For when you need a laugh!
The definition of a "meme" here is intentionally pretty loose. Images, screenshots, and the like are welcome!
But, keep it lighthearted and/or within our server's ideals.

idk. Google used to automatically highlight pages that you landed on then stopped your search, which indicates you got a good result. They basically scrapped that, though, since their advertising arm wanted people to spend more time searching, running more queries, to get more ad impressions. Google literally sabotaged their own search algorithm to increase "engagement".
It's not scalable. Sure you could have humans comb through the most common 1000 or so results, but there's got to be billions of unique searches every day
The amount of man hours this would require would bankrupt even Google. You'd be better off building a new index of whitelisted sites
Congratulations you invented a 90s search engine.
