Shouldn't it be transformative in some way? Like if someone edited it and then submitted it would feel more like a meme to me.

Nah, replication is enough, shows interest. This meme was stolen, thus it lives on as a vehicle. The intention here is to simply get people interested in the world around them. Not sure what the original goal was. This one just has a little more .jpg than the last. I've seen variants of this one, regardless. This is an old one.
