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.

You can physically live in a car but depending where you live, this might me illegal or difficult to do legally. You don't have an address and governments usually don't like that. And it's also not always possible/legal to park a car somewhere a sleep in it.
Still, motonormativity makes living in a car much easier than just roaming around with a tent. There are exceptions here called "relay villages" where people can legally park and sleep in their car or RV for the night. I love touring on my bike and some rail trails are going through those villages. And obviously you can sleep in a car there, but not pitch a tent for the night if you just have a bike. I'm so jealous of the privilege of people with RVs and cars sometimes.
Well, there's always something like this, though it's kinda pricey. I also saw a video of a lady who made her own teardrop bike camper. Xyla Foxlin, I think was her name. Sadly, that was the only video of particular interest on her channel, at least for me.
This is nice but not an option for me. This won't pass through any chicane of the cycling network and I wouldn't be able to leave my town. I also wouldn't have any space to store it when not in use. Plus, I'm usually doing multi day trips that amounts to more km than what an electric bike can do on a single charge in a day, and pulling a camper behind would reduce even more the possible range.
I fantasized a lot about campers like this, thinking I could leave it at my parent's and tour my native region. But again, chicanes... chicanes everywhere.
I would have to use the roads, with cars, and be very limited in range compared to what I'm used to. So unfortunately, as nice as this seems, it's not really an option.
EDIT: Here's an example of a very tight chicane on a remote rail trail.
Ah, that's a shame. I do remember seeing a Youtube video of a lady who made her own minimalist teardrop bike camper that looked like it would be a lot less unwieldy than the one I linked, but it would still reduce the ebike range by a nonzero amount.
