About

Bending Streetlight refers to a piece of art by Mojtaba Heidarpanah which shows two gentlemen, one with a book and the other with a phone, sitting on a bench under a streetlight. The beam of light from the streetlight bends unnaturally to only shine on the man with the book. After the artwork spread on Reddit and was mocked for what Redditors saw as trite "phones bad / books good" messaging, it became an object labeling template on meme-based subreddits.

The Child Coin

Whoever launches this meme first creates its one official child coin of $MEME. The child coin takes this exact image, is priced in $MEME, and pays 1% of its every trade to its holders, in $MEME. After that, the meme is closed here forever.
