To be fair I had a good crack at convincing my missus that manimals are a subclass of animal and she’s smarter than me - just at practical humanities subjects instead of STEM bollocks.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I think language plays a factor in how you think.
When I think of the English word "Animal", I think of a picture of a deer or a cow in a textbook. When I think in Chinese, 动物, I extrapolate the meaning of the word, 动 which means "moving", and 物 meaning "object", 动物 = "moving object", so its easy to know what is and isn't a 动物 (animal), the word is self-explanatory.
I wonder if this causes a similar confusion about sea cucumbers and venus fly traps.

Can someone explain the memes template/what it is trying to convey.
I get the text, but I am unfamiliar with the meme and what the face it meant to be portraying.

The look to which my response is "Oh... I'm sorry I didn't know about your disability".
