Sharing Memes Simultaneously to Other People Counts as Emotional Cheating! @bumble
Summary
Sharing a meme with someone you kind of like means game over, according to a straphanger who takes meme curation very seriously. He tells Kareem that sending memes to multiple people while you're in a relationship counts as emotional cheating, drawing a firm line between friendly music sharing and the deeper intimacy of meme exchange. Songs can be friendly gestures. But memes? You can't ethically share those if you're locked in. The rider even claims he met his wife through memes, saying she sent him "very rare, extremely valuable" content from deep down in the internet. That's how he knew she was the one. When Kareem asks if sharing with multiple people counts as polyamory, the answer is yes. Men are more likely to emotionally cheat this way, apparently.

So what's your take? Sharing memes simultaneously to other people counts as emotional cheating? 100% agree. If you share a meme with someone that you kind of like, right, I mean it is game over. The same goes for music. If you're sharing music, I think music can be friendly. I disagree. Sharing songs is emotional cheating. That said, y'all can find me on Bumble.
Uh, share your songs? When I was single, if I shared a song with someone, I could see it as a gesture of kindness. But if you're sharing a meme, you're crossing a boundary. Yes, can't ethically share a meme. You cannot ethically share a meme if you're with someone. If you're locked in, you just can't do it.
So if you're single though, you can share memes? You're single? Yes. I take my meme curation very seriously, and, you know, it's emotional. Like, if it's being shared to other people on your roster, that's on the roster. Yes.
Oh my God, if you're sharing with multiple people, that's polyamorous? If a girl sends me a meme that I've never seen before, she's the one. That's actually how I met my wife.
Really? Yeah, she's the one. She sent me—she sent me very rare, extremely valuable me that I'd never seen from deep, deep, deep down in the internet, and I like, she's the one. That's what I'm saying. It's an acquired taste. You have to have the taste. It's just like a style.
What's your meme deep cut?
Do you think men are more likely to emotionally cheat via memes or women? Men.
