Let M and f be as in the hypotheses of the meme.
Since f is a meme, then f∈M. That means f can be applied to itself. It follows that (f, f(f))∈f. We have then:
f ∈ {f, {f, f(f)}} = (f, f(f)) ∈ f
Thus, f∈f, violating the Axiom of Regularity. We conclude the meme is mathematical bullshit and I will not have it.
One of your precepts is flawed. f is not a meme any more than the word “all” is in “all your base are belong to us”. f is defined by text within the overall meme, but while it is part of the meme, it is not the meme itself, as it lacks the content of the remainder of the meme. Your precept is like saying “9 is prime, because it is the prime number ‘19’”. 9 is not prime. It is part of the representation of the number 19. f is not the meme. It is part of the context which defines the meme.
What? No, the image explicitly says f is a meme.
I would rather take my mathematical memes with adequate proof of well defined functions and proof of uniqueness 🤢
Oddly enough, if you take the derivative of f, you get the constant function 0.
Many interpret this to mean that “all memes are derivative”, which is true, but not the cause.
The real cause is that the value of any given meme is equal to the value of any other given meme. Doesn’t matter which one you look at, they all fail to make you laugh.
It seems possible that there might also be finite closed rings of memes that all make fun of another. In this case there would be no normiest meme, and dankness would not be well-ordered.

Is this well-defined? How can you tell whether something is an element of M?
Does such an f even exist? Why? Obviously it exists for some x in M but for all?
What’s a normie meme? Why does its existance follow?
This again requires f to be well-defined.
Prove it has that norm and please also prove it fulfills all properties of a norm.
[proof required]. Idea for a counterexample: A meme making fun of a meme in such a terrible way it cannot possibly be “danker”. Though this would require f^-1(terrible meme making fun of meme) to not be empty.
