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.

Deep fryer owner here. Nothing I've fried has been made worse by the deep fryer - and most things are substantially better. I do not regret the purchase.
Excuse me, but that's pan frying. Your meme is invalid.
You're absolutely right. deep (fried) apologies.
Beginner level tempura sushi (forgot the batter)
The YouTuber "Ordinary Sausage" managed quite a lot of spectacular deep frying failures. It's often bad technique but still...
The whole egg incident was a prime example of very bad food to deep fry though I think
Indeed, and I thought the deep fried hand was the worst idea
Maybe one day he will try to to freeze and batter the butter before deep frying.
Try deep fried soup
You can do that. Put it in the fridge and let it congeal, then make little balls and roll them in bread crumbs before frying. Basically Bitterballen
Fair warning: without a substantial binding component (ie. fats), that fried soup is going to be a bitch to eat before it melts, and moreso as it does. Choose wisely.
Just seal it in dough (as in soup dumplings) then deep fry them.
I've had deep fried butter.

What was the conclusion a commenter made again? Something about the common denominator between all societies is danger sticks and tasty doughs.
Something about stabbing something and eating fried dough
Really? Those blind shrimp aren’t deep frying their food on the undersea volcanos? Are we sure?
Yeah, because it's in water, not oil, it ain't frying. It's boiling.
The pressure at that depth allows the temperature to get way higher than 100°C, so I bet it probably is closer to frying than boiling.

If shrimp can fry rice, they can deep fry as well.
O really?
I've always said something similar, but not about deep frying.
I've always said it's sticking weird things up your butt.
You never see a bear out in the woods find a live mouse, and decide to stick it up it's own ass. You just don't see it. Exactly 0 bears have stuck a living mouse up their own butt.
I can't say the same for humans.
I don't know about bears, but I wouldn't it put it past a bonobo...
Edit: Dolphins are also famously kinky and some of them would probably do it if they could.
I believe there was recently a discovery of chimps shoving grass up their butts so the tips hang out the end.
Some random traveler:
My milk is so far spoiled it has gone solid. But I can't let it go to waste!

Elephants would probably try it but they can't reach, so they get a friend to help

"But, I don't like..."
"Ah, ah, ah--but, have you tried it deep-fried?"
"Hmm... Ooo!"
"Yep."
That and the cool S.
Trying to figure out what separates us from other animals is a unique human trait.
This just in: Scotland new capital of Humanity!
Not to diminish Scotlands' clear achievments in this area, but I l'm pretty sure China was deep frying foods (and making iron...) several milennia before deep fried pizza and mars bars ever graced Scotlands munchy boxes.

Why do I feel like I've been insulted at the same time as praised?
Beer, bread, and deep frying. Deep fry bread in beer to achieve the ultimate Human Experience™
For a quite wide definition of beer though
I'd argue barbeque. Cultures the world over have some form of cooking things slow, frequently underground to break down tougher foods.
Deep frying is a result of excess while some form of barbeque would have been a very logical step for anyone cooking on coals.
Only in warm climates, definitely not "almost all" cultures.
Y'all got any papers on one of the Australian Aboriginal societies deep frying?
