I’ve seen a lot of memes/jokes related to moths looking for lamps. Why does the community love these memes? What’s the point?

Lemmy gets a meme then beats it to death in 24 hours.
Like beans, jeans, and the rest…seasonal meme.
On what is the point:
It’s literally a single guy
Fuck moths, they are fucking gross and terrifying.
One person decided to create a trend by switching on the lamp and the next thing we know it’s full of moth.
Memes come and go, moths are forever.
Lamps are electrical sources of artificial light. Moths are insects which exhibit positive phototaxis, i.e. an inherent attraction towards light sources. So the memes riff on how moths are naturally attracted to light.
Now why talk about moths? I don’t know, but I think they’re kinda neat, and that’s enough for me.
I guess everyone likes live storytelling events!
Fr “The Moth” is a pretty decent regular podcast/event series.
