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.

I wanna make one those floating tables that works on this weird science.
collapsed inline media
I could buy one, but I want to make one to better understand how it works because I just can't wrap my head around written or verbal explanations.
The outer chains are purely for stability of the top. The center one holds all weight.

i like the little table orb things

Big one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZTKL4f3azA
Rubber band in the middle is trying to contract, pulling the top of the table up, and the chains keep it level?
Not completely right. The middle can just be a piece of chain as well, but it needs to be under tension. Steve Mould explains it very well in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0onncd0_0-o
Something like that; has something to do with tension but I could not explain it if my life depended on it lol
