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.

Could be my professional deformation as a food technologist, but for some things, most notably baking, I absolutely demand proper measurement.
With enough things considered (for baking: weight of the ingredients, gluten strength and moisture content of flour, yolk to white ratio in eggs, fat content in milk, humidity, leavening/baking temperatures, steaming/not steaming, moisture of additional components, order of assembly - measure and plan out as much as you can) you'll always have a perfect bake instead of "oh, ended up not quite as I wanted".
This is all the reasons I don't measure. I bake by feel. Protein content in the flour and to many other variables, I just adjust stuff till it feels right and proof
Yeah when I've truly messed up baking it's usually because I ignored my guts and just followed the recipe.
A recipe is a great guide, but unless you're using the exact exact same ingredients in the exact exact same conditions, then you're going to want to improvise.
