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.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

Canada did a sudden change and adjusted pretty well. Moved here recently and they're pretty consistently metric, though I see some use of Fahrenheit every so often, though I think that's by virtue of being close to the US.
Pretty mix in Canada, not as mix as UK but:
Pool and oven temps, height, weight, construction mesurment, cooking mesurments = imperial.
Outdoor temps, distance and speed = metric.
There's a similar chart for Canadians:
That's good 👍. I still have no idea how cold or hot it is if someone expressed temperature in Fahrenheit.
