Is there a functional difference between eating 2000 calories a day vs eating say 3500 calories one day and 500 the next? Aside from pain from overeating one day and hunger the next, of course

In terms of weight gain? No.

Some people would perceive themselves as having more energy on the 3500 calorie day for example (and so this could be used as a training day), and perhaps going as low as 500 cals a day might decrease performance since it's so damn low, there is IN GENERAL not a difference.
A more practical example is people who eat like 2500 on non training days, and 3500 on training days compared to 3000 all the time. That typically will not make a difference.
It's more useful to think about total caloric intake on a weekly basis rather than daily.

If your cutting the latter is the strategy called caloric cycing or refeed where you are cutting calories for majority of the week, but having one at a surplus prevents your body from adapting to new lower baseline of caloric needs. Manipulation of hormone secretion

Does it work or is it just a meme?

Well.. Technically no it doesnt really do shit other than you'll feel different on those particular days. The body is amazing at adapting to different challenges and sure you can do this, only thing is would you have the willpower to only eat 500 cals the day after?
The answer to that for a lot of people is no..
but if you want to do it go ahead, unless you got some disease or whatever you should be good my dude.
