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.

Automatic transmission ❤️
Try as I might I don't think I'll ever understand people who like manual transmission. I think it's like some kind of elitism thing? I can drive the annoying esoteric vehicle so I'm better than you?
It's not like it actually makes you go faster, automatic transmissions are pretty good these days. I've tried to drive manual vehicles and it just required way too much of my attention for what should be a simple means of conveyance.
Most people have manual cars in the UK. Automatics are the weirder, more esoteric ones to us.
I think it's more or less a cultural thing at this point
FWIW I believe competitive drivers prefer manual control (even if the gearbox itself is automatic) because controlling when the gear change happens can make a difference in a race
I heard that automatic cars were more common in the USA but idk if that's true
Nearly 98% of cars sold in the US are automatic. Manual transmissions are often not even an option for a lot of models.
That explains it then! Thanks :)
