Got my butter robot meme removed from a group for being 'too deep'

I was sitting in my apartment in Austin last night scrolling through the Butter Robot Memes group, laughing at all the usual jokes about existential dread over toast. So I posted this edit I made where the butter robot asks 'What is my purpose?' and instead of Rick answering, it cuts to a clip from that Carl Sagan Pale Blue Dot speech. I thought it was clever, combining sci-fi humor with something profound. Within 30 minutes a mod took it down saying it violated rule 4 about no philosophical content. I messaged them asking how a butter robot meme can be too philosophical when the whole point IS the robot questioning existence. They never wrote back. Have any of you had mods kill a really good meme for a reason that made zero sense?

Man, I can't even get my coffee order right so I'm the last person to judge what's too deep.

Is it just me or does getting your coffee order wrong actually mean you're paying better attention than most people? Cause think about it, you're noticing when your brain is off, which is way more self awareness than someone who just orders without a second thought. The real issue is that we've turned ordering coffee into this performance where you have to act like you've got it all figured out, when really half these people are probably picking their drink based on what sounds cool. That kind of honesty beats pretending every day you're on top of things.
