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.

I believe that Iceland is home to some incredible geothermal networks, and thus they can produce aluminum at a volume and rate that outstrips any other nation by a mile.
That said, I'm curious how the electricity would be transferred from Iceland's geothermal plants with maximum fidelity. Follow-up, if that number changes, so should the "96%", correct? I'm no engineer, barely an oneironaut, so I'm just throwing it out there, in case anyone can break that down? 🤓
Based on this Ontario and Quebec should be pretty good at recycling aluminium as well.
It's this what ol Q'bert brought to France when they wanted to split off and come home to mommy? Just asking.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_recycling
Aluminium recycling is the process in which secondary commercial aluminium is created from scrap or other forms of end-of-life or otherwise unusable aluminium.[1] It involves re-melting the metal, which is cheaper and more energy-efficient than the production of virgin aluminium by electrolysis of alumina (Al2O3) refined from raw bauxite by use of the Bayer and Hall–Héroult processes.
Recycling scrap aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminium from the raw ore.[2]
Care to take a swing at the other points I brought up? Thanks for the silent clarification via wiki, though. That's a step.
I'm not really sure what you're asking or getting at. Could you be more explicit?
Which points are stumping you? I can help, I think.
