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.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

That was the thing with these old heavy CRTs ... they could take a beating .. they could also give a beating.
have you really used a CRT if you haven't learned how to smack it back into working?
lol ... I had a few family members with that mentality ... you gave it a few gentle smacks to try to coax it to work and often it did work ... but when it didn't, they'd hit it harder, then harder, then harder until the screen just turned into horizontal or diagonal static which usually meant the thing was destroyed.
Sounds like they didn't know how to hit it right to me
Good ol percussion maintenance
I think the difference is that they where build to be repairable, and survive some bumps during transport. Back in the 70s and 80s a large screen tv was a status symbol, and a top end model could cost multiple months of salary and last 10 years or more.
