Something tells me that there are more people/New Yorker interactions than people/shark interactions.

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.

In Florida it’s about 50-50
EY! I’m swimming’ ova here!
something like the case numbers? But hey, in both cases not all of those bites were fatal. ;-)
How many sharks are bitten by New Yorkers each year?
I’m a New Yorker who ate fermented shark in Iceland. So at least one.
This…this is the question I want answered.
Just stay away from Bitin' Steve down on 14th and you should be fine.
Consensually, right?
Right?
Just last week, my friend was eaten by a wild New Yorker. Rest in peace Sam Widge...
Of course they bite if you pet 'em wrong! By that I mean, New Yorkers need a hit on the head and sharks need a gentle snoot boop :3
I'm so proud of my state. Look, tourists, you'll be fine, just don't get in someone's way, and for the love of god, don't stay in someone's way. We're busy. Move to the side or you're gonna get bit, and ain't Noone gonna have sympathy.
I get renewed appreciation for this photo every time I see it. I’d love to know the context. Did they tell the kids that the bunny has rabies or something?
This is all the context that "know your meme" gives:
The photo was taken in early 2015 by Camera Shy, a professional photography service based in Utah that specializes in family portraits. The image first appeared online when Camera Shy posted it to their Facebook[1] page on March 14th, 2015, with the caption "And sometimes bunny sessions go like this…" (shown below, left).
On March 16th, Imgur[2] user RockiesInOctober posted the photo with the caption, "My kids during our family pictures this past weekend." Later that day, they linked that image to the Reddit community /r/photoshopbattles.[3] As of 2021, the post received more than 3,000 upvotes, and multiple users created altered versions of the image in the following years (examples seen below, center and right).
That's 12.8 billion bites for NYC alone (the population is 8 million there, right? I can't be bothered to check)
