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.

If you don't live in an actual desert, there's probably some local plant you can use as a groundcover which will cushion your kids when they fall. In my area for instance carex pansa (sand dune sedge) is popular. You might be growing some local sedge or ground over now, only you think of it as a weed. The first thing to do is to stop thinking of a uniform surface as the goal. Think meadow rather than lawn. If you painted a picture would you have a swath of flat green without nuance? Even if your kids are playing sports out there, so you need to trim it to a few inches all over, it's still better for the environment to use native plants. And even tolerate the non-natives like dandelions rather than spread poison. Obviously you don't want poison ivy or puncturevine, anything that can harm your kids.
