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.
Cleanup was too much for me. Didn't regret the purchase, but I don't have it anymore.
The YouTuber "Ordinary Sausage" managed quite a lot of spectacular deep frying failures. It's often bad technique but still...
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.
Have you ever fried something, then battered it and fried it again, like adding another layer to your grilled cheese?

I tell you hwat
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.
Pressure cooking is still boiling though
Not without a way to contain liquid fats underwater.
Trying to figure out what separates us from other animals is a unique human trait.
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.
For most animals with claws or hooves it would be extremely hard to do that without hurting itself in the process
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.
I think animals are wise enough to understand most things don’t have a flared base
Some random traveler:
My milk is so far spoiled it has gone solid. But I can't let it go to waste!
Achievement unlocked Discovered cheese
Technically we don't know what every bear has or hasn't done
100% incorrect
Beer, bread, and deep frying. Deep fry bread in beer to achieve the ultimate Human Experience™
For a quite wide definition of beer though
Why do I feel like I've been insulted at the same time as praised?
"But, I don't like..."
"Ah, ah, ah--but, have you tried it deep-fried?"
"Hmm... Ooo!"
"Yep."
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.
This just in: Scotland new capital of Humanity!

Deep frying pizza is what makes British cuisine superior
(Or at least is the saving grace after shepherd's pie, English breakfast, and all their other tripe)
and all their other tripe
Not sure if generic insult or if you're talking about actual tripe.
Y'all got any papers on one of the Australian Aboriginal societies deep frying?
Relatedly, there was a discussion here on Native Americans using seed oils for cooking that indicated that they did so rarely, if at all.
But native Americans did harvest lard to make protein bars, so possibly animal fat frying
I'm not sure I'd call any part of the process of making pemmican "frying."
Certainly not. My point was solely that their only method of deep frying would have involved lard, and I can’t say either way whether they did so
