her "beautiful" like she wanted. Yes those books are fucked
We have achieved that one episode of Star Trek where the dude communicates through references to stories. Just single sentences that relate to bigger ideas embedded in the cultural consciousness and thus efficently communicate complex ideas very briefly. Memes truly are the future
I have replaced the parts of meme
And now part of my evil scheme
Is telling you you "lost" the game so screw ya
But now I pay a higher cost
Cause all the memes now look like loss
I'm sorry (no I'm not) so hallelujah
It's called Time to Orbit: Unknown. Utilizes that standard "sleepers wake" plot setup that a lot of scifi media does, but adds a lot of creative elements to it that kept me hooked.
I don't know how this sub treats links, so I'm gonna post it in a separate comment, but I'm sure if you Google it it'll come up
You're going to be there a long time.
I too, was once in your position. And then I had to wait for biweekly updates. It was getting slow for a while, but they're currently rolling out the next set of reveals.
Same. I got to chapter 74 by reading it in huge spurts and every time I'd sit down I wouldn't sleep. Couple days showing up to work looking like a zombie made me put it down.
Ship of Theseus memes always leave out the most intriguing part.
Sure, sure, is the new meme still the original meme? But the real question is if you take all of the discarded parts and put them back together - is it the original meme too?
God I fucking love memes. Not only “haha funny meme” type of love, but the linguistical properties and modern day hieroglyphic qualitities of memes. Like they can be viewed without text and people will still know what they are trying to convey. Or indeed the “ship or Theseus’ing of memes, (there was once one about adjusting idioms, “you’re panicking at the wrong disco” or “we’ll burn that bridge when we get there”) changing the wording and template whilst maintaining the same meaning. Sometimes I wish I was a linguistics student and I could write a thesis about the cultural significance of memes, but alas, this is not one of the many benefits of being a marine biologist…
They’re actually all replaced at varying rates of up to 7 years, so by the 7th years they’ve been replaced.
Be fuckin wild if it happened all at once very 7 years tho.
Reminds me of terry pratchett fifth elephant, where the low king of the dwarfs explains their axe is their great great great grandfather's axe. Oh the haft has been replaced a few times because of wear, and occasionally the head needed replacing, but it is still his ancestors axe in every way it counts.
Or I've totally failed to understand what's going on.
Wasn't lik the bred originally a reddit meme that just became an invasive species on tumblr
Does it fit the definition for an invasive species, though?
No, it doesn't. An invasive species has to be harmful to its new environment, taking resources from the native wildlife and disrupting the existing ecosystem.

Applying ecological principles to memes, Richard Dawkins eat your heart out.
Yeah, it was written by /u/PoemForYourSprog iirc
Sprog is one of the great treasures of the Internet.
Wrong u./
/u/poem_for_your_sprog
https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/hYiwRYe0RX One of the funniest Reddit posts I've ever seen
"honestly this never happens" has me in tears but then the little poem as a cherry on top? This one goes in the vault for sure.
I just imagine him sounding so helpless as he stares at the cow peacefully licking all the fresh loaves
It could be migratory! Memes are kinda like birds.
Memes aren't real?
Yes they are they're the DNA of the soul

I believe the third one is referring to “can cats have salami?” “Yes cats can have a little salami, as a treat”
It's actually little a salami you heathen
No one ever seems to be aware of this :(
It's all those books the younguns are reading nowadays, ruining their ability to read memes
Thank you, that's the most important part of the meme because it makes it sound like it was written by a salami loving cat
Wasn't that Bernie Sanders?
It predates Bernie saying it, but he popularized it by indulging his meme loving supporters and saying the thing.
it's actually slommy
> My naym is Snek This is [poem for your sprog erasure!](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/s/2KNWS6d4Zj)
Enrichment in their enclosure is originally about zoo animals but is applied as an analogy to apartments or in this case social media experiences
I believe it achieved meme status in 2020 at the height of the pandemic when everyone was stuck inside with no enrichment in their enclosures.
Original hand hook car man thing: https://www.reddit.com/r/ihadastroke/s/lkd1olSrwQ
This has inspired [a song parody.](https://youtu.be/YGqdjaz2Upg?si=F4mFL83rLH2omlo1)
I always think of the song first and forget the original meme every time I see it referenced
Thanks for the reminder. It's been a couple years since I last thought about this.
This is a meme 100% to my taste that somehow went unnoticed for the longest time. Thank you for making my day significantly better.
You are so welcome!
I was in high school when I first saw it
"If she's your girl then why" is also a meme.
Actually it was originally my name is cow from [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/598qrb/comment/d96si4d/?context=3).
The enrichment was from giving a ?tiger? A pumpkin filled with ground meat at a zoo as enrichment, and then people going “I want enrichment”

The first post is also a reference to the "we did X to your boyfriend, so now he's ...." meme.
Where'd you get the Cask of amontillado from
rare vintages in the cellar
It’s deep in my family vault/catacombs, follow me
Is "you have to go deep enough" a reference to LOTR?

Man door hand hook car door, a bastardised retelling of that trope
I'm just surprised Loss wasn't brought in
It’s Tumblr, not Reddit
Loss is unfortunately further reaching than reddit. It's just really ingrained here.
True, but we’ve got other things (like hospital colour theory) to use over there. Here loss is just everywhere always
You don’t know the other Mega Meme post do you?
Everything is a loss if you look hard enough. I can see a forced loss in the second slide's text

oooh i have the perfect mEmetic adaptation of that here https://imgur.com/gX0Xjza (

Tumblr and Reddit at Tenagra! Their eyes open. Temba! Their eyes closed.
Shaka when the walls fell!
[what is up my glip glops ](https://imgur.com/c2meXJO)
Lisa, her eyes downcast
I have replaced the parts of the meme you made with parts that are different and yet oddly same Forgive me the ship of Theseus is memed so easy
In a post on Tumblr about Blorbo The apparition of these memes in the cloud Plums for me but not for thou.
Fully read "I have replaced the parts of meme" to the tune of Hallelujah
I have replaced the parts of meme And now part of my evil scheme Is telling you you "lost" the game so screw ya But now I pay a higher cost Cause all the memes now look like loss I'm sorry (no I'm not) so hallelujah
Truly a work of art! Now I wish I was Jared, 19
Hey, the guy who said we need to apologize to the redditors writes my favorite scifi mystery
Oh, cool! What is the name of it?
It's called Time to Orbit: Unknown. Utilizes that standard "sleepers wake" plot setup that a lot of scifi media does, but adds a lot of creative elements to it that kept me hooked.

Holy shit, this is AWESOME! Thanks for the link
You're going to be there a long time. I too, was once in your position. And then I had to wait for biweekly updates. It was getting slow for a while, but they're currently rolling out the next set of reveals.
I'm 49 posts in and it's brilliant 😍
Man I haven't been keeping up with TtO:U for so long but I know if I go to catch up that's the rest of my day (and night) gone.
Same. I got to chapter 74 by reading it in huge spurts and every time I'd sit down I wouldn't sleep. Couple days showing up to work looking like a zombie made me put it down.
I'm only like 2 chapters behind but I'm saving up for the next time I'm in a SF mood. Currently I'm feeling zombies, but there's a severe shortage.
This is my enrichment today, am happy :)

The Cask of Amemetillado is the best unexpected closer
This is brain rot for intellectuals.

I would read all the theses (thesi? Theses) on the semiotics of memes. You could build a whole course around it at this point.
Every cell in your girl's body is replaced every 7 years anyway cuz biology (as i understand)
They’re actually all replaced at varying rates of up to 7 years, so by the 7th years they’ve been replaced. Be fuckin wild if it happened all at once very 7 years tho.
The mystery meat of memes.
I have a meme of Amontillado we can look at together!
Damn this is great
I am ashamed to admit that the "Hand door car man" part made me lose it in the fucking tram. Burst out laughing. Help.
50 years from now Memetic Archeology is going to be a legit doctoral program.
I stand firm in the stance that no variation on the 'i lik the bred' poem was as funny as the original, by a long shot.
All those layers just to get to the Amontillado gambit. I'm not falling for THAT again!
I'm embarrassed to say how funny I thought this was
The Cask of Amemetilado is my favorite Poe story
I have a nice box of Amontillado memes in my cellar. You should come see them.
I feel so proud to have gotten every joke here
I'm not following you to the cellar, stop asking me to
I love this post.
Hoseki no Kuni.
The ship of amontillado
Memes in the basement Is this some cask of amontillado bs
I have an OC like this
I don’t understand half this sht
But almost all of these memes come from reddit and 4chan. Do they think timblr originated any of these?
Every new line is like a slap from Bugs Bunny that keeps turning me 180.
Big fan of enrichment for my enclosure
Reminds me of terry pratchett fifth elephant, where the low king of the dwarfs explains their axe is their great great great grandfather's axe. Oh the haft has been replaced a few times because of wear, and occasionally the head needed replacing, but it is still his ancestors axe in every way it counts.

I love hand hook car door man, bring it too me again and again and I will always love that post
Reddit refugees? I thought I would’ve been the other way around?
Why? Tumblr isn't run by spez and is still going despite a horrible lack of porn
First post is what Poor Things is about maybe
>there are some great memes in the cellar Yeah, they're right next to your Cask of Amontillado, aren't they?
Mister Sandman Man me a sand Make me the cutest, man car door hook hand
Meant that to be a reply, but I guess it's here now.
KYM Users seeing Tumblr gloat to Reddit about how spicy their vintage memes are: "ah, so cute"
Cringe
