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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen

Do TVs actually refuse to work if you don't connect them to the internet?
I’ve owned a lot of different brands and none have ever pestered me to connect to the internet.
It could be the very cheap ones that make you do it. When I visited China I noticed that every TV showed ads so could be a jurisdiction thing too
Depends on the TV. Most of them work without internet. Only a few of them fit the meme.
Actually, I just realized that the TV wouldn't know to update if it isn't connected to the internet, so the meme falls apart.
there's ones that lose money if you buy them, so they are extremely cheap. They make it back by you watching ads, selling your data etc.. I could imagine that those force you to connect to the internet.

Old TVs could also take a hit from a bowling ball without a problem, new ones can break if hit by a rubber band!
Old ones could also distort the image if you moved a strong magnet across the screen.
