I don’t know about this one. I mean Reddit memes don’t always originate from Reddit, time and time again id see old internet content from 12 years ago from ifunny or 9gag etc.
I also think that if a lot of the users have been in a Reddit tunnel for a long time, of course they’re going to think similarly… questions even on Reddit get repeated ad nauseum (e.g “redditors, what is the most nsfw thing that’s happened to you” and people commenting about actual OHSA stuff instead of sexy stuff= haha).
I’m not entirely sure humans are capable of have original thoughts 100% of the time. Probably not even 20%. That’s especially true if they’re getting all their info/humor from the same places.
Memes are memes!
Vanilla is NOT a boring flavour. It is the best flavour and most versatile flavour!!! Describing things as vanilla should not be synonymous with boring and I’ll fight anyone who argues otherwise
