Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Shop pop, whoppity slop, crops are here, it's time to stop.
This is a very famous poem. What is it about?
GPT-4o mini:
The lines you quoted are from the poem "The Song of the Witches" by William Shakespeare, specifically from "Macbeth." This poem is recited by the three witches in Act 4, Scene 1.
Themes and Meaning Supernatural Elements The poem reflects the supernatural themes prevalent in "Macbeth." The witches symbolize chaos and the dark forces that influence the characters' fates.
It goes on.
Actual "Song of the witches" from Macbeth
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
Obviously the same poem, op caught plagiarising.
I actually remember that part from Macbeth

This is actually a pretty great way to illustrate what LLMs do. It gives you an answer regardless of whether it makes sense to do so.
Lmfao holy shit
It's so fun to waste energy!
AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions
I love those energy hungry assistants! It's wasting resources even faster than everything before but it's so fun and useful!
AI drives 48% increase in Google emissions
That's not even supported by the underlying study.
Google's emissions went up 48% between 2019 and 2023, but a lot of things changed in 2020 generally, especially in video chat and cloud collaboration, dramatically expanding demand for data centers for storage and processing. Even without AI, we could have expected data center electricity use to go up dramatically between 2019 and 2023.

I can confirm it works for DuckDuckGo as well.
I love how it even lists 'sources' (I checked, that phrase does not appear in either "source")
Edit: To make this phenomenon even funnier, I just asked it the exact same question and it gave me a different answer this time. Still "playful" though :)
What on Earth makes it think those sources implied anything?
it needed sources, so it found some (only slightly lacking relevance)

One thing that pisses me off is the websites which claim to have the meaning behind a song and it’s just several paragraphs of AI slop that parse the lyrics at a surface level and don’t examine any external context, such as the artist or their life at the time of writing.
Nice we can still sometimes tell when an explanation page is AISEOGARBAGE
Few years down the road truth-seekin gonna be real tough, I worry: facts and news, images and videos, social connections/commenters… :(
Didn't work for me, I guess my nonsense game is too strong
Also not really for me:

Duckduckgo's AI:
"The phrase "a lady butterfly meme a day keeps the doctor away" is a playful twist on the well-known saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away." This original phrase suggests that eating an apple daily can contribute to good health and potentially reduce the need for medical attention."
"In this variation, the mention of "lady butterfly meme" likely refers to a specific meme or a lighthearted, humorous image that brings joy or laughter. The implication is that engaging with fun or uplifting content, like memes, can have a positive effect on one's mental health and overall well-being, similar to how healthy eating is associated with physical health."
"Overall, it emphasizes the importance of humor and positivity in daily life as a way to maintain good health, particularly mental health."
AI speaks the truth! I wish I could upvote this more
Alas.
Oh but it does work in AI mode. Wow, how does AI mode make the AI dumber?
I don't know but I love the fact that even AI is calling EA out on it's bullshit!

I've tried a few things. It gives back things like "this is a gambled version of this other common saying" or "that statement is nonsensical and is not in common use".
It did used to work, though. I tried it a while back and it worked. I think it learned or was manually fixed.

You're saying you've never heard the phrase "two dry frogs is a situation"? That's just a horse cutting it short at the barber!
I wouldn't have noticed since I just ignore the AI bullshit or throw in "fuck" to my search so it doesn't even bother showing it in the first place.
alternatively use mullvad leta which simply does not display the horrendous google AI summaries. :-)

Does not work for ANY phrase. It seems to be presuming that the person asking is referencing something. Sample results copied here in order of AI's least theorizing to its most.
- horses before giraffes meaning
"Horses before giraffes" has no scientific meaning because giraffes are not ancestors of horses....
- put your horses before giraffes meaning
"Put your horses before giraffes" is not a recognized English idiom. The similar and well-known idiom is "put the cart before the horse," ....
- always put horses before giraffes meaning
The phrase "always put horses before giraffes" is a variation of the well-known medical aphorism: "When you hear hoofbeats, think of horses, not zebras"....
- titrated solutions beget relief meaning
The phrase "titrated solutions beget relief" means that carefully adjusted or fine-tuned treatments can bring about an end to a problem....
Confirmed!
“No window blinds are female.”
“The houseplant didn‘t think so.”
I tried to replicate this with Brave's AI, but it basically just told me I was insane so I guess it's better
