All right, Jordan, pay attention. He’s already explaining. He thought Anonyman was referring to his height with the word ‘little’. In case you haven’t noticed, AM’s English isn’t the greatest in town.
I think everyone needs to cool off a little and stop digging into AlienMagi quite so much. Kudos to AM for shrugging it off calmly so far.
On a different tone, I don’t get Internet memes. They used to be fun when they emerged from normal Internet behaviour, but now it all seems manufactured and self‐serving. It’s like pop culture but even shittier. If someone wants to explain it to me, I’m all ears.

Okay, Max, here goes.
Internet memes are funny when you know where they originate from and participate in the making of them. Remember the 'brighday' thing? We could call that a fad or a meme, but few people outside of our social circle will get it. The most notable (and obvious) source of memes are Something Awful and 4chan, with 4chan having the shittier but more often produced memes, and SA-well, I'm not a member of the SA forums so let's leave it at that.
Now, see, there are people who take mes from place to place, and websites that straight up copy them (YTMND). The quality of meme related material degrades, and you get people spouting lolcat dialogue publicly and ruining it for everyone. I'm not saying the use of memes in places other than their souce makes them less funny, it's just the people that do it. Eventually lolcats are going to be sold on T-shirts at Hot Topic, along with some of the other memes that have public domain based source material.
I think that about covers it.
