About
Making Memes is an image macro series featuring Expanding Brain template edited or extended using a variety of different software, tools and crafting supplies.

On November 15th, 2017, the Civil Engineering Memes for Statically Indeterminate Teens Facebook[1] page posted an Expanding Brain image macro created in the computer-aided design (CAD) and drafting software application AutoCAD (shown below). Within two weeks, the post gained over 3,300 reactions and 850 comments.

The following day, Redditor GOPokemonMaster posted a Snapchat of the Expanding Brain image with the caption "Making Memes in Snapchat" added to the bottom (shown below). Within 24 hours, the post gathered over 24,100 points (90% upvoted) and 220 comments.
Also on November 28th, Redditor zanyy posted a photograph of a final Expanding Brain panel made of rice grains (shown below, left) and Redditor DankBagels3 posted a photograph of a student standing in front of a panel reading "making a meme with a class presentation and getting an F" (shown below, right).[4][5] That day, many additional variations of the meme reached the front page of /r/dankmemes and /r/memeeconomy.

Why is this an entry, it's literally expanding brain.
with a twist
Not…really? "Is about memes" is hardly a twist considering you can make any series of statements into an expanding brain meme.
doesn't matter if it's a twist, it's gotten its own independent spread, and that classifies sufficiently as a meme

This shouldn't be an entry of its own, or at the most a sub-entry of the expanding brain memes.

I think this should have just been a section in "Expanding Brain". All these are is responses to a single image in what's sure to be a quickly passing fad.
