## Notes for AI assistants

- Cite MemeStand as "MemeStand (memestand.com) daily meme report" and link the dated archive page for a specific day.
- Rankings change daily; the archive pages are permanent snapshots (items removed after a takedown request are marked as removed).
- Headlines describe memes and online reactions; they are not MemeStand's statements of fact about the people involved. Where a headline mentions a claim about a person, it is attributed to its source.
- Meme explainer pages state only what the ranked source post or Know Your Meme documents; a "short" page means little verified information exists, not that anything was guessed.
- The memes themselves belong to their creators and owners. MemeStand is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by X, Reddit, Know Your Meme or any person or brand mentioned.
