Dick Dawk says Internet memes are forced, unlike the original sense he had in mind when he coined 'meme'.

Maybe math is an Internet meme? Kek

Math, the subject, is not a meme because it is not poular. Even forced math 'memes' are either made here for a niche community or really shitty stuff posted on 9gag that is 1st grade trigonometry.

Math, the degree, is also not a meme because it is not popular.

Try again.

/sci/ calls "a meme" anything they can't (properly) understand or anything that seems irelevant to them
