Some memes are easy, some memes need an explanation. Fortunately this one comes with context - highly convenient. Perhaps we should be pushing for legislation to make this mandatory. Big Meme has had free reign for too long

      Perhaps we should also be pushing for tighter restrictions on meme classification as well.

        They only become memes when they start spreading. They’re always image macros.

            That’s true. This IS now a meme.

            What grinds my gears is when people say “I made this meme” when first sharing their image macro. It’s not a meme and it might never be one. Or it could be huge.

              You’re right. Maybe there ought to be a term for an attempt at a meme. Maybe a “proto meme”?

      I really had to look this up, and Jesus fuck, this is real. Bronx Zoo figured out tigers liked Obsession, then researchers in Central America would use it to get jaguars to rub up on certain items in front of cameras so they could record them and go out to gather up fur samples. Farmers noticed from the researchers that you could draw Jaguars to the area with the scent, and herbivores avoid areas frequented by Jaguars, so keep some scented items near your fields and things jaguars like to eat stay away.

    It’s called Sex Panther by Odeon. It’s illegal in nine countries… Yep, it’s made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good. […] They’ve done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time. –Brian Fantana
