Fresh basil

I overheard some of my students (16-18 years old) during lunchtime today. They were all standing over a phone, looking at a photo.
"Is that a dead deer?!". "It looks like a dead deer" said another. "Oh I thought it was a dead deer too".
Then they all agreed it was a french bulldog. WTF?!
- They were speaking about this meme:
  It has a backstory related to recent events: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/elon-musk-laughing-at-dead-deer
  
  Elon Musk and Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland hosted an episode of PewDiePie's YouTube series Meme Review titled "Will Smith hosts Meme Review"
  Holy fucknuggets, how can there be that much cringe in one location
  
  holy shit I thought this was just a meme because a tesla autopilot hit a deer or something. he actually burst out laughing at an actual dead deer? jesus fucking christ... totally not serial killer energy
- Was the bulldog ok though?
- Close enough
That pizza gatekeeping
- Pizzagating? Oh no

It's the fault of those woke leftist school lunch policies that kids these days eat well enough to know what fresh basil is.
(Or "kids those days ate," at least, because that policy is long gone due to Trump.)
Shut up Donny! You’re out of your element!
I don't think I knew what fresh basil was till I was 30.
- Sorry bud, you have no credibility in this post
  
  I don't even know what basil is because I could not care less about learning English spice names nor do I care enough to look it up. I'm guessing it's those eatable leaves though because those are called Basilikum in German. The name also allows English basil "enjoyers" to make a pun and we all know this is a sign of a correct translation.
