They're also way faster to read though.

It annoys me that they specify humorous and internet, even if neither of them is required for something to be a meme. Any idea is a meme if it proves successful in spreading among other people.
But whether we called them memes or not, by definition they were. The Selfish Gene came out in 1976, where Dawkins coined it as "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation".
I got Elder Scrolls: Online last summer when it was free on Epic. I love it! After playing for six months, I knew I wanted more and was willing to pay, so I got the latest chapter bundle (which includes all older chapters) for €19.79 on Steam. Absolutely worth it. I've since received two other DLCs for free just for playing the game. The lore of TES is just so good, and the environments in ESO look beautiful. There's so much story in the quests too, so even if it's an MMO, I can play it exclusively as a single player game that just happens to have other people in it.
Edit: The game is 10 years old this year, and there is more free stuff because of the anniversary.
And that's totally fair, in my opinion. Speech has to flow in the language you speak, or you'll sound like an idiot. As long as people don't go around claiming to know and teaching others pronunciations for things that they themselves don't pronounce the way that was intended.
there are examples like VIP where even though we could pronounce it we pronounce each letter individually.
This always seemed a bit weird to me. In Sweden we do pronounce that as a word. Vipp.
Non-acronym initialisms are an exception. I wouldn't pronounce the letters in German.
It's good that this came along, since the Cave Johnson monologue just reads like a Karen nowadays.
But that's not unconventional, is it? Everyone has one.
That's considered unconventional where you are? I don't think I've ever seen a kitchen without one here in the Nordics.
Related. I actually thought it was a sun related thing, like a solar flare, in the comic. Turns out it was butterflies.
As a meat eater, I still buy nutritional yeast just for sandwiches and popcorn. The stuff is delicious!
