    Well yes, it does make people giggle, but memes are a serious form of communication now, they are used a lot, and are even used in psyops.

    So, making a meme that spreads misinformation in 2023 is among the most efficient ways to do so, especially if it does so implicitly and insidiously (by establishing two nonequivalent propositions as “equivalent” in the premise, like here).

    And, so, in that context, I argue that it is wrong, and I might add, harmful. It’s nothing against you personally or your “memeability”. It just reinforces the idea of a falsehood that undoes user education infosec professionals have been pushing for years.

      To be Frank, who I am not (I’m Hai), I can’t tell if you’re a troll or not. Although, if you’re not, my meme is not “wrong” or spreading misinformation it contains a logical fallacy, as many jokes do. I can list jokes that contain logical fallacies upon request.
