The scared cat’s unforgettable expression soon inspired a mashup with the “Enhance That” meme , in which an image is zoomed in on, revealing a hidden image that was never there to begin with in the normal, zoomed-out version. Read on to see what I mean. Here’s another image that got famous on Reddit recently: The woman on the right’s ghastly visage became a meme in itself, but when some intrepid mashup artist put the two memes together, this magic was the result: This is how your internet works. Everyone adds incremental changes to existing memes until no one who doesn’t spend hours on the internet monitoring meme evolution can understand what’s going on. But now we hope you get it…as much as a sane person can. Share Continue reading →
