Why do so many memes come with reactions these days when they’re so much better on their own?

Fun fact about the Greeks thinking Prometheus’s name meant “forethought” - that’s actually a folk etymology. The pro is a much older use of the prefix that meant “away”, not “before”, and the root is actually meth-, “to steal”. Prometheus is “the one who steals away, the thief”, and seems to go back to a Proto-Indo-European thief/trickster myth.

Pro-meth- also has a perfect cognate in Sanskrit pra-math- “to steal”.

It’s just hilarious to me that the Greeks built an entire mythology around Prometheus being the foresighted one, to the extent that they even made up a brother for him meaning “afterthought”, all based on a folk etymology!
