Reference excerpt

A starter pack, also referred to as a starterpack or starter kit, is an internet meme meant to describe or illustrate a stereotypical person, place, culture, object, or opinion.

History The starter pack meme originates back to September 27, 2014 when a Twitter user under the username of ItsLadinaPlis posted the "I Date Black Guys Starter Pack". The name, "starter pack", was originally used for sets of collectibles to start a collection; however, the name "starter kit" for usage of memes dates back to 2011 on use of "crazy cat lady" lolcat memes. Starter pack memes are now most popular on Reddit on the "r/starterpacks" Subreddit.

Structure A starter pack is usually an arrangement of 4 or more images on a white background. The title "X starterpack" (where X is replaced with the stereotype) is written in a plain black serif font. The images are generally neutral depictions of clothing or other items the stereotype is generally seen with, but might also show locations, behaviors, or other ideas associated with the stereotype. Sometimes text in plain black serif font describes behavior or gives phrases the stereotype might say.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Starter pack (meme)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Starter pack (meme) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Starter pack (meme) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Starter pack (meme) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Starter pack (meme)

In research: Starter pack (meme) appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Starter pack (meme) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Starter pack (meme) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Internet memes introduced in 2014, Internet stubs, Subreddits, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Starter pack (meme) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
