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.

MODERATORS
I recently saw a return of the "chimney", but now they're large grated cubes with the aircon unit inside. Instead of hanging an ugly box off the side of the wall, they're up on the roof and camouflaged a bit.
Where is this? Because where I live, whole-house AC units sit on the ground next to the home.
A lot of newer homes being built (at least in California) are putting them in the attic or on the roof.
I know a city in California with the heat exchangers on the roof. Do you have any idea why? (The properties were large enough the footprint wouldn't be an issue.)
Where I am in the USA Midwest the heat exchangers are all on the ground as they are easier to install and maintain.
Looks and maybe energy efficiency (if done correctly) would be the biggest reasons I can think of.
The roofs were hot. I expect ground level in the shade of the house would be better for efficiency.
Perhaps it had something to do with the location of the indoor unit? I am used to them in the basement or first floor, but some places put them in the ceiling.
