Memetality
the characteristic attitude of mind or way of thinking of a person or group that can be versed in a few short lines and passed off as a legitimate capacity of intelligent thought regardless of the information's validity simply because the information sounds good and is shared throughout social media sources and emails in the form of memes and tactiley as articles, billboards, and bumper stickers.

"Obama is America's First Muslim In Chief" and "Trump Quote, 1998: If I ran as president, I'd run as a republican. They're the stupidest group of voters in the country." are classic examples of misinformation and fake news that have been passed of as legitimate thoughts and attitudes and due to these thought being passed off largely in the form of memes they have greatly influenced the memetality of the masses.

Memetic Energy
The energy formed with the creation of memes. Specifically, when a meme is formed, a certain amount of neutral energy is split into equal parts memetic energy and normie energy.

Memetic Energy also follows the Three Laws of Memetic Energy which go as follows:

The Law of Memetic Energy's Neutralization states that Memetic Energy, when not contained within a vessel we know as a 'meme' or a 'memer', will eventually combine with free normie particles to form neutral particles.

Memetic Energy can only come from Memetic Energy, it cannot be create or destroyed, only transferred or converted

The Law of Memetic Energy Origination states that Memetic Energy cannot be created from nothing, however, it can be separated from neutral particles, creating equal amounts of normie energy and Memetic Energy.

The memetic energy formed from that meme was too great for the normies to handle.
By Claresta
