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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

MODERATORS
They're orbiting around the earth at those speeds, but the relative speed difference between two objects orbiting the same planet could be anywhere from 0km/s all the way up to the combined orbital speeds of each object(i.e if both objects are going 15km/s, then the max possible speed they could whizz past each other is 30km/s), depending on which direction the objects are traveling.
Think about cars all traveling the speed limit(say, 40km an hour) on a straight road. The cars going the same direction as each other have no speed difference, they're moving relative to the earths surface, but relative to each other they're not moving at all. The speed difference with a car going the opposite direction, on the other hand, would be 80km an hour.
