I don’t actually know what the higgs field is.

I wouldn’t be comfortable getting into the details of the actual “Higgs field” is, nor the Higgs boson, as I am not confident in my understanding, but, for the sake of the meme, the following excerpt from Wikipedia should suffice:

via the Higgs mechanism, [the Higgs boson] gives a rest mass to all massive elementary particles of the Standard Model, including the Higgs boson itself. [source]


I assumed it was gravity.

Gravity can be understood as the attractive force that two massive objects impart on eachother [1.1] ­— the strength of the gravitational force imparted by one object onto another is proportional to the mass of the former object [1.2]. Do note that this is a simplification. Gravity, as far as it is currently understood, is quite a bit more complicated than this (I am primarily referring to General Relativity) [1].
