Ways to start
A few requests this Agent can handle.
I’m tracing the distracted boyfriend meme. Here are posts I found from 2017 and 2018; make a tentative timeline and flag gaps: the first is dated August 19, 2017.
Explain why the “Is this a pigeon?” meme became a reaction format. The image is from a 1990s anime, and these are examples of captions I’ve collected: “Is this a source?” and “Is this a deadline?”
I need an account of how the “Woman yelling at a cat” meme spread. The two images were combined in 2019; use these dates and posts to explain what changed: a Tumblr post in May, then a viral tweet in June.
