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

This is the first time I hear about "stone".
It's 6.35 kg for anyone too lazy to look it up.
My parents (born in Australia in the 1960s) used to use stone, just for weighing people. Everything else is in grams or kilograms.
The older generation in Australia do still use stone a lot, in my experience.
My mum used to use stone, but stopped using it in the mid 2000s I think. It's definitely less common than it used to be!
