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.

Meanwhile the immune cells:
Lololol. The resistive mechanism makes you insane. Literally...
Well, at least it works most of the time.
What? Going insane?
Not dying when you get sick
Ooops, I read your comment wrong and thought it was body going insane 😶
There was a video by a medical channel(actual doctor) I follow on Youtube that explained why the body temp increase happens during an infection in one of his recent videos covering the Hantavirus situation.
TD;LR: Its that parts of the immune system get sigificantly more effective with a slightly increased temperature.
Wow, that's really interesting!
Any idea of the mechanism why they get more effective? Doesn't seems like it would be required to havw an effective immune system. Maybe body temp is the trigger for them to activate? (I have no background knowledge of this)
Its like in chemistry every 10 degree increase in heat doubles reaction speed
And the plague stays...
hehe stupid human body
