Post memes here.
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.
- Wait at least 2 months before reposting
- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

We have these here in the UK but the mechanism is the other way round, so that it makes to sense 👍
Do you mean it makes sense like how your school lunch ladies appear to be called dinner ladies? That kind of sense?
All meals in Britain are called "dinner" somewhere in the country :)
Maybe it makes sense like how private schools there are called "public schools" and public schools are called "private schools". I will never understand that one.
1st position detent = tilt (small opening).
2nd position detent = door (big opening).
I get that "horizontal handle = door" kinda makes sense... But doesn't feel intuitive to me
It's just in the direction you would need to apply force to open it no?
What do you mean by the mechanism is the other way around?
