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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Except for those flat-earth guys who started doing actual research with lasers and gyroscopes, proving that the earth really is round and rotating, too.
It takes a special kind of person to go through all that effort and then say, "Oh, that test showed that the Earth is round. There must be a problem with the methodology! Just like the previous dozen tests."
Are you talking about the same team that then refused to accept their own results and are still trying to prove the world is flat?
I remember that for the doc. I think part of the reason they don't want to accept the truth is because the community and friends they made along the way in believing this bat shit crazy stuff. Someone should make a post flat earthers group. Shit add Scientology and any other crazy cult type behavior.
My theory is we are very easily susceptible to friendly groups that accept us because we want that community. That idea that we have a lack of a "3rd place" after work and home creates a desire to connect on a different level. The details of believing the earth is flat, Trump is the second coming, or the anti-vaxers don't matter as much to some people as being around others and being accepted.
