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
Have flown at least twice a year for two decades and never even heard of an airline overbooking a flight.
The EU would tear you a new arsehole if you tried to sell something that doesn't exist
Actually this happened to me this summer, came to board the flight and there weren't any seat left, so they told me to go to the gate in case somebody didn't show up. I was lucky enough to board the plane, but yeah, overbooking is a thing in Europe
Yes it is, but a passenger has so many consumer rights that it can end up more expensive for airlines to overbook than it is to lose a fare or two. It's very rare for it to happen, and it's usually US airlines that do it in the EU because their US passengers don't know their rights in the EU
It can happen in Europe maybe depends on the airline not sure. I have been asked recently if I was okay traveling the next day in Athens.
They will pay you to get you off the flight + plus hotel but it's definitely possible.
Man, don't go reading into Failure to Delivers (FTDs) and Naked Shorting then. Those two economic concepts are absolutely raping the American economy.
