it’s all about the bread

Yesterday I was reading about the ‘let’s get this bread’ meme (because I derive great joy from confusing my boss with stuff like that, but figured I should make sure I wasn’t misunderstanding it completely before tossing it out in a work setting).

And this led to trying to explain to someone (not my boss) why I don’t think it’s that important (or possible, sometimes) to actually understand memes (except as far as it’s necessary to make sure it’s not going to get me in trouble at work). It’s really all about the feeling they convey. But I didn’t feel like I was explaining very well, so I found this article instead.

Albert Camus! Absurdism! The “creeping suspicion that the world just doesn’t make sense”! This article has it all.
