Thou must construct additional pylons
doth
Technically, it would still be are, the plural indicative of (to be)
Doth is third person singular indicative of (to do), a different verb entirely, as in: he doth protest too much.
So we were both wrong.
Unless… the original meme’s grammar was so bad that it used are in the second person singular sense. In which case, art is correct.
