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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Americans who drink tea generally use a stovetop kettle. Sometimes they use an electric one. But what does it matter how the water gets hot, if the water's hot? Microwave radiation doesn't leave a taste in water or something
Boiling it with some kind of kettle can make minerals drop out of solution, but I really doubt it would make a significant taste difference unless the kettle is attached to copper piping leading to a catch basin (aka a still).
What if it turns out that Bri'ish people just use pure lead kettles.
I have been drinking a lot of tea because I had a persistent cough. I use the microwave because it's faster than boiling my kettle.
