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

Incoming advices of external CD-ROM drives in 3, 2, 1...
You can just buy an internal DVD-ROM drive and install it in your pc. If you lack an IDE port on your motherboard you can use PCIe expansion cards. Power can be supplied by Molex.
... Sata DVD-ROM drives are a thing
Hell I've still got one just in case
Oh word?
They are, but now some modern cases don't have bays so personally I'm still restricted to external if I want one.
Could always plug it in temporarily; do what you gotta do, then remove it again.
I've actually done that
I even have a blu ray drive
Whenever I see a SATA optical drive that someone doesn't want, I grab it and tuck it away. Shit is rare now.
I'm sure I could go to a shop and just pick one up, but honestly, I don't have a reason to. Give me an opportunity to snag one for free and I will not pass it up.
