    The takeaway is that memes aren’t “information” to help you form your opinions. Memes are little entertainment blobs that vastly oversimplify and exaggerate complex ideas for brevity. Everything in this specific meme is literally true, but they aren’t related. There’s no contradiction or irony, it’s just how chemistry works - it’s often not simple or intuitive, and neither are a lot of other things summed up in memes.

        Exactly, that’s how memes work - and I was pointing out how this is true of memes in general, which is why they aren’t good information sources.
