like, morbius was a huge meme, tons of different jokes, all over the place; but time passes and memes become cringe. yet often, a sliver remains! in this case said sliver is "he said it's (x)ing time and then proceeded to (x) al lover the place"

Reminds me of how all we have left of Sappho's poetry is a single complete poem and a handful of fragments, mostly quoted by other authors. When DRM inadvertently deletes the last surviving copy of Morbius, that meme is the only evidence historians will have of its existence.
