Explaining a Chronically Online Meme

Text on the meme

How it feels to explain a meme that requires years of being chronically online for it to be funny

What it means

An ancient philosopher stands on temple steps, gesturing as he addresses a crowd. The joke compares explaining an extremely internet-specific meme to delivering a serious philosophical lecture, emphasizing that outsiders cannot understand the humor without years of online context.
