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.

My country has some of the fastest internet in the world, having a video buffering instead of starting immediatly at 4k 60fps is a weird and unusual thing.
Why this random ass latam country has it so good? I don't fkng know, competition probably, as there are many companies fighting for costumers.
Its because of legacy technology debt, the US was "first" to deploy out consumer Internet infrastructure, but that also means before we could deploy each iteration something had/has to be done with the old and that's pricey
Now a developing country deploying internet infrastructure for the first time can deploy straight to fiber because the countries who were first did all the hard work developing the tech and they don't have to worry about ripping out any old infrastructure
How true is that tough, is not like in the 90s there was no internet, there pretty much was.
