I think a very small number of people today are aware of Arthurian legend. I think I have heard the phrase "lady of the lake" before but never really knew any context around it until I just now searched the term. I would have guessed it was the name of a ship or something.
Yeah and I seriously question what feels like “I couldn’t find anything about this in Google therefore nobody knows anything about this”. [1] I worked in a specialized reference library for a while and it was very eye-opening to see university students fail to find, say, 90% of our materials.

I highly doubt that - most memes are short-lived, community specific or barely identifiable to outsiders.
But you are, of course, unaware of memes you are not aware of.
Speak for yourself. I’m not aware of any memes that I am unaware of.
Just google 'tank of the lake, what is your wisdom' and you can catch up on a new meme genre

Most of them? Are you sure?

You can see 2 comments on that page, 6y ago, saying the meme is not relevant enough for it's own entry
I think people prefer the similar (derivative?) "senpai of the pool" for receiving wisdom from a non-native occupant of a body of water.
As long as you remember that supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
It's most popular in military enthusiast circles, especially around the video games World of Tanks and War Thunder, which tend to be somewhat insular
This begs the question, is it a meme if it is not seen?
Sounds like a question you should ask the panzer of the lake.

There are more memes than one person can know.

Do you have a go-to bit of advice you give to students who you've spotted are lacking research (and just plain search) skills?
(i.e. Something to kickstart them in the right direction, not just a way of saying "learn how to search better!")
