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.

what if the number of people on the tracks is “infinite in both directions”? eg the trolley “starts at” -∞?
That's still the same size of infinity. Infinities are strange. But you can rearrange -∞ to ∞ to be the same size as 0 to ∞. You can do this by moving the negative numbers alongside their positive counterpart, like so:
0, 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, etc.
This infinity is still a countable infinity, same as
0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
So it makes no difference whether you start at 0 or -∞
yeah, but if it starts at -inf and I start at 0 then I don't have to look at the horrible things I'm allowing to happen
