A meme is any viral unit of culture. An image macro is just one of the many forms a meme can take.

The term meme was coined in Richard Dawkins' 1976 book The Selfish Gene, but Dawkins later distanced himself from the resulting field of study. Analogous to a gene, the meme was conceived as a "unit of culture" (an idea, belief, pattern of behavior, etc.) which is "hosted" in the minds of one or more individuals, and which can reproduce itself in the sense of jumping from the mind of one person to the mind of another. Thus what would otherwise be regarded as one individual influencing another to adopt a belief is seen as an idea-replicator reproducing itself in a new host.

I just bought a cheap set from Amazon and they keep me nice and cool.

Would you mind linking me the set you bought? All the cheap ones I've seen seem to suffer from extreme pilling. Thanks.

That's funny, because my family that lives in the Midwest says everyone takes way longer to get things done than when they lived in CA.

Does the glass or plastic have any effect on the overall heat retention of the blanket? I'm looking for a weighted blanket, but I live in Southern CA and need something very cool. Thanks.

In coastal California snakes are nearly nonexistent. There are some in the dry hilly areas, but after people settle the area the snakes disappear. I've lived in coastal southern CA my entire life and I've never seen a snake in the wild.
