The transition of the word meme from meaning “unit of transmission of culture” to meaning “funny picture” is complete and I just have to come to terms with that.

Meme is a dead meme
Doesn’t even have to be funny. But some text on a picture and you did a meme boyo

“Killroy Was Here” is actually inscribed on the WW2 Memorial in Washington DC.

Its origins and original significance are uncertain, as are the reasons why it appears in such diverse locations.
I hadn’t heard of them before this.

Achtung! likely originates from the same era, propagating through allied machine shops during WWII. And I’ve seen that in the wild.
It’s little orphan Annie, by Harold Gray!
I follow this guy in YT that reads one strip from exactly 100 years ago every day.
