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.

My takeaway is different. It's bad that teachers force repression of honest, raw expression by punishing stuff like this.
That was funny. That was a well written intro in any context where bumsticks are optional.
These teachers and their consensus in style is like the old suburban "keeping up appearances" types of academia.
"No, my students aren't struggling mentally, they're just doing their work diligently." There's no excessive stress or dysfunction under the surface, everything is as it should be.
I’ve never had this experience. Almost all of my professors and most of teachers would have seen this, chuckled, accepted my apology, and then requested a better intro due the next day.
Most of my professors explicitly recognized that we would finish things last minute, cram the night before, be sleep deprived, or otherwise not be great with our schedule. And they did not discourage us with that information but rather tried to aid or alleviate it. I had professors say “I scheduled this exam to be due at 5:30pm on a Friday so that you can enjoy your weekend and not worry about completing this at midnight at a party.”
I think many teachers are much cooler than their students realize, they’re just people and while they have expectations, most teachers won’t spit in your face when you’re expressing yourself genuinely or trying in earnest.
Enh. Depends on the program. I have a diploma in TV production.
First step is knowing who’s marking it, their personality, and if they’re going to be bored reading 100 of these or if they actually love punishing students.
I threw a couple jokes in my final essay and got 100% :)
No good teacher at the college level would punish this. They might get dinged for profanity at the high school or lower levels, but it's still a great intro.
