Someone literally quoted this already lol

Someone will quote this any time shoes or products or money is mentioned. It's damn near a second Godwin's Law by this point

Idk if you mean the postin of the passage or Discworld books in general, but I highly recommend Discworld books.

Main reason I don't mind this passage being everywhere is it gives me a chance to shill for Terry Pratchett

I've never seen this passage as a memetic device.
