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.

Bri'ish "people" : *pretending they have any sense of taste* "mIcRoWavE wA'eR taSte difFerenT."
In our defence (spelt correctly) all of the above are acceptable, except the microwave. Reasons being that a) the microwave doesn't boil it evenly, and you get pockets of mega heated water that bubble up and splash up in the microwave, then drip off the manky ceiling of the microwave and into your cup. B) microwaves stink. I don't know anyone that uses one for anything other than popcorn or melting butter. But if you're using it to cook as well.... 🤢
Really the only danger in using a microwave to boil water is superheating if there are no nucleation sites in the mug.
Which is why it's important to put the teabag in the water before microwaving it.
I know you are trying to bait me and I'm not going to fall for it
