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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Ok, Brits. Educate me. What's the benefit of a tea kettle over heating water in the mug you'll drink it out of in the microwave? (Assuming you're making one cup of tea.)
The kettle is much faster.
well you see, when you heat it slowly over a flame, the bad stuff evaporates and leaves behind a purer flavor...
when you microwave, it doesn't
p.s. im an american and have no problem microwaving water... but i do swear there's a slight difference... maybe it's from the cup being nuked?
i also microwave cold coffee...
The "slight difference" is you need to clean out your fucking microwave. 🗣️
I've made tea on gas, electric, & even mf induction stovetops, over an open flame, using an electric kettle and in a microwave.
There's 0 difference. The only thing that matters is getting the water to boiling temperature, which all can.
"Why does my water taste gross? Must be the radiation's fault?"
Meanwhile, 3 years of food grease, splashes, and debris coat the lining of the entire microwave.
