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.

Summer fans be like "ah yes 50 degrees celsius"
Yeah anything above about 24 and I'm dying. Meanwhile winter is nice and cold so I can just wear more if it's a problem
Yes. But at night it gets way better and at worst is annoying. Winter is cold all day all the time and causes literally pain and sickness
High latitude people can't comprehend the heat
What the fuck are you talking about? People at high latitudes have the hottest summers. Ever hear of Darwin? Cairns? Broome? It's the people from the south that don't know what heat is. Adelaidians will complain about the heat and it's only 30 degrees.
I've never seen an Australian do the American thing of assuming the person they're responding to is from their country before. For most of the English speaking world, higher latitudes = further from the equator.
Probably the mention of winter. The Southern Hemisphere has just left Winter... Also I think they're driving on the left side of the road in the picture.
Yeah, the picture's of the intersection of Flinders and Exhibition in Melbourne
Higher latitudes are always further from the equator. Why are you people arguing about this when neither of you seem to understand that the lowest latitude is 0 degrees which is exactly on the equator.
Only if by higher you mean higher absolute value, it's not particularly unorthodox for "higher" to generally refer to "more up on North up maps"
-12° is the same size as 12°. For angles the negative sign denotes direction. -12 N is just 12 S. Sure, but maps can be turned upside down. Is higher now south? What about a map centered on the north pole. Which direction is up then?
It's a late winter but very distant from Christmas miracle!
Latitude of Darwin: 12.5 S
Latitude of Adelaide: 34.9 S
"High latitudes have the hottest summers"
I have arthritic joints and would still rather winter than sweat all day in >90% humidity
