I highly doubt that - most memes are short-lived, community specific or barely identifiable to outsiders.

But you are, of course, unaware of memes you are not aware of.

Just google 'tank of the lake, what is your wisdom' and you can catch up on a new meme genre

Most of them? Are you sure?

It's most popular in military enthusiast circles, especially around the video games World of Tanks and War Thunder, which tend to be somewhat insular

This begs the question, is it a meme if it is not seen?

There are more memes than one person can know.

Yeah and I seriously question what feels like “I couldn’t find anything about this in Google therefore nobody knows anything about this”. [1] I worked in a specialized reference library for a while and it was very eye-opening to see university students fail to find, say, 90% of our materials.

I think people prefer the similar (derivative?) "senpai of the pool" for receiving wisdom from a non-native occupant of a body of water.
