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.

Now that you pointed it out, this annoys me more than people who put the currency sign after the amount.
Welcome to Europa were we do exactly that, as the placement of the currency symbol is a locale thing not a universal.

To me putting it first feels funny. Euro 100, instead of 100 euros. While writing it you need to remember to put the symbol before writing the amount. Funny thing
I dont know why that annoys me. It does annoy me but it shouldn't because at least it has a logic to it.
£2 Is spoken "two pounds" not "pound two"

Listen do you say Dollars 300 ($300) or do you say 300 Dollars (300$)?
I rest my case lol
I'll give you my 2¢ on this: I like the dollar sign before the number. When I say "3 dollars" I see it as "$3" not "3$" and I don't see it as "dollars 3" unless I'm telling a riddle.
Just like with American date structure: I'll say July 26, 2026 and will see it as 07/26/2026.
(But when I put a date in files I go for YYYY/MM/DD format)
(Whoever created these systems had a funny sense of synergy lol)

FYI this is like 283 and 303 kelvin
What is that in Rankine?
509.4 and 545.4 °R respectively
If anyone needs it: it's 12.750 and 23.250 °Rø respectively
I'm aware, but it's more fun this way.
You do realize that we're not ignorant to the metric system, right? Anyone with even the slightest interest in science and/or computing knows what celsius is.
Heatwaves in London are strange. You see a few people outside in light sweaters. It's like they don't know what to do. It's like they don't own t-shirts

For those who don’t know the quick and dirty conversion it’s double it and add 30. So both temps are ~50F and ~90F
Less quick and dirty is double it, take off 10% and add 32. So both temperatures are exactly 50°F and 86°F
That's not less quick and dirty that's clean and true.

That's not even flexing with the shorts. It's -15°C that's the flex
Jackets at 30C??
An Australian family moved to my town on some kind of exchange and yah, the one kid was still wearing a jacket at 30. Literally never wasn't cold.
Taught us how to play cricket, he was a cool kid.

10° is a completely normal temperature to wear shorts at
"When will I ever use this in real life?!?" I wonder how successful "to understand the international memes" would be in the classroom 🤔
if you been in stem in the US, you would use metric. people get wierd when you say kg, instead of lbs, or m/KM instead of miles.

Australians totally wear shorts all the way down to 0 degrees.
Kiwis too, on the south island while wearing jandals in June.
Are jandals sandals that are made out of jeans?
Short for "Japanese sandals", the term used for flip-flops in New Zealand. Aussies call them thongs, but you know how Aussies are.

You dropped de minus on 10C.
Yeah but, 10c is 50f, which is not cold for shorts. Maybe cool at best? I wear shorts year round though 😬.
That entirely depends on where you live and what temperatures you're used too. I live in a hot part of Australia and absolutely wouldn't wear shorts in 10c because my body is acclimated to hotter weather.
