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
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca
- Merkitse K18-sisältö tarpeen mukaan

MODERATORS
The AC compressor shuts off when your engine exceeds ~4k rpm on most cars anyways. It can only spin so fast without causing problems. And if you’re trying to pass you’re probably exceeding 4k (on a gas engine) and the car is smart enough to figure it out.
A lot of newer cars don't have the clutch anymore, they instead use a pressure valve to reduce pressure on the compressor. Should have the same effect though
But it gives you a fraction of an edge on the beginning before you hit 4k in that scenario. So you have a faster start.
