Guys, we're seeing how humor sometimes spirals into absurdity and turns into a "meme." So what's driving this transformation? Why do people take a specific joke and keep repeating and sharing it? Do you think this is a societal thing, or are algorithms steering the wheel? What are your experiences with this?
How does humor turn into a meme?

I swear, people are so lazy they’d rather let their brains bounce from one meme to another 😂. And yeah, it’s easy to be a puppet in the hands of algorithms—they just keep nudging us with "Hey, this is interesting!" every time. I do the same thing, then shrug and share it anyway. Guess we’re all just stuck in noob mode, huh? 🤷♀️
Recently, in a group chat, the phrase "norman is normal" started circulating. The conversation snowballed until it devolved into an absurd joke that everyone latched onto—so much so that we even started calling our group "The Normans." It’s like someone hit a button, and we all got stuck on the same wavelength, as if the same program had been uploaded into all our brains.
Bro, let me give you TikTok dances as an example. Everyone just takes the same basic move and keeps copying it because the algorithm keeps pushing it if you're "trending," so people go, "Oh, I think I've seen this cliché move before," and share it. It's the same with humor memes—the algorithm pushes whatever gets the most views, and that turns into a stale joke.
