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.

Many years ago I saw a report on an elderly woman that killed a bunch of people sitting on one of those concrete benches at a bus stop in Florida (of course). Apparently, she never hit the brakes. Only the resistance of the bodies, concrete bench and building beyond, stopped the car. She was essentially charged with a traffic violation. And it turns out this wasn't the first time she had done something like this. This was literally decades ago so I don't know if or how the laws have changed but I remember thinking at the time, if you want to get rid of someone and get away with it, that's the way to do it.
