We need to talk about the "meme from the future". A bootstrap paradox is the paradox of time travel in which objects or pieces of information are never literally created, because their existence begins by arriving from the future and ends by going to the past to become themselves. We have created the world's first recorded time paradox. The meme came from the future, and has time traveled to our time. We had no idea what it is nor did we get the reference. But here we are now, we turned the meme of the future into the meme of today. We get the reference now: it came from the future and we were expected not to understand it. There must come a day in the distant 42069 where years go by like days, and we send the meme back to 2016. As to why this meme in particular to be sent, we don't know but in the future we will find out. Maybe it was chance, maybe it was to fulfill the prophecy of the future meme; the prophecy from 2016 to send the meme back to 2016 when 42069 comes. This meme exists because of itself. We were confused by it, and with confusion comes intrigue. The time we live in now is what we would have called the future a couple days ago. Fate has it that the meme will be sent back to 2016, and there is no way to avoid that. The true, true origin and creator of the meme? We are. This is our meme.
