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.

Handedness doesn't really matter, it's all about how you were taught (or weren't) to do things. For example, my brother is left-handed, but he uses a mouse in the right hand. I'm right handed, but I'm holding the fork in the right hand.
I hold a mouse in my right too. But that's because most mice are designed for right hands.
Im right handed but use mouse with left.
Most mice are symmetric. Only more expensive ergonomic mice have handedness.
Also left-handed but always been using computer mice in my right hand and no problems with precision.
It's not that simple either though. Yes, I do play the guitar with my right hand and I use computer mice with the right hand. This doesn't change the fact that writing with the right hand is incredibly stressful to my brain and right-handed scissors do not work in my right hand either. Handedness is more like a default setting: You can change the setting to the other hand, but you will have to make an conscious effort to do so every time a new motor skill is learned. I refused to learn computer mice with my left hand because that's just not where mice where in computer rooms and at friend's houses and such. I refused to learn left-handed guitars because then I wouldn't be able to play any other guitar than my own. That's not "doesn't matter" that's "deliberately put in the effort to override the brain".
I'm left handed, and I use a mouse with my right hand since I was 11 (now I'm 35) because my two brothers are right handed.
