One of the greatest things about salads is that you can combine almost any ingredients together in one meal and it will still be an acceptable culinary experience to somebody, somewhere. You could throw together elements from every single food group and still manage to sell it for $20 at Sweetgreen. It's kind of the same principle with memes; while it's true that some combinations will be unpalatable to the vast majority, it it technically possible to create a piece of internet humor using any old random additive. That's a big part of the reason they are the behemoth they are today, and show no chances of letting that change. It's fair to say that just like any other example you've ever seen, the memes below come with a mishmash of influences. Hopefully it creates a delicious end product despite the chaos that it creates in terms of the big picture.
